3 Most Innovative and Sustainable Materials for Your Luxury Home

It’s always a luxury to have the opportunity to build your home from the ground up, but some people take it further by adding the most expensive materials possible. From sandstone, marble, Grenadil, and other expensive materials, the best of the best choose hard-to-get items to make their homes even more special.

Given the current state of the world, however, tastes and preferences are rapidly changing. Fine homes have always made use of natural materials, but the sustainable movement has shed light on another type of luxury—innovation and ethical appeal. 

For this reason, a renaissance of natural materials has been born, with techniques incorporated in new and surprising ways—but with heavy doses of history. Here are some of the best ideas for your new home:

Rammed Earth For More Durable Walls 

When it comes to building your home’s foundation, it can be easy to simply trust in the familiar. However, old doesn’t mean obsolete! Earth construction is still regarded as one of the most durable techniques for structures, and a solid testament to this fact is the Great Wall of China.

If you want a luxury home that stands out, opting for rammed earth is the way to go. As a bonus, your home will resemble walls of sedimentary rock, perfectly encapsulating a brutalist interior that your neighbors simply won’t have. 

Rammed earth walls and floors also allow for better thermal storage, which traps warmth during the day, and slowly releases it for the colder nights. The best part? It’s all low in carbon—making it a sustainable choice for your walls and flooring!

Bamboo For Your Wooden and Rustic Dreams 

If you wish to incorporate rustic into your home, wood is a no brainer. It simply provides an aesthetically pleasing sight, especially when used as counters, beams, and even built-in cabinets. It can be quite easy to simply order the most expensive wood materials around, but if you wish to prioritize sustainability, invest in bamboo. 

Bamboo, despite its grass nature, resembles wood quite well, and it regenerates quickly. It’s essentially one of the fastest-growing plants in the world, making it the perfect choice for your luxury home. Use it for wooden tiles, trimmings, decking, and even lumber!

Quartz For Expensive Countertops

Luxury homes are mostly characterized by marble and granite-clad kitchens, which essentially adds an undeniable touch of elegance, classiness, and durability. While these materials can indeed add a valuable touch, they’re not always as heavy-duty as they seem. Bear in mind that granite and marble are highly porous, meaning that the lack of sealer can get them stained, water damaged, and eventually, mold-infested.

If you wish to play with innovation and yet remain sustainable, quartz is the best choice. It’s just as durable as the current crowd favorites, which can withstand sudden impacts, drops, and other forces. More importantly, however, it contains nonporous properties, making it last for a long time. It also comes in a wide range of styles, making it the perfect choice for your modern and luxury dream kitchen.

The Bottomline

Building your luxury home is an exciting prospect, especially since you have all the freedom to be as creative and innovative as possible. While choosing the most expensive materials will ensure you a durable home, it’s always best to look at the grand scheme of things. In other words, expensive isn’t always better. There’s beauty in investing in innovation and sustainability, and the materials listed above promise you exactly that!
