Using environmental paints is a great way to decorate your rooms. Not only does it give you a wide array of color to choose from but also ensures that Volatile Organic Compounds that are commonly found in regular paints are kept to a minimum. The low level of VOCs in environmental paints ensures that the paints will be odorless and that there are no health risks when you use them.
However, using environmental paint colors is not the only thing that you can do. Here are other design tips to help you create an environmentally safe look:
Environmentally safe floors
Using bamboo as flooring is one of the emerging trends this year. Bamboo gives you an environmentally safe flooring option for your warm interiors that is not only beautiful but also long lasting.
Also, do not forget to look for the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certificates when you plan to buy hardwood for your flooring. The FSC ensures that the means by which they harvest the wood is sustainable.
Environmentally safe accessories and furniture
Recycling furniture is the best way to help in the drive to conserve our environment. You can buy ready made recycled furniture and you can also recycle old furniture yourself. Also, buying antique pieces will help reduce the amount of waste that we produce.
Help in preserving Mother Nature by using these techniques to minimize waste. Find a way to incorporate environmentally safe designs in your homes and do not forget to use environmental paints.
