Eco-friendly "green" design is officially here to stay. From recycled materials to re-purposed furniture to energy efficient light bulbs, the green trend has solidified a place in mainstream design. Here we dissect the trend and show you how to incorporate green décor into your own home.
Innovations in LED lighting have brought to the market some really amazing products. Stunning and modern LED home lighting is energy efficient and can keep monthly energy costs much lower than traditional light bulbs. Whether with a statement LED chandelier or a sleek LED desk lamp, swapping out a traditional fixture for an energy efficient one will bring a modern look to your space, while saving you money and using much less electricity.
Re-purposing vintage furniture and using reclaimed materials in your space is a really cool way to make your décor more eco-friendly. Reupholstering a sofa with great bones can bring a second life and fresh style to your home. Using reclaimed materials such as wood and steel eliminates waste from larger projects and leaves less of a thumbprint on our planet.
Another way to bring eco-friendly “green" design into your space is to eliminate the green! Grass and water reliant plants and landscaping use tons of water and chemicals to stay healthy and alive. Re-landscaping your backyard to include more concrete and drought-resistant plants is one of the “greenest” moves you can make.
