Living green is not always easy, or cheap. From your electric powered car to the organic foods you consume, the price tag starts to increase steadily. However, one way to definitely live greener while still saving money is to approach the interior design of your house in a way that benefits both you and the environment. First Steps for Sustainable Interior Design maps out four easy and rather inexpensive ways to tackle that perfect home interior while staying true to the planet's needs. These four steps include: using sustainable materials and bamboo in replace of wood, treating your walls with chemical free paints and wallpaper, using eco-friendly flooring, and using water efficiently. These four steps are minimal, but make a huge difference over the long lifetime of the interior of your house. They are all relatively inexpensive and easy for green newcomers to navigate and explore.

Sustainable Design concept cannot be boiled down to planning environmentally friendly houses. It is a major part of it, accounting for more than half of the electricity consumed and GHG produced; still it is incomplete without a proper green interior design...After completing these 4 steps you can go on with sustainable furniture. Good news is, as more and more designers tend to have a greener perspective and more eco-friendly products find their way to the market, we no longer need to give up on style in the name of sustainability!
