Redefine What Sustainability Means to You

The way you spend your money can have a ripple effect on your surroundings. Itu2019s not about buying a product from a perceived premium brand. Itu2019s about being conscious and conscientious about what you buy. All it takes is to pause and ask a simple question: is this product aligned to sustainability? Am I aiding sustainable values or am I abetting them?

Having an eco-friendly home du00e9cor doesnu2019t always mean starting over. Itu2019s a matter of making small yet simple decisions about your home to protect the environment. Use brands that are driven by ethical labour standards and fair trade practices.

Use Materials that are Non-toxic

Your paint matters. The next time you decide to paint your walls or your furniture, ensure you choose a paint that is free of VOCs or Volatile Organic Compounds. VOCs are not only harmful to the environment but are also harmful to you and your familyu2019s health.

Plants bring about a renewed life into any space. A few plants such as ferns and palms can not only add to the du00e9cor but also increase oxygen levels in a room. You wonu2019t lose any sleep over potted plants during your vacations either. In-house plants are low maintenance and can live up to 3 weeks without water.

Where to start?

Most of the ones who would have the option to work from home would be those with work focussed on software, consultation, design and digital marketing or promotion. While all of these share a common ground u2013 working on a PC or a Mac, the amount of sheer typing and focus varies. So, letu2019s break it down bit by bit and get to know how you can make the best use of your furniture.

Software development is an intensive process. Even with the myriads of environment and development platforms available with smart code suggestions, peering through lines of code and syntax to find a solution can be frustrating. Most laptops donu2019t come equipped with keyboards that can handle aggressive coding sessions.

If you have an external monitor at home or have a TV with mirroring capability, use it to make your coding much more relaxing. At times, a large block of code can become especially intriguing and interesting at the same time. To avoid backaches, make sure you have proper support for your buttocks and lower spine using a hardwood chair.

Bean bags are good, but unless you want to wake up with painful shoulders and back, avoid those. Remember, you still must work the next day from home and canu2019t take any long walks inside the office compound. Resist from the bed when you are just researching code blocks, thatu2019s going to give you a painful neck.

Make Home Monsoon Ready

Waterproof Walls & Windows

As soon as summer is over, do a round around the house and check for any cracks in the walls. Grab a ladder and go over every little detail of your ceiling before the rain starts to pour. Water can easily seep through the ceiling and ruin furniture like your beds and sofa sets.

You can use lacquer or white cement and seal any cracks in the walls and ceilings to avoid damaging your home interiors. Your water worries donu2019t end there. Water can sometimes enter through your windows even though they are shut. If you notice this happening, you can insulate the windows with a rubber lining to stop the rain from leaking into your home

Avoid Flooding the Floor

Wooden flooring needs extra care during monsoons due to high moisture levels in the atmosphere. Do not polish the floor with varnish as the moisture will prevent it from drying. You can wipe the floor with a dry cloth and spread silica gel across the floor to avoid any swelling in the wood.

Camphor and naphthalene balls are excellent moisture absorbers as well. Expensive carpets and rugs are also important aspects of interior du00e9cor. Roll them up and replace them with quick-drying mats to avoid ruining them. Water is an excellent conductor of electricity and any wiring exposed to rain can prove to be fatal. Unattended wires and uninsulated cords need to be covered immediately to prevent short-circuiting your power supply during monsoons.
