1 eco as a lifestyle
In the original, eco-design implies not only the use of eco-friendly materials, but their disposal and recycling. Now Eco style is a much broader concept, which includes not only finishing and furniture made of natural materials, but also the rest of the interior, including lighting, minor decor items and other parts, as well as the use of etholonic products into everyday life.

3 Orientation Orientation
Choose furniture with smooth lines borrowed from nature and made only from natural materials. It is still very important to think about the lighting: it is better to make several scenarios that give the opportunity to change the atmosphere depending on the time of day, classes and mood.

5 Greens as an important object
The best way to dilute calm shades is to add a natural greenery, and the more, the better. Recently, phytosnes are becoming popular, allowing not only to add natural brightness, but also to revive the interior. Vertical landscaping will require careful care, but will definitely take a look and will not leave anyone indifferent. Additional plus - plants perfectly clean the air indoors.

6 Environmentally friendly materials
First of all, it is, of course, a tree, and it is worth using not only as a massive furniture, but also in the finish. For walls in the main premises of eco-interiors, it is possible to use wallpaper from natural natural materials, and to contact a natural stone in the bathroom.

7 Natural decor
The feeling of communication with nature will create accessories from natural materials. Decor objects in the form of branches, trees, clay or glass vases. To revive such a vessel, you can smash a small garden of succulents in it - it turns out a real art object.

8 Agmency lighting
Eco-style does not imply traditional bulk chandeliers who attract excessive attention to themselves. The best option in this case is the built-in lighting, as the light in the eco-interior is intended to advantageously emphasize the elements of finishing and furniture.

9 Organic Gardening
If you are ready to use greens not only as a decor element, go to environmentally friendly products, that is, grow them in our own garden or garden. You can split the garden not only on traditional beds, but also on the wall of the city apartment or on the roof of the garage. And, of course, can be used for these purposes a balcony, loggia and just a wide windowsill.

10 rational use of resources
Everything is more complicated here. Solar panels as an alternative source of electricity are beautiful in theory and in foreign interior projects, in countries where there is a lot of sun. Alas, in the conditions of our climate, they will effectively work only a few months a year. The rest of the time you will have to connect a gas or electric generator one way or another. It remains at least rationally use available resources.

11 Sorting garbage
Even in the most common urban yards began to appear garbage containers, divided into categories for different types of garbage. There is no special difficulty to purchase several buckets and for your own kitchen: separately for garbage in the processing and ordinary household.
