Adding "green" to your interior space can be challenging, but it can also be a creative and fun experience. Today, more and more manufacturers are working closely with designers to develop a wide range of options in environmentally friendly materials that are recycled, reclaimed, organic and/or renewable. For every product used in an interior environment, there is usually a greener option that can be used such as eco-friendly paints.
There is a world of color waiting for you when it comes to eco-friendly paints. And the color Green is one of them. In the Chinese art of Feng Shui, Green is the color of renewal, fresh energy and new beginnings. Green is very nourishing to your health, it calms your nerves and balances your whole body by bringing healing Feng Shui vibrations from Nature. When working with Green color in Feng Shui, it is important to have at least several different shades in order to maximize its Feng Shui energy effects.
Many of the most popular names in the paint industry now offer more environmentally safe options. The main concern in paint is the VOC level (Volatile Organic Compounds) found in paints, coatings, and adhesives. VOCs affect the indoor air quality of an environment because they contain toxic substances that can be hazardous to our health.
Although the low-VOC or no-VOC paints may be a bit more expensive, they are well worth the peace of mind. It is refreshing in more ways than one to know that the air you breathe in a newly painted room won't make you sick.
As you can see, there are many ways to be "green" in an interior space, and hopefully we have provided you with one of many ideas that will inspire you to create a space that not only looks good, but is also healthy and eco friendly green interior design.
