5 Cool Home Decoration Ideas

If you are planning for a renovation, here are some of the things that you can take into consideration to maintain a cool environment in your home may it be a condominium or a house. This will also help you to minimize using air-conditioning, for a greener lifestyle.

Porcelain Tiles – Not only hardy but with these days you can get these porcelain tiles in many different designs to suit all kinds of interiors. 
Natural Stone – There are numerous types of beautiful marble, apart from other stone surfaces. Marble has a good thermal conductivity and because of this it dissipates heat quickly to leave it feeling cold.
Dekton Surface – this is a versatile and durable large-format material that can be used for worktops, flooring, and cladding for both interiors and exteriors.

2. Install shade for all freso areas

For statement-making feature walks, there are a lot of them in the market. Green walls can dramatically reduce the temperatures of a building by acting as an insulation layer on the wall surface, protecting from the heat of sun. Another benefit is that it abates sound.
