Environmental Benefits of Green Interior Decorating

Using organic throw pillows is a great place to start. By purchasing environmentally-friendly organic throw pillows, you’re choosing a product that is made without the use of chemicals and pesticides that can harm not only the environment, but those who work with the cotton as well. Many of our pillows are stuffed with inserts made from recycled plastic water bottles. More than 2.4 billion pounds of plastic bottles were recycled in 2008, making recycled plastic an abundant resource with so many potential uses. Natural wood furniture is another effortless option for greening your interior design. Made from fast-growing, durable woods that are quick to replenish themselves, sustainable wood tables, stools, and shelves are a beautiful and natural alternative to mass-produced pieces. Many of these are finished with strong chemicals that aren’t safe in the home, whereas our natural wood pieces are finished with natural oils.

Eco-friendly lighting is another great way to green your living space. Use LCD light bulbs instead of regular bulbs. These save energy and will last longer, making them a cost-effective choice. Paint is another important aspect of any interior design project, and unfortunately many paints are not eco friendly or even friendly for your home environment. By choosing eco-friendly paints, you’re keeping chemicals that pollute and can cause health problems out of the environment and out of your home. Green interior design is simple, affordable, and environmentally friendly. By making simple informed choices, you can make your home and lifestyle more sustainable.
