Ideas for Eco-Friendly Decorating

Interiors Revitalized has made a list of some green decorating ideas that won’t break the bank. Incorporating green decorating, or eco-friendly design ideas, into a home doesn’t need to be an expensive undertaking and it doesn’t mean that everything must be changed at once. The small things came make a big difference!

1. Shop your local Good Will, garage sales and Craigslist. You can find all sorts of treasures that can be re-used and re-purposed. These decorating pieces can easily be refurbished with a simple coat of Non-VOC paint for a brand new look.
2.  Use fabrics containing recycled or organic materials for rugs, linens, and curtains. Fabrics made from sustainable fibers minimizes waste and pesticide use.  Examples of these are:
• Hemp
• Wool
• Jute
• Modal
• Organic Cotton
3.  Use energy efficient lighting. Lighting is an essential element in any decor. The initial cost may be more but in the long run it will save you money because the bulbs last longer and use less energy. They now make these bulbs is a wide variety to go with any mood or need.
4. When you finish that next bottle of wine, save the bottle! These bottles make beautiful vases for fresh flowers as a centerpiece on the kitchen table. Reusing items is not only eco-friendly but it also saves green (money). Check out this news clip for more decorating ideas using bottles.
