As you enter the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center at Oaks for the Philly Home + Garden Show from January 15-17, you’ll pass
through our 1,600 square foot model home that’s both smart and green. Powered
by XFINITY® and built by Rudloff
Custom Builders, it was designed by Deanna Lorenti of Deanna’s Interior Designs in
Horsham, Pennsylvania.
From LED lighting to induction cooktops to
designing with reclaimed wood, there are many easy ways to reduce the
environmental impact of your home.
“People are more conscious of where things come
from,” Lorenti says. “I’m seeing more of my clients thinking about how their
design choices impact the environment.”
As you’re checking out the eat-in kitchen, living room, master suite and outdoor living space, take note of the many environmentally friendly features Deanna has added to the mix.
Hunter
Douglas shades from Avalon Flooring
Deanna: “Automated shades can be programmed to
move during different times of day to let in or block out sun, which can reduce
your heating or cooling costs.”
Dining table from Stable Tables
Deanna: “Using furniture made from reclaimed
wood means that more trees weren’t knocked down in the process. I recommend
using walnut or silver maple.”
LED lighting from Bright Light
Deanna: “Not only do LED lights use 90 percent
less electricity, but they give your room a cooler look in which colors appear
truer.”
Deanna: “What’s greener than material made from
rocks?”
Coretec Luxury vinyl flooring from Avalon Flooring
Deanna: “This product offers the look and feel
of hard wood floors without negatively impacting our forests.”
Induction stove from Kieffer’s Appliances
Deanna: “This technology reduces the amount of
heat lost during the cooking process, meaning your food is done quicker and
more efficiently.”
The Philly Home + Garden Show takes over the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center at Oak from January 15-17, 2016.
