Eco-friendly or Green Design New Jersey

As part of the worldwide fight to combat climate change, eco design has become a fully developed movement within the realm of interior design. It is more than just recycling, reducing energy use and reusing products and materials. Eco design can be used to generate stylish spaces that work in harmony with the surrounding natural environment.

The principle may be quite simple; however, balancing costs, functionality and design style can be daunting. Fortunately, we now have an expanding amount of available “green” products so that even the smallest changes can make a big difference in improving the environmental friendliness of your home.

Here are some steps you can take towards achieving better and greener living spaces:

Look for products and furnishings that come from sustainable forest wood which is both durable and has low-toxicity

Choose low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) paints

Buy local and vintage furnishings

Replace light bulbs and look for energy efficient lighting systems

Create an efficient recycling centre in your home

Reuse and reinvent furniture and accessories

Use steam and biodegradable, homemade or natural products for cleaning

Reduce your energy consumption

When it comes to construction, renovation, design and decor, I always strive to create spaces that flow with one another and with the property as a whole. My vision and practice of eco design also considers the connection between the home and the surrounding environment. Functionality and comfort can be achieved by using the right combination of different materials that fit within the “green” framework. In this way, eco design can embrace the principle of economic, social and ecological sustainability without sacrificing style.
