REMODELISTA / THE LOW-IMPACT HOME

REMODELISTA / THE LOW-IMPACT HOME

$99.00

Low-impact living is about making thoughtful, eco-friendly choices in your home. But being sustainable doesn’t have to mean sacrificing style. That’s where Remodelista comes in. 

In this comprehensive guide, Margot Guralnick & Fan Winston decode the secrets to creating a home that’s good for the planet – and totally liveable. First, the team invites readers on in-depth tours of the living quarters of a dozen homeowners who have interpreted this ethos in myriad ways: an Australian architect’s state-of-the-art family home, a rental apartment in Brooklyn outfitted with materials salvaged from the neighbourhood, and even a farmhouse in England made of hemp.

Then they take us room by room to dissect the most impactful swaps we can make for a healthier home, from a gentler laundry routine courtesy of the Celsious sisters to chef David Tanis’s low-tech approach to cooking.

More information can be found in the tabs below.
More Information

There are simply DIY projects to encourage you to reuse and repurpose rather than buy new, plus the 'Vintage 75' – a roundup of everyday household goods that are easy to find used, and are typically better made and more affordable than their brand-new counterparts.

And, of course, there’s remodelling advice for all budgets and scopes: whether you’re looking to choose healthy paint, swap out your rug, upgrade your windows, or overhaul your whole place. It all adds up to an eco-conscious approach that’s about living not only responsibly but also with joy and style.

The ultimate guide to designing an eco-conscious home, from the bestselling and authoritative Remodelista team.

Great Gloves

Good fit. Feel good. Perfect thickness and definitely defend against thorns and sharp edged fronds. Especially good protecting my forearms from getting scratched. Almost look too nice for gardening!

Stylish and practical storage box

I decided to purchase this tool box to store my oil paints - perhaps not the cheapest storage solution - but I wanted something robust that could be locked if needed, with a padlock. I really like the vivid blue colour of the box - it’s a pleasure to use.

Top bread knife

Love this easy-to-slice knife - even makes quick work of the crustiest sourdough

Fab little milk pot!

Such a great price for this wee pot and it was better than I expected. Perfect size for small servings of oats over winter. I chose pick up because I was going to be in the area and it was easy and hassle free. This store has so many beautiful items and customer service is excellent, that’s always a big thing for me. Thankyou Waste Free Home!

Left Handed Bread Knife

When I saw there was a left handed bread knife, I knew I’d found the perfect gift for my mother who is making her own sourdough. She just loved it. Thank you!

WOODEN BREAD KNIFE | ELM WOOD
Bread knife

Game changer! Cuts through homemade bread without squashing it. We even bought an electric knife thinking this would help but even that didn’t work!

Easy cutting, lovely slices of bread and cuts tomatoes beautifully too.

Highly recommend!
