Interior Design Trends : Green Living
For many people decorating their home or a room in their house is something they undertake on a regular basis. If you are thinking about remodeling a room
in your home maybe now is the time to start thinking about
how you can go about it in a greener way.
There are paints that are available that do not have any chemicals in them, which in turn means that this is safer for the environment and yourself as well. And if you are looking to replace flooring, then you seriously might want to consider using cork. Cork is a very versatile medium and can be colored to fit in with the overall design and the color scheme of your room. I love this blue floor in the boy's bedroom.
If you are in the market for furniture that is made from wood, try and make sure that the wood came from a sustainable source, which in turn will have much less of an environmental impact. It is also a good idea to visit shops that sell second hand furniture and other household items. This kind of recycling is very good for the environment, and the other benefit is that they cost substantially less than buying new. These Regency chairs were purchased on ebay.
Another excellent way of finding things you want is by doing a search on the Internet. If you are looking for second hand curtains, do a quick search online for ready made curtains at a very reasonable price.
Check out Curtain Wizard for a superb range of ready made curtains,
lined and unlined, in a stunning range of colors and patterns
to suit all styles of homes beautifully.

Beautiful Living Rooms
A living room needs to be "lived in" and this room definitely shows that casual feel with an elegant design. I want some of those poufs for my room... and isn't the apple green wall color striking against the crisp white wainscoting?
