Environmentally Friendly Renovations – Green Your Home
If you are thinking about renovating your household furniture, why not consider using environmentally friendly furniture? There are so many places you can go to in person or online to find reclaimed, recycled and environmentally friendly products for the home. Redo your home with a “green” flair instead of buying new.
Reclaimed Furniture
Reclaimed furniture can easily fit into modern living rooms. Do a search locally, or online, for furniture stores that create “new” items from old peices. An example might be a side table made from old barn beam timber. Other ideas may be to re-upholster chair cushions and pillows with organic cotton or recycled fabrics.
Sustainable Furniture
If using recycled furniture isn’t your thing, then you may choose to select contemporary modern furniture that is made with sustainable wood. Wood that is grown specifically for wood base products is not exposed to ecologically unsafe chemicals. Such wood is sustainable AND eco friendly, all the better for your green home. Look for wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), an organization that has developed sustainable standards for forest management and operates programs that verify adherence to them.
Safe Eco Bedroom Products
If you didn’t know already, traditional mattresses are made with petroleum based fill and soaked with toxic fire retardant chemicals. These mattresses exude formaldehyde as they age – a known carcinogen. When thinking about nj bedroom furniture, consider an eco friendly or organic mattress and stop breathing in toxic chemicals every night.
