We all love the idea of having a green home, filled with eco-friendly furniture and products. Of course, “stylish” and “trendy” aren’t always the first words that come to mind when thinking of this natural approach. However, each year more and more people are becoming more eco-conscious for our habitat and our future, and luckily Fall 2011 decorating trends are looking a little more green! Here’s our take on this nature-loving trend, and how you can style your home to the look and the lifestyle.
Having an eco-home starts with environmentally friendly furniture! Check out the Niko and Nara collections for style and sustainability! Both are built out of giant bamboo, a trending natural substitute for the classic wood furniture usually purchased. Each collection will give your home a gorgeous modern edge to an otherwise soothing look. This fits in perfectly with a few of the Fall 2011 home decor trends!
Neutral colors are also a great way highlight the eco-friendly look– olives, browns, and tans all give a refreshing, organic feel to the room. Contrasting textures in complementing colors will make the room look pulled together in a less, clean-cut, dry way.
