Eco-chic home decor is all about finding the balance between style and eco-friendly home accessories. With the wide range of green products available, it's easy to decorate your contemporary home in style while reducing your carbon footprint at the same time. Modern bedding collections with green choices like organic duvets and bamboo sheets make it easy to infuse an eco-chic look throughout your home. Here are some ideas to decorate a modern green home.
Eco-Chic Home Accessories
Many home decor stores offer alternative and green products such as modern bedding. Conventional mattresses are produced using chemicals and bedding may contain chemical-based dyes. These bed linens are harmful to you and to the environment. Modern bedding is made sans chemicals, with natural raw materials like organic cotton, wool and bamboo. The advantage of using this green bedding is that it is comfy, safe and stylish.
Modern bedding collections have a wide range of eco-chic bed linens such as duvets. Duvets filled with down and feathers are excellent insulators during winter. These duvets help to reduce energy consumption by keeping you warm and toasty on chilly days. Pair these duvets with sheets made from natural materials such as hemp. Hemp sheets are durable and the fabric is plush and breathable. As there are many green bedding products to choose from, it's easy to make a bed that is stylish as well as environmentally sound.
Recycled and Reclaimed Home Accents
Eco-chic decor focuses on reducing consumption and using recycled and reclaimed materials. If you want to add new furniture or accessories to your home, choose ones that are made from environmentally friendly materials. Eco-chic stores are offering furniture made from reclaimed wood and accessories such as vases made from recycled wood. These green home accents have a definite modern appeal so they are a good fit for your contemporary home.
Do your bit for the environment by repurposing furniture and decorative accessories. Flea markets and online auctions can be an excellent source for one-of-a-kind furniture and accessories. Choose furniture with sleek lines and simple silhouettes so it can be included in your modern home with just a new coat of paint.
