If you are planning to re-decorate or renovate this spring, here are five sustainable tips.
- Conventional wallpaper often contains PVC. Look for papers made from renewable resources like pulp from bamboo. Check out these wall flats by Inhabitliving.
- Use recyclable carpet tiles so that you are not replacing the entire room when certain parts are stained.
- Use safe sealant on your particle board furniture to help keep the toxins from off-gassing.
- Look for furniture made from reclaimed materials.
- Invest in quality furniture that will last a long time. Furthermore, choose a line that is made with zero VOC finishes, low-impact dyes, and FSC certified wood. Buy an heirloom that can be handed down to generations to come. There is nothing more sustainable than using antique and vintage.
