GREENER PASTURES

Luxury fixtures now combine technology and design while keeping the planet safe.

A look at intelligent faucets that are sensitised to the environment

Who doesn’t love a hot bath? At the end of a long, hard day, there are a few greater joys and comforts than slipping into a bubbling shower and letting the water wash away your pains— mental and physical. Or how about that habit of keeping the warm water running while you wash your face or shave each morning. All this feels great but it’s also terribly wasteful. Showers by themselves consume twice more water than the old- school bucket bath. Faucets don’t let you see the temperature of the water coming out so in the end you waste several minutes ( and litres) adjusting the hot and cold taps. In order to change that, companies now offer eco- friendly products that reduce your impact on the environment without compromising on the luxury aspect of a great bathroom. Here’s how to completely enjoy style and a clean conscience.
