ECO FRIENDLY INTERIOR

 ECO FRIENDLY INTERIOR


1. Use plants as decorations

This is a no-brainer. Plants provide oxygen, and filter out harmful chemicals from the air. Plus, they offer a natural beauty, ambience and freshness, bringing a little of the outside into your home. Think: mint or pine’s refreshing scent, or any number of flowers’ lovely fragrances. Lilies, bamboo palm or gerbera daisies especially do wonders in improving air quality.




2.Avoid decorating products with VOC content

Volatile organic compounds (VOC) are organic chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature. They can be found in many common household products including paints, adhesives, household cleaning products, air fresheners, even furniture and carpets.




3. Use furniture made from natural materials

Forget chairs and tables made from plastic moulding. To make your home’s interior eco-friendly, you need furniture made from natural wood and other organic or sustainable materials. But not all woods are sustainable: look for wood with the Forest Stewardship Council certification  stamp to ensure you’re not using an endangered species for your furniture.  Bamboo is another suitable option, but better yet: buy antiques and used furniture whenever possible.


Choose natural textiles & finishings

The list of household items that ought to be crafted from natural materials goes beyond furniture. Fashioning pillows, mattresses, upholstery and beddings from wool-stuffed materials, for example, cuts down on the production of synthetic materials that ultimately end up languishing in landfills.
