GUIDE : EVERY
SUSTAINABLE
KITCHEN HAS A
FRESH FEEL
ABSTRACT
A good kitchen is obviously important in any home. However, it can be even more
important in eco-friendly homes in certain ways. One reason is that a well designed
kitchen can be multi-functional, which reduces the need to have other homes in the
house. This can reduce the need to use extra energy on heating and lighting.

INTRODUCTION
Every day should begin with peace and quiet for you. It’s likely that you cook and eat
in your kitchen as a family. The kitchen is where you and your family and friends
spend most of your time together, eating, drinking, and cooking. In the kitchen, you
and your loved ones form a vital link that extends beyond the walls of your home.
This is one of the biggest benefits of having a multi-purpose kitchen in an eco-
friendly home. You will be able to save energy by using the kitchen for multiple
reasons, thereby reducing your carbon footprint.

I. Gorgeous green kitchen has a fresh feel

‘The house needed a bit more TLC than we thought,’ says Charley. ‘The windows
were single glazed and the panes were cracked, so we needed to replace them, then
other things cropped up that we didn’t think we’d have to do. The foundations
needed to be deeper as the soil has a high water content and we’re on a hill. The
floor was a beautiful mosaic, but was all cracked and needed to be replaced. We
moved in December 2019 and started on the windows, then Covid happened and we
had to stop with half the windows done. We got the building works completed
between lockdowns one and two. We lived here during the build, but fortunately it
was summer, so it wasn’t too cold.’
'We converted the original kitchen into a hallway and utility room, knocked down the
old conservatory and built out and across. The former kitchen had a galley
layout and a huge Aga, but we wanted something that was open plan and connected
to the living area and playroom, and for us to be able to get out to the garden. We
used a building firm that did a pre-planning package and knew what was allowed in
terms of planning permissions. We had one pushback, which was that they wanted
us to drop down the roof height once we reached the border of the neighbours. We
wanted it to be as high as planning would allow so the room would feel more
spacious and bring in lots of light.’
‘We would have loved a deVOL kitchen, but it was out of budget. A friend
recommended Naked and we found it to be a really good middle ground in terms of
design and quality versus price. We did a lot of the planning ourselves and really led
the project, telling them we wanted a bank of units along the wall, an island and a
dresser. We went against advice for the distance between the island and wall units
and brought the island out further to make the kitchen more spacious.
‘We wanted a style in keeping with the period of the house and chose frameless
Shaker doors that are a bit more modern – I’d say what we have now is a mix of the
old and new.’

‘Originally our architect designed the extension with a whole wall of glass at the end,
but I wanted some sort of separation between the kitchen and the dining area, so we
have two sets of doors with a little wall in between. I think it actually makes the space
feel bigger.
‘I ordered almost all the possible paint samples as I love colour, but we ended up
choosing an emerald green I came across on social media – I really love it. We were
originally looking at dark colours that would match the Crittall-style doors. I always
wanted this style; it’s in keeping with the property and matches the stained glass
windows, which are leaded.’
‘We had a budget to stick to but because we were thrifty, we didn’t have to scrimp on
anything. I searched high and low to get the Buster & Punch-style handles that I
loved. I found the ones we used via Plank Hardware. I’d definitely recommend
asking for a discount on every single purchase you make: you don’t always get one,
but most people will be willing to give you something.'

II. The Importance of A Good Kitchen In an

Eco-Friendly House
A growing number of people are interested in sustainable living these days. You
can practice what you preach by building an eco-friendly home. The growing
interest in sustainable living has caused the market for eco-friendly homes
to grow to $116 billion in 2020.
There are a lot of factors that you should think about when you are choosing to
build or improve your eco-friendly house. It is easy to get preoccupied with some
of the fancier elements of eco-friendly homes, such as installing solar energy
panels or renovating the interior to minimize heat loss. However, there are more
specific decisions that must come into play as well.

All eco-friendly homes must have rooms that are designed around the objectives
of reducing the homeowner’s carbon footprint. This involves making sure that
the kitchen is designed to be both functional and eco-friendly.

Good Kitchens Are Essential in Eco-Friendly Homes

You and your family will spend most of your time in the kitchen, which is why it is the
most crucial room in your home. Since your kitchen is so important, it needs to be
properly designed. You probably start your day with a cup of coffee or an energizing
meal in your kitchen.
In addition to helping lower your carbon footprint by not using energy in other parts of
the house, spending more time in the kitchen can also improve the health of your
family. According to a study, cooking at home can help you live longer. It’s not just
adults that reap the benefits of eating home-cooked meals. Children develop social
skills and manners in the kitchen that will help them connect with others throughout
their lives, not just in the kitchen itself.
With young children, eating at home frequently is beneficial to their health, especially
if they are young enough. Children who eat home-cooked meals with their families
are less likely to use alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes. According to the results of the
same survey, youngsters who regularly ate dinner with their families got better
grades and were happy as a result.

Investing in your family’s health and well-being is linked to your investment in the
kitchen’s beauty. When looking for cheap kitchens for sale, you should consider all
the essential aspects. Your kitchen is the heart of your house, and if it’s well-
designed and functional, your family and guests will feel at home there. The positive
impact on your home’s worth and your well-being will be enormous.

Traditional Kitchens vs. Modern Kitchens for Your Eco-Friendly

Home
In the last two decades or more, kitchens have evolved into multifunctional living
rooms where more than just food preparation takes place. This has been a trend that
is separate from the transition to sustainable homes, but the two supplement each
other.
To better accommodate family and friends as an additional entertaining space,
newer homes were designed with larger kitchens in mind. Some kitchens became
more open to the rest of the house, while others remained closed off.
Kitchen islands and larger, more accommodating tables were built into these
modern, more accommodating kitchens so that guests could quickly move in and out
of them. Although larger kitchens might seem less environmentally friendly, they also
can be better for the environment when you consider that their multiple purposes
means that the space can be used more efficiently.
The delight of preparing a family or holiday meal together was a common experience
for many families, and children were often invited to participate in the process.
However, kitchens were made for a specific purpose. They were designed to serve a
practical purpose.

Kitchens are converted to living rooms as primary gathering

place
In the last two decades or more, kitchens have evolved into multifunctional living
rooms where more than just food preparation takes place. To better accommodate
family and friends as an additional entertaining space, newer homes were designed
with larger kitchens in mind.
Some kitchens became more open to the rest of the house, while others remained
closed off. Kitchen islands and larger, more accommodating tables were built into
these modern, more accommodating kitchens so that guests could easily move in
and out of them.
The design and usefulness of kitchens were being given a lot more consideration. In
addition, it was becoming more and more acceptable to think of the kitchen as a
living place, and individuals with smaller kitchens in older homes began to pay
attention to it. Because of this, homeowners began to remodel and expand their
kitchens to match the “fashion,” both in terms of lifestyle and re-sale value.

The Right Kitchen is Ideal for Eco-Friendly Homes

If you are building or renovating a home to be eco-friendlier, then your kitchen is
going to be very important. The design of your kitchen is going to help make your
home more energy efficient, which will therefore lower your carbon footprint.
The size of the kitchen, the size of the family, and the occupants’ lifestyle appear to
play a significant role in people’s lives. Separated from the rest of the house in old
homes, kitchens were small and isolated.
An enclosed area that could be closed off to hide the filth was used nearly entirely for
cooking. In the neighboring dining and living rooms, family and friends would gather
to dine and socialize. As a result, there was a greater emphasis on the dining and
living rooms in older homes. As far as kitchens were concerned, they were simply
functional.

Newer kitchens are going to serve multiple purposes, which will help make them
better for the environment. This is an issue that all eco-friendly homeowners should
consider.

III. 18 Glorious Green Kitchen Ideas

Minty Green Kitchen Cabinets for a Light and Airy Feeling
Kitchen accents in a pale shade of green can invigorate white walls. In this lovely
example by Black Lacquer Design minty green cabinetry adds to the bright and airy
feel of this minimalist kitchen. Note the gold light fixtures and hardware that layer on
a touch of luxury.

Green Kitchen Inspired by Nature

Shades of nature are central to this LEED-certified ranch house by the Chicago area
firm Morgante Wilson Architects. The kitchen reflects the home's property, a piece of
land with wooded areas. The soft green hue of the kitchen cabinetry complements
the outdoor setting while adding to the sense of being surrounded by nature.

Glossy Green Cabinetry in a Mostly White Kitchen

Shane Pliska, the owner of an interior landscape service called Planterra, surrounds
himself with greenery at home—literally. Not only does he live in a glass house in a
forest, but he also has a preference for green furnishings. The cabinetry in his
kitchen is just one example. They have a highly reflective surface, which gives the
entire space a cheerful lift.
Green Accent Chairs in a Black Kitchen
N’Ckyola Green the interior decorator behind Xtraordinary by Design punched up her
black kitchen with a couple of quirky, green accent chairs, which she hung on the
wall. The color lends a fresh spark of nature to the cooking space.

A Bold Shade of Green on a Kitchen Ceiling

This bright and colorful kitchen reflects the vibrant family who uses it every day, says
the interior design team at Studio Sven. Elevating things is the emerald green
ceiling. It is an unexpected jolt of color that energizes the cooking space while
throwing focus to the spectacular globe chandelier.

Bold and Moody Green Backsplash

Designer Mercedes Austin from Mercury Mosaics says green is a fantastic color for
kitchens because it acts like a neutral. That means many materials and hues can
readily pair with it depending on the shade of green you pick. Just keep in mind that
a vibrant tone of green will instantly energize a space.

A softer shade like sea glass will create a coastal vibe. This kitchen by Austin
features a deeper shade of green for an edgy twist. We love how it offsets the sky
blue base cabinets.

Rustic Kitchen Painted a Pale Shade of Green

It is almost tough to believe that this beautiful rustic-inspired kitchen was once a
bland shade of cream. Brett Elron the owner and head interior designer at Barter
Design perked things up with several gallons of green paint. The cabinetry is a lovely
shade called Moss Gray. The gorgeous hue spices things up without being
overwhelming. You can see how it offsets the glossy white subway and warm
butcher block countertops.

A Dark Green Kitchen Island That Matches Everything

Make your kitchen island a complete stand-out with paint. Here, Lacher
Construction did just that by painting the feature a vibrant shade of green. The hue is
a pitch-perfect harmonizer because it unites the brick, leather, iron, and natural wood
accents.

Heritage Farmhouse Kitchen With Green Cabinetry

The lovely green cabinetry in this new kitchen by Build With Rise, is true to the
home's heritage farmhouse roots while still feeling fresh and modern. Other features
that pile on rustic character include the brick oven hood fan, apron front sink, and
restored 100-year-old floors.

Two-Tone Cabinets Green Things Up

Arguably, most people love farmhouse kitchens for their modern good looks
anchored in vintage style. This example by Burnhill Kitchens takes things to the next
level with two-tone shaker cabinetry. The lush upper green cabinets pop against the
crisp, white beadboard backsplash.

A Minty Glam Kitchen

Super fresh kitchen accents like these spearmint cabinets can feel glamorous when
paired with hand-painted Moroccan tiles. The design team at Hausera also added a
vintage-inspired crystal chandelier to the mix. Mixing metals is another way to add
visual interest. Combining brass cabinet handles with stainless steel appliances and
chrome fixtures adds a contemporary spin.

Vintage Apple Green Kitchen Appliances

We certainly have a soft spot for colorful, vintage kitchens, so we cheered in delight
when One Fine Stay shared this cooking space in a home located in the Hollywood
Hills. Apple green appliances and checkered green flooring are combined with
beautiful blonde wood cabinets and cherry butcher block countertops. All of the
features are initially from the mid-century and impressively feel just as stylish today.

Make a Statement With Green and Gold Kitchen Features

Emerald green cabinets, gold hardware, and black waterfall countertops stand out
against the white tile backsplash to create a bold yet simple statement in this cooking
space by Black Lacquer Design.

DIY Kitchen With Colorful Features and Natural Accents

Colorful accents and natural textures were essential to this DIY kitchen makeover by
the couple behind Chris Loves Julia. They gave their old kitchen cabinets new life
using a beautiful shade of greenish-gray paint called Beguile by Valspar. The color
brings out the beauty of the rustic, butcher block countertops. FYI, it took the duo a
weekend to take their cooking space from meh to fab.

Use Green Wallpaper to Elevate a Kitchen

Gorgeous wallpaper will instantly transform any room in your home. This kitchen that
doubles as a dining room from One Fine Stay has walls covered with a whimsical
woodland pattern. Notice how the lush green colors really warm up the entire room
by bringing out the natural wood and copper tones.

Green Accents Perk Up This Traditional White Kitchen

Let's face it, while white kitchens have enduring style, their lack of color can also
make them feel lifeless and sterile. D2 Interieurs came up with a fix for their cooking
space. Bold, green light fixtures and a cheerful green patterned curtain brighten up
the entire room. The sprinkles on top of this delightful kitchen are the small colorful
accents that pick up on the various green tones.

Consider Adding One Truly Unique Kitchen Feature in Green

Are you looking for a unique way to personalize your space? Consider standard
kitchen fixtures in unexpected colors. The avocado green ceramic sink in this
cooking space by Hannah Dee Interiors announces to the world that the homeowner
is truly a decor maverick.

Coastal Kitchen With Green Backsplash

Nothing gives a kitchen a relaxed coastal vibe like handcrafted subway tile in a
watery shade of green as shown in this kitchen featured on Homepolish. Natural
accents from the wood coffered ceiling to the rattan wrapped dining stools layer on
more seaside appeal.
IV. 10 All-Natural, Homemade Cleaning
Solutions to Scrub Every Inch of Your
Home
You can make these simple, green cleaning solutions yourself.
The next time you have a sink to scrub or a window to wipe, no need to run to the
store: just raid your cupboards and mix up a homemade cleaning solution. Everyday
products like club soda (the bubbles help break down stains by loosening grime),
vinegar (the acidity inhibits the growth of bacteria and prevents mold and mildew
from forming), and even vodka (a proven germ eliminator) make for fast, cheap, and
effective homemade cleaners. They're natural, too.

These DIY cleaners include everything from a homemade all-purpose cleaner to a

natural glass cleaner and a solution for grimy hardwood floors. We have the
ingredients you need—chances are, you already have most of them—plus the steps
for mixing up the cleaning solutions and using them.

Homemade or natural cleaning solutions use simple chemicals and ingredients to

remove grime, deodorize, and, in some cases, even disinfect surfaces. They're great
for making surfaces look sparkling-clean. Still, if you're trying to disinfect or sanitize a
surface, you may be better off turning to a store-bought disinfectant (preferably one
approved by the FDA to kill bacteria and viruses) to ensure you've removed any
harmful entities. For every day cleaning, though, these homemade solutions might
be just what you need.

What's the shelf life of homemade cleaners? Most natural, DIY cleaning
solutions can last up to a month. But some ingredients (like hydrogen peroxide) lose
their potency more quickly. Your best bet is to mix up enough for only a onetime use.

Ready to start mixing and cleaning? Take a look at our cleaning recipes below,
organized in one convenient chart, or read on for a full breakdown of each recipe.

V. 5 Ways To Keep Your Dishwasher

Sparkling Clean
Keeping your cutlery, pots, pans, and other utensils clean is required to eat and
enjoy food hygienically, but doing this chore is something people try to avoid. Even
the inventor of the automatic cleaning machine Josephine Cochran designed and
built it because she was displeased with washing dirty dishes.

Today, dishwashers are commonly found in almost every household of Australia and
help people keep their utensils clean and sanitary. However, most are guilty of
neglecting the equipment's sanitation as it is perceived to be self-cleaning.

Tenants may get the dishwasher in their rented properties cleaned by professional
end of lease cleaners in Port Macquarie if necessary, and some homeowners may
do it too. Still, the majority of people don't think about it. Usually, dishwashers don't
need cleaning every day, but you should sanitise them every few weeks to prevent
the build-up of grime or gunk that can attract germs.

Here are five ways to keep your dishwasher sparkling clean at all times without using
harmful or harsh chemicals.

1. Sanitise With White Vinegar

Vinegar is a natural and non-toxic cleaner that is effective for sanitising almost any
surface or object. It is handy for removing grime and grease from stainless steel and
glass surfaces. For these reasons, many professional end of lease cleaners in Port
Macquarie use this versatile product to sanitise various kitchen areas safely and
organically.

To use this solution for sanitising your dishwasher, fill the dispenser with white
vinegar and run a cycle at the hottest temperature setting for a few minutes. Before
running the sanitation cycle, ensure the dishwasher is empty and let the dishwasher
aerate for at least 10-15 minutes afterwards. Not only will white vinegar sanitise your
dishwasher, but it will also make it shine and prevent bad odour.

2. Clean With Baking Soda Paste

Another wonderful and natural product you can use for cleaning the dishwasher is
baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate. It is mildly abrasive, excellent
grease-cutter, and safe-to-use on any surface, which is why it is a versatile organic
cleaner and used by the green end of lease cleaners in Port Macquarie.

For cleaning your dishwasher, make a runny paste of baking soda by adding water
and one teaspoon of dishwashing liquid. Next, follow these steps.

 Take out all the removable parts of the machines to wash and dry separately.
  Meanwhile, apply the paste with a flat brush across the appliance's interior
and exterior and let it dwell for at least 30-45 minutes. If possible, leave the
paste overnight for the best results.
 Next, using a wet sponge, start scrubbing in a circular motion to remove grime
and build-up gently.
 With a wet microfiber cloth, wipe to remove the paste and gunk completely.
 Wipe with a dry microfiber cloth to get rid of residues before letting the
appliance air dry further.

3. Use Biodegradable Wipes

Instead of using paper towels, choose to clean your dishwasher with biodegradable
wipes to do away with the guilt of harming the environment. Every week, you can
sanitise the appliance by wiping it with eco-friendly wipes to continually eliminate
grime, build up, and contaminants. Inculcating this habit will help keep your
dishwasher sparkling at all times and improve its functionality.

4. Wash With Soap and Water

One of the most effective and quickest ways of cleaning the dishwasher is to use
dishwashing liquid and warm water. It can get messy, but the results are fantastic,
and your dishwasher smells great afterwards. The tools you need besides the
products are microfiber cloths, a sponge or scrubbing pad, and containers to keep
the liquids.

Use the tools and products to wash the appliance and remove the contaminants
without any hassle or any kind of stress. After washing, make sure you dry the
appliance with a clean microfiber cloth and completely let the appliance air dry.

5. Sanitise With Lemon

Lemon is an excellent degreaser and deodoriser that not only sanitises but leaves
the surface smelling fresh. It contains citric acid that works wonderfully to remove
grime, gunk, and greasy splatters. To clean your dishwasher's interior and exterior
with lemon:

 Cut the fruit in half and submerge them in hot water for a minute.
 Squeeze the juice of one lemon in the water and use the halves to scrub the
dishwasher's surfaces.
 Ensure every part of the appliance is covered in lemon juice and pulp and
leave for at least 10 minutes.
 Once the dwell time is complete, wash the machines with hot water, get rid of
any residue, and let it air dry.
Dishwashers are designed to wash and sanitise utensils, which is why it is incorrect
to assume they are self-cleaning. You need to clean them regularly manually to keep
them functioning properly and increase their shelf life.

At the end of a tenancy, you can arrange for professional end of lease cleaners in
Port Macquarie to sanitise such fixtures. But for regular cleaning, use the methods
mentioned above to keep your dishwasher sparkling clean at all times.

CONCLUSION
Neutral colors like white and gray are overwhelming popular when it comes to
kitchens. But if you are looking to truly enliven your cooking space, consider a
vibrant shade of green. Sure, the tone may conjure images of vintage kitchens
tricked out with avocado and harvest gold appliances, but hear us out.
These days a few tasteful green accents, from mint to hunter, can transform your
kitchen into a thoroughly modern cooking space that is honestly both cool and
inviting. To help you start seeing things through our tinted lens, behold these
stunning green kitchen ideas.
