No matter what your personal design style is, you can use the principles of green decorating to create a more eco-friendly home. Here are a few types for green decorating from HGTV designer Linda Woodrum:
Shop Locally – Look for products that are manufactured near your home. You’ll be supporting the local economy and the items you buy will have required less energy for transport.
Keep the Air Clean – Pay attention to cleaning products and paint — avoid toxic fumes whenever possible.
Look for Eco-Friendly Home Furnishings – Manufacturers have heard the demand for more eco-friendly furniture and carpets. Look for sustainable woods like bamboo and for carpets made from natural fibers and recycled materials.
