Decorate with Green Awareness

• Eco-friendly Furniture
• Nurturing Shades

I grew up watching the Muppets on TV and always thought “it’s not easy being green.” But with eco-awareness on most of our minds these days, it’s easy to be green…at least it is at home.

Eco-friendly Furniture

It’s getting easier every day to be green as more environmentally-friendly décor alternatives pop up in the home-product arena. Stylish, eco-friendly furnishings are being introduced at all consumer levels, allowing us to go green room by room.

• Look for case goods (coffee tables, end tables, headboards and dining furniture) made from reclaimed woods, glass, and renewable resources such as bamboo and rattan.
• Inside a sexy new chair or sofa, expect soy-based foams
• Look for interior construction materials which include recycled wire and steel.
• Finishes are available in formaldehyde-free lacquers and VOC-free (volatile organic compounds) glues.

Take your Colour Clues from Nature

All this thinking green is literally turning our thoughts green as designers are seeing a lot more green interiors, literally!

Nurturing Shades

With the social consciousness that is attached to the colour green and its longstanding nurturing effect on the human body, this hue is the perfect choice to colour the walls and use in upholstery, bedding, and area carpets.
