Chances are you've thought about decorating green, but one of these stereotypes stopped you. It turns out that believing these myths can be harmful to your health. There is so much in our homes that's not good for us. New home smells are actually toxic; mold inside walls can cause migraines and other health issues; and carpet can off-gas formaldehyde which is known to cause respiratory irritation and even cancer.

But the good news is that we're becoming aware of these things. As we become more aware — and as there are more options out there — it's just a matter of making choices. Choose to decorate with real sustainability in mind — using less energy, less water and less non-renewable resources while still beautifying your home. Green design is affordable, beautiful and here to stay no matter what your style.
