Home Modern Design

Recent trends have indicated that the world is actually turning green, referring to the environmental revolution that has invaded features of the most ubiquitous products we use on a daily basis. Nowadays, it is not uncommon for manufacturers to produce eco-friendly versions of their standard line of products in the hopes of capturing the growing number of environmentally conscious buyers. What used to be the traditional domain of activists has now invaded the modern home.
Given the surge of popularity these eco-friendly products have come to enjoy for the past few years, it is not surprising for the interior design industry to catch on and produce designs that suit the specific preferences of its discerning buyers. If you are just beginning to catch on to this trend and would want to go "green" by decorating your home through similar products, then read ahead! This article introduces three categories of eco-friendly design pieces: furniture, flooring, and wall accents such as wood wall art.

Furniture:
For a piece of furniture to be considered green, it has to be recycled, repurposed, or made of any type of material which is considered sustainable. With rising costs, more and more people have mastered the art of repurposing their old furniture pieces and transforming these into new ones with brand new functions. For example, an old stool topped with a sheet of thick glass can be converted into a side table. An old dining room hutch can be given a new coat of paint and transformed into a book shelf. Old nesting benches, dinner tables, cabinets--the possibilities are endless!! Repurposing allows you to recycle your old stuff and save money in the process.
