Today, I’m focusing on how to liven up your walls. So far I have given you some pretty sensible advice on how to decorate your home in a more eco-friendly and economical way. To mix it up a bit, I’ve decided to make this post part practical, part whimsical.
Firstly, here’s an article on the Inhabitat blog about the elements of environmentally-friendly wallpaper. They highlight Mod Green Pod wallpaper, a line that is very bright, bold, and colorful—which I love!
Here’s a great website for the everyday decorator. Velocity offers not only eco-friendly wallpaper, but also many other types of eco-friendly wall décor, including flat prints, stretched canvases, wall decals, wall hangings, and wall panels.
For those of you who are a bit more adventurous, check out this crazy idea. Think you are living "green"? Well, the architecture and design group Nendo Studio in Japan made a house that is literally green. The Moss House located in Tokyo features moss on the interior walls shaped into a pattern that looks like a modern wallpaper. The pictures of the home are amazing.
Want art that is also functional? Take a look at Mark Kinsley’s amazing graphic wall shelving. Half wall mural, half shelving unit, this guy’s invention blows me away. Form plus function… what’s more green than doing double-duty?
If I stuck moss on my wall it would be a disaster. The bookshelves are really neat, though. I could imagine that being a great touch in a tight space like a loft apartment.
