It’s never been easier to find eco-friendly products. If you want to do your bit for the planet and you are planning to redecorate your home, make sure you choose these green alternatives to help you significantly reduce your carbon footprint.

Eco-friendly materials

Incorporate elements that are eco-friendly in themselves. This is an effective way to consciously put sustainability and green design forward. Buy materials that have gone through the least processing and that have a positive impact on the environment. For example, you can opt for eco-friendly paint for your walls.

Reuse waste materials

The intention here is to make use of buildings and other materials that get dumped mindlessly onto landfills. They remain intact degrading the environment. So instead of letting it be useless, find a creative way of using these to make textured feature walls, or repurpose them to be used as furniture or aesthetic elements of art. Colourful glass bottles can be reused as lighting fixtures to hold the lamps, for instance.

Decorate with plants

Plants cannot only add to the aesthetics of the space, but it comes with a set of functional benefits as well. Bringing in more plants directly means bringing in more oxygen to your living space and reducing the CO2 build-up. Today you have the option to hang the plant or fix them up on a wall, which increases the aesthetic aspect without compromising the functionality.

Energy savings with the lights

Replacing your lighting fixtures with LEDs can be another way of incorporating green home interior creation ideas. You can add in openings to maximise this and practice the art of drawing your drapes every single morning. That will let in ample amount of light everywhere as well as provide the needed cross-ventilation. LED lights in the form of a statement edgy light fixture can make the space stand out, while string lights can bring in a subtle and fun vibe to the space.
