Eco Homes Can Be Luxurious As Well As Green

Eco homes can be luxurious as well as green

Creating an eco home can seem at odds with luxury. For too long, the eco movement has been associated with the anti-consumerist ‘woolly jumper brigade’, and eco homes seen as ugly prefabricated buildings which put function ahead of aesthetics.

But the perception of the eco home is changing.

Recently, the ‘Apple Hayes’ eco house was nominated in both the Best Eco Build and Best Luxury New Build categories at the Northern Design Awards. While at the high end of the scale, ‘Barnsley Hill Farm‘, with a £4m valuation, features a 25 seater home cinema, indoor pool and steam room but with the carbon footprint of an average two-bed flat.

These eco homes show that luxury and being environmentally friendly can go together. And the rise of an educated eco-conscious generation is leading to developers creating luxurious eco house developments all over Europe.

In the UK, ‘The Lakes’ features 160 luxury villas (starting at £870k) built with eco materials (e.g. sustainable timber) and with energy saving features, such as rainwater harvesting, wind turbines and solar panels.

In Switzerland one developer is pouring £1b into transforming the village of Andermatt into a car free community with 500 luxury apartments, which are to receive 50 percent of their energy from geothermal heating.

Eco furniture can be aesthetically pleasing, comfortable and green

As these examples show, eco homes can be aesthetically pleasing and luxurious. This extends to the eco furniture, eco appliances and other environmentally friendly features you furnish your eco house with.

Eco furniture is made from sustainably sourced materials, including textiles as well as timber, which are produced with the minimum environmental impact. The range of eco products available also includes eco wallpaper and non-toxic eco paints.

The growth of an eco conscious generation means there is a growing market for luxurious eco homes, along with eco beds, eco chairs and other items of eco furniture which are attractive, comfortable and environmentally friendly.

Cashmere Poncho by Plum Trading

Plum Trading’s Cashmere poncho is the ultimate necessity for every woman’s wardrobe!

This was Plum Trading’s first ‘baby’ and has exceeded our expectations. It can be worn in multiple ways; as a poncho, belted, as a scarf, as a wrap, as a snood are just a few examples. Be warned, once you have one you will want more!

Simply the most versatile and stylish piece of cashmere you will ever own. Looks fantastic over jeans or wrapped around the most formal dress and is vital for travelling, or simply looking chic on the school run. Brilliant for those who have trouble with buttons and perfect maternity wear for expectant mum’s. Very flattering over a pregnancy bump and a comfortable clothing choice for baby feeds.

If you are finding it difficult to choose between blonde and taupe, taupe is a good neutral that looks good on blondes and brunettes alike and is good for all seasons while blonde is more summery looking and is better with fair or auburn hair.

One size fits all. Hand wash & dry flat

Marquee Hire – FAQ’s

How many guests can I accommodate in a marquee?
What type of event are you holding?  Work out the number of guests, whether they will be seated or standing. Then you possibly need to add on space for dance floors, stages, reception areas. As a general rule of thumb you need 8 sq ft minimum per person for a standing event, 15 sq ft per person minimum if they are seated. Our advisors will be able to inform you of the size marquee you need.

Power supply
Our marquees do not need any extra power requirements unless you are providing catering or having a band etc. We can normally run our cables 50m to the nearest power supply. Otherwise we would need to supply you with a generator.

Responsibility For Memorials

Responsibility of your memorial is yours and not the cemetery or churchyard management. The maintenance of your memorials is for you to take care of and if they become dilapidated or unsafe is your responsibility.  Please remember that if the memorial becomes unsafe then certain steps may be taken to lay it down or remove it.

It is therefore wise to arrange for it to be regularly maintained – and insured. The Memorial Group offers maintenance schemes that include cleaning and checking.  So contact Memorial Group now to discuss the upkeep of your memorials.
