Eco Friendly Flooring Ideas

Have you thought about eco-friendly flooring? Not sure it has the style you want? 

Today I will showcase several flooring options to change your mind. 

Manufacturers have so many fabulous styles in almost every type of flooring that is earth friendly.

They can be made of recycled materials, low chemicals, sustainable materials and so much more.

But all with style!

Below I show you how beautiful they look in the rooms and then offer many great resources too. 

So, check out these amazing flooring ideas and let me know your favorite.

One of the best flooring choices is bamboo. This material is super sustainable and easy to care for too! Great for kitchens.

I love the look of mixing up the colors in tiles.
This gives an old world feeling to your space.
Just chose your main color and then add in some accent tiles for extra style.

Didn't think you could have soft eco-friendly flooring?
Here you go. Wall to wall carpet can be environmental friendly by using low odor chemicals which help with allergies. You can even get eco-friendly padding for underneath. And they come in commercial grade for businesses too.

Don't forget about area rugs. They can also be environmentally friendly. Like this one from Shaw's EverTouch® recyclable nylon. Stylish and eco-conscious too!

You might have known that cork flooring is very soft underfoot but did you know that it is also anti-microbial? And it is also the most sustainable and non- toxic. 
I would say that is a healthy flooring choice!

Grass Rugs

Nothing says SPRING more than fresh green grass. So I thought I would find a few rooms that could bring that inspiration into your home.

Some of the looks are more modern but others are still very traditional. It is not only the type of material in the rug but also how it is used to create the effect of "grass" in your room.

Check out these really cool ideas to bring spring grass into your space.

This idea is used outdoors but you can use the concept inside as well. 

A great way to add softness to concrete, tile or even wood flooring!

This is truly a way to bring the outdoors in!

I love all the different tones of green used in this bedroom design.

Bringing a real tree in the room helps add to the overall effect plus the really cool "grass looking" rug. 

What an amazing work space below. This will get your creative juices flowing for sure!

You can achieve the rug look by visiting your local carpet store,

choosing a green carpet and have them bind it in a round form. 

And take note of the custom "rock stools".

You can use the same idea as above to "get the rug". But this inspiration is in a children's room. 

I can think of so many themed rooms  to use this rug idea.

How simple yet fabulous is this room?

Just by adding a green rug in this dining room with neutral colors gives you instant outdoor feel. 

Do you want to wake up your closet? 

Here is a wonderful solution....go green and feel like you have transported yourself every morning.

And yes, I know we'd all love to have the closet too!

Are you inspired now? I think this is a fun and whimsical way to freshen up your room.

For not a lot of money, you can create a natural look in your own home.

HAPPY DECORATING!
