ENVIRO-design

Bonjour! Our task this week was to blog about an aspect of interior design that is eco-friendly. I love doing things green. I love to recycle, and am interested in doing anything I can to reduce the amount of waste I consume. If I were to design a home, I would be very interested in making a green home. I like to watch the show "Canada's Greenest Homes," they have some funky environmentally friendly ideas on designing your home. Sometimes, people compromise the design aspect and the looks of their home to have it be environmentally friendly. One aspect I am very interested in is the idea of using "GREEN" flooring. I have seen, and heard of people using bamboo flooring in their home. It is becoming very commun for people to use bamboo flooring. Not only does it look gorgeous, but does not impact the environment, unlike using lamenate or hardwood. Normal trees (hardwood flooring) take hundreds of years to grow, before people are able to use them for flooring, but unlike normal hardwood, Bamboo takes only months to grow fully. It is not an endangered plant, so it is safe to use it. Bamboo is also easy to clean, and is very practical to have for a floor in your home. -BellaCooper



Personally, I thought that this sample was really nice.

It is different and funky, and I think it would be a nice accent to a modern space (:





I think this is a really nice option if you are looking for something a little more classic, or a little more subtle.
I really like the colour, it is dark enough, but also is not too dark (:
