Showcase your Unique Eco Friendly Interior Styling

December 7, 2017

Going green these days is huge. Environmentally friendly, healthy design trends are one of the hottest...if not the very hottest...trends around. In addition to being lovely to look at, the trendiest green designs have been engineered with careful attention to the health of your home and family.

Studies have shown that the air inside our homes is often much more polluted than the air outside. As much as we worry about smog and other environmental pollutants, we may be more at risk once we get home than we are when sitting in traffic! The newest design elements, from carpet to paint to furniture, have recognized this disturbing reality and set out to make our homes healthier.

La Fuente's Copper Furniture Collection is created high in the mountains of south-central Mexico, in the village of Villa Escalante, Old World craftsmanship is used to hammer and form recycled copper using methods developed centuries before the Spanish conquerors arrived. The fire is stoked as copper wire and tubing is recycled by being melted into ingots, allowed to cool, then repeatedly heated red-hot and hammered in rapid harmony by skilled coppersmiths using hammer and anvil. The copper is gradually flattened into the proper size and shape. This incredibly labor-intensive process is proudly practiced only by the artisans in Villa Escalante.

Another popular decorating trend is the use of natural fabrics. Our Zapotec, Southwest and Nepalese textiles are created by hand using many natural materials to reduce your impact on the environment, and add a light and airy look to any room in your home.

Painting is one of the very easiest ways to change the appearance of your living space, giving a room a facelift in less than a day. Whether you tackle the job yourself or invest in professional expertise, a fresh coat of paint can give your home new life at a very low relative cost.

Color is very personal, and you should never follow trends that you don't love. After all, you must live with these colors every day! However, some of the hottest current painting trends are truly stunning, and offer inspiration for every taste and budget.

Whatever your unique eco-style, make sure you showcase it at home!
