Eco-Friendly Design Pieces For The Modern Home
Recent trends have indicated that the world is actually turning green, referring to the environmental revolution that has invaded features of the most ubiquitous products we use on a daily basis. In order to lure in eco-conscious buyers, more and more manufacturers are supplementing their standard product lines with choices that are more environmentally friendly. What was once only the traditional domain of activists has now invaded the contemporary home. It is not surprising to see that the interior design industry has paid close attention to the wild popularity that these eco-friendly products have come to enjoy over the past few years, and that they are now offering a diversity of designs for green buyers. If you are just beginning to catch on to this trend and would want to go “green” by decorating your home through similar products, then read ahead! In this article, three areas of design pieces for the modern interior will be looked at: furniture, flooring, and wall accents like wood wall art.
Earth Friendly Furniture. For a piece of furniture to be considered green, it has to be recycled, repurposed, or made of any type of material which is considered sustainable. With rising costs, more and more people have mastered the art of repurposing their old furniture pieces and transforming these into new ones with brand new functions. For example, an old stool crowned with a sheet of glass can be transformed into an unique side table. An old dining room hutch can be given a new coat of paint and transformed into a book shelf. The possibilities are endless: old nesting benches, tables, and cabinetry are all great items for this purpose!! Repurposing allows you recycle items you no longer need, while saving money and keeping “stuff” out of the already overburdened landfill.
Wall Accents. As earlier noted, a product must be made from sustainable materials in order to be considered green. An example of green material is certified wood produced from trees that have been grown from sustainably managed forests. Wood palm tree wall art that is made from renewable wood provide the perfect design solution for those looking to create a natural feel in the home. Used as tropical wall hangings, these works of art can certainly give your home a natural, easy-going vibe.
Renewable Flooring. Bamboo, wood and natural cork are among the renewable materials that are used when homeowners look to get on the green bandwagon with earth friendly tiles and flooring material. Bamboo is one of the most popular eco-friendly materials because it can be rapidly renewed. It has the ability to be harvested after only five years following planting, and is normally hardier than most hardwoods and more resistant to moisture and changes in temperature. Other than bamboo, an additional popular flooring choice is Eco-timber, which is also crafted from certified wood species. Cork flooring options are masterfully created from the waste products of producing wine corks. They are ideal for homes with children because these are warm and soft on the feet compared with traditional wood floors. Mold and fire resistance is also an advantage of cork floors.
