For Diwali Decorate Your House In Eco Friendly Way

Diwali is the festival of lights. It is one of the auspicious festival in India. And to welcome Goddess Lakshmi every person cleans their house before diwali and try to give a little new look to their house. So, this diwali we have a great idea for you to decorate your house and that too in eco-friendly way-

# Use what you have:

Many times when decorating your home, you already have many of the things you need! Look around to see what you already own and love could be repurposed. Repurposing items saves them from the landfills, cuts down on the need for things like lumber, volatile glues and paints, and recycles them as useful objects.

# Craft smart:

Try to recycle materials when crafting for your home. One of my most popular projects on my website is the brown bag floor. Using recycled brown paper grocery bags, I have papered my floors to look like trendy stained concrete or stone.

# Be choosy about your large purchases:

Most of us at some point have to make larger purchases, such as with new flooring, window treatments or furniture. When the time comes to make the huge investment of replacing your homes flooring, consider that carpeting not only produces formaldehyde gases, it has to be replaced on average every 7 years. However, using a renewable wood floor such as bamboo or cork may be more expensive in the beginning, but will save you money in the long run as you refinish, instead of replace over the years.

# Give:

That’s right, being giving can help our environment. The next time you replace furnishings or decorative items, donate your old pieces to a worthy charity, or put them up on a site such as Freecycle for someone who can really use them. Even broken pieces might be useful to a furniture aficionado, or and appliance genius! Reduce waste in landfills, and help out others at the same time.
