Award-winning designer and author Lori Dennis proves interior design can be both stylish and environmentally sustainable in this easy-to-use, entertaining guide. Dennis discusses every aspect of interior design—furniture and accessories, window treatments, fabrics, surface materials, appliances, plants, and more—from a green perspective in terms of reducing waste and pollution and turning a home into a healthy, comfortable environment. Readers will learn how to: - use sustainable materials like bamboo, cork, and recycled glass to enhance interiors - search thrift shops and antique stores for vintage hidden treasures - find the best vendors for purchasing green products - use plants and locally cut flowers to improve indoor air quality and brighten up rooms - replace lawns with indigenous plants and edible gardens - keep rooms clean with effective and nontoxic products - use energy efficient lighting and maximize natural light - apply for different types of green certification. Packed with over 100 color photographs, lists of the best green vendors, and profiles of leading green designers, this book is a thorough guide for anyone who wants to create beautiful interiors while lessening the waste and pollution generated by the building industry.

      Interior designer Dennis provides a wealth of information covering every aspect of interiors--e.g., lighting, floors, plumbing, and even cleaning products--and outlines the available choices with detailed explanations of how each benefits the environment. She includes an overview of sustainable landscaping and new construction, samples of the work of other interior designers, and lists of organizations, products, and manufacturers. Whereas Janet Sobesky's Natural Style is aimed at do-it-yourselfers, Dennis's audience is fellow designers; still, both groups of readers will benefit from the plentiful and practical advice here.
