Sustainable Ways to Furnish Your HomeIf you're moving into your first apartment, or upgrading to a larger home, you may want to be eco-conscious when purchasing furnishings. After all, it takes a lot of "stuff" to make a home livable, and you don't want to contribute to the earth's degradation as you prepare your personal nest. Let's face it, the most eco-conscious way to do that is with used furniture. That will keep it from the landfill for as long as you like, and you'll know you had no hand in causing it to be manufactured in the first place. Another tip is to only get what you need. Not every room requires a piece of furniture in every corner. Minimalism itself is a statement for sustainability. But if you want new furniture that reflects your own style, there are sustainable options. New materials are being made that are tough, long-lasting, natural, recyclable, and eventually biodegradable. There's always wood, but bamboo, soy, hemp, and other natural materials are renewable in far less time.

Feeling Positively Green With Envy Over These Bold Emerald Colored WallsMany of us shy away from bold colors. We instead lean into shades of whites, blacks, and grays. Kate Arbuthnott Interiors, based in the United Kingdom, however isn't afraid to be adventurous. Just take a look at this striking emerald green room they are creating.The emerald green adds an unexpected amount of brightness to the room. The contrast is striking against the beautiful white millwork. A darker shade would have made the room feel dated, but this particular hue feels fresh and almost whimsical.While we may not all have the ability to live in such an architecturally beautiful abode in Scotland, this image does remind us of one thing. It emphasizes that it is okay to play with color. The picture nudges us to remember that paint is such a simple way to liven up and personalize a space.     #Scotland #interiordesign #boldcolors #emerald #green #UnitedKingdom
