I think most people have become aware about the state of our planet and how we can be more sensitive to recycling, reusing and being more eco-friendly. Eco-friendly decor is a new realm of consciousness that can transcend thinking just about bottles and paper.
Eco-friendly decor can mean many things. I chose this living room picture because it displays some classic eco-style elements that are both eclectic and cozy.
Warm, reclaimed wood decor balances beautifully with natural fibers as in the eco-style rug and pillows. The lighting is both metal, which could have come from other metal items like rebar or rods, and ceramic which may have started its life as a jar or pitcher.
Reusing items in a new way is key to embracing this movement in your eco home decor. Simply trading something you have for something somebody else has is another way to create a smaller carbon footprint. Recycled pendants or turning old jackets into pillows...it’s all a small step to making consumption smaller in scale, yet remain stylish.
1. This natural walnut LED wall sconce has a greater life span than the ordinary bulb and has a chic modern look. It’s great for a hallway.
2. I like the playful recycled mirror set of 2 for a teen bedroom or eclectic style hall or bedroom.
3. This reclaimed glass chandelier by Veraluz captures the sophistication of a classic Mid Century pendant with jewel tones that sparkle.
4. I love the Coastal feel of this recycled glass table lamp by Regina Andrew.
5. Looking for a renewable material source for flooring? I would consider this tan bamboo area rug.
6. The exotic and spa like vibe of this teak enhanced LED solar lantern is great for a deck, patio or terrace.
