Award-winning interior designer reveals practical trade secrets to creating green and sustainable interiors.  Would you not want to learn from her?  Common!!!

As Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz started driving hybrids and Al Gore came out with his much acclaimed An Inconvenient Truth, product manufacturers everywhere started claiming they were going green. But going green is no longer a trend; the green movement is here to stay.  As more Americans look for ways to reduce their carbon footprint many find that looking home is the natural place to start becoming more environmentally friendly, or green.  How do you design and craft green interiors?  Is it difficult to make the change?  With all the product choices flooding the marketplace, how do you choose the right ones?  Is designing green too expensive? In Green Interior Design award-winning interior designer Lori Dennis offers her trade secrets in an easy to read style, providing hard to find and practical information for anyone wishing to create green and sustainable interiors. 

This easy-to-use manual includes every aspect of residential interior design—furniture and accessories, window treatments, fabrics, surface materials, appliances and plumbing fixtures, plants, and more—discussed from a green perspective in terms of reducing waste, avoiding pollution, and protecting the occupant’s health.

“When you’re sick and running out of resources, it makes sense to return to healthy approaches and conservation. Everyone has heard about being green and millions of people are trying it out to see if it works for them,” observes Dennis.  “I like to think of a time in the near future when we don’t need to specify ‘green’ anymore. Things will just be made with consideration for the environment and our health as common practice.”

In Green Interior Design a special focus is given to bedrooms and living rooms where occupants spend most of their time, and landscaping and landscape maintenance are scrutinized from a green vantage point.  The book concludes with interviews from a number of leading designers and architects who incorporate environmental and health concerns in their projects along with sample images of their favorite rooms.  Readers will also be inspired by the eco-friendly and accessible  resources and vendors who practice green behavior and business strategies.  Dennis also shares checklists (such as green criteria) to help readers develop successful, sustainable projects.
