How to create a kitchen space that doesn’t cost the earth!
Now more than ever, sustainability is an important topic of conversation. Small changes in the kitchen can play a considerable part in reducing carbon footprint and creating a kitchen space that doesn’t cost the planet.
Magnet has shared its expert advice on how to sustain an eco-friendly kitchen that you will enjoy all the more knowing you’re doing your part.
Use energy saving light bulbs
Swap to energy saving light bulbs for an energy efficient option and help to reduce carbon footprint in the home. Energy saving light bulbs last up to 12 times as long as traditional bulbs and overall use less electricity.
Making the switch to eco-saving lighting within your kitchen design will not only be kinder to the environment but will also decrease your energy bills, while still creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Have a separate recycling space
When designing your kitchen, think about creating a separate area dedicated to recycling. Make separating your recyclable materials part of your evening kitchen routine to avoid the job feeling like a chore at the end of the week.

Upcycling
Upcycling not only adds personality and flair to a space, it’s also a fun activity that can be done with the family. Mason glass jars are great for using as storage in your home – simply wash them out once you’ve finished with them and use them for storing small items.
Alternatively add artificial flowers and battery-operated fairy lights to an empty Kilner jar to create a striking centrepiece for the dining table. Avoid using single-use plastics where possible and use food storage containers made from natural materials such as bamboo.
Invest in a kitchen that is built to last
For those in the market for a new kitchen entirely, a sustainable kitchen design that is built to last is the ultimate way to get a ‘green kitchen’. Consider Magnet’s new kitchen concept, Nordic Nature, which uses wood that is responsibly sourced and manufactured using 100% renewable electricity. Timber waste from the manufacturing process is either repurposed, recycled or reused to heat the manufacturing site.
Inspired by the Nordic woods, valleys, mountains and fjords, the Magnet Nordic Nature kitchen truly taps into our human need to connect with nature.
Through technology, innovation, and purposeful design, Magnet are proud to be leading the sustainability charge. Because a Magnet kitchen isn’t sustainable by chance. It’s sustainable by design.
