Green Interior Design: The new face

Now a days , everyone is claiming that he is using green design. Anyone who uses wood, claims that he is using green designs. But is not the realty. For instance, a chest of drawers that is made of bamboo can contain added urea formaldehyde and glues and finishes that are relatively high in VOCs. Popularly , every bamboo user claim that he/ she is green. But reality is different.

According an website, "antiques are particularly "green." since everything in them is being reused and they are very unlikely to off-gas harmful chemicals (glues, finishes, etc. only give off VOCs for a certain period of time, and even when antiques are refinished, the materials used are normally less toxic than the finishes in much new furniture). In the room above the bed and washstand are almost 200 years old, an old candlestick has been made into a lamp, and an antique silver creamer serves as a vase."

Although "organic" and "green" are not necessarily synonymous, natural materials often do have fewer harmful additives than artificial ones. Many people have many opinion about the use of carpet. A carpet in the room is 100% wool, and while it might not be appropriate for someone with chemical sensitivities (since the fiber is dyed and probably moth-proofed), it is healthier for indoor air quality than synthetic carpet. The hand-embroidered sheets and pillow cases are made from very fine cotton, and with proper care could last for generations.

Green design is not new . It was there in past. Many were using it.
