| Looking for some simple ways to go green and save money in your home? Here are some easy eco-friendly decorating ideas that will surely save you money while promoting a healthier environment. 1. Choose décor that is recycled or reused Not all green building material is expensive. By choosing furniture and green building material that is recycled or reused you can pick up some great décor with little expense. Consider shopping at places like Goodwill, thrift stores, the Salvation Army and antique stores. Even garage sales are a great place to find those hidden gems. If you live in the city, consider places like VivaTerra or even Branch Home for some fun and eco-friendly decorating ideas. 2. Add plants to your home While plants are one of the most common eco-friendly decorating ideas, they come at little to no expense. Ferns are one of the best plants available for emitting great things into the atmosphere and taking away all that is bad for us. Go green and save money with plants! 3. Go natural with rugs and carpet Read the labels on the back of area rugs just as you would on the back of your yogurt. By looking for labels with natural fibers and green material you will be able to help the environment. Most carpeting contains formaldehyde, but natural rugs and carpets can be made from recycled materials containing non-toxic dyes. By incorporating a few eco-friendly decorating ideas each month or year, you can gradually convert your home into a green hideaway. Go at your own pace and have fun with it. |
