Tips for applying green furniture to living spaces
1. Pay attention to the material
When choosing
furniture, you need to give preference to products made from environmentally
friendly materials.
One of the most
eco-friendly and easy-to-use products is wood. However, to protect the natural
environment, you can choose industrial wood instead of natural wood. Industrial
wood is derived from natural wood but is used and recycled from the waste, low
value of natural wood to form other wood materials. Using industrial timber
will significantly reduce the exploitation of natural forests and increase the
afforestation area. This wood is also very good quality and can serve many different purposes.
Besides, using
recycled materials is also one of the environmental protection measures.

2. Recycle and use
When designing
interior styles, we can completely protect the environment by renewing old
furniture to turn them into unique decorative items of our own.
Many creative cafes
and restaurants have designed environmentally friendly interiors by using tires
to make tables and chairs and using plastic bottles to make beautiful and new
flower arrangements.
3. Prioritize multi-purpose furniture
Besides caring about
materials, you can protect the environment by limiting waste and using
multi-purpose furniture.
Instead of having to
decorate the interior with a lot of junk, multi-purpose furniture will help
make the house more spacious, use more convenient furniture, and save money when shopping.
4. Use energy-saving electronics
5. Create a healthy living space
Decorating the space
with green plants and flower pots plays a very important role in creating fresh
and cool air for the house. Especially with each type of green tree, it also
has its feng shui meaning, suitable for each homeowner, bringing fortune and
luck.
6. Limit traditional designs
Currently, classical
designs are no longer suitable for environmental protection, so families tend
to prefer open spaces and use more diverse building materials. Traditional
windows and brick walls make the living space darker and narrower. Instead, it
is possible to use fabric walls and a large window that will catch the light
and catch the natural wind, helping the human spirit to be more refreshed and relieved.
7. Use durable furniture
Using good and
durable furniture not only saves costs but also contributes to environmental
protection.
