In Trend: Decorating Apartment in Eco Style

Several years ago, the Scandinavian style was at its peak of popularity, and now it has been replaced by eco. We have compiled a guide for everyone who wants to beautifully decorate their apartment and also selected suitable products from our marketplace.

Choosing Materials for Decoration

Put your bet on natural materials — they can be used partially to stay within budget. For finishing, wood and cork are often used, paper and textile wallpapers, as well as hypoallergenic decorative stucco (which perfectly imitates any materials).

An interesting solution is a plant wall with natural greenery. It is equipped with an automatic watering system, but this does not mean that you don't need to take care of it behind the wall. Once a week, you will have to mist the leaves and occasionally add fertilizers to the soil. However, if you choose a dried flower variant, taking care of them won't be necessary.

And Furniture

Give preference to furniture made from natural materials. Of course, plastic chairs are cheaper than wooden ones, but they are far inferior in quality. Under the influence of natural light, the surface quickly loses its color and gets scratched.

Moreover, according to scientists and ecologists, more than 8 billion tons of plastic have been produced in the world since the middle of the last century (according to NatGeo data from 2017, the figure has since increased). For comparison, the volume of plastic can be equated to a billion elephants or 25,000 Empire State Building structures 373 meters high.

What if not plastic?

Designers prefer to use furniture made from cork and wood in their projects. If you want to achieve a feeling of lightness and airiness in the interior, look at elegant wicker furniture made from rattan — it can also be used on a dacha.

There are also more interesting options: for example, a light woven rope folding screen can help define space without overloading it. If a solid wood table seems too expensive, you can choose a more affordable option — with a wooden top and metal woven base.

Decorating the Interior

Interiors in eco style are usually minimalist — thanks to warm and tactile materials, the setting becomes cozy and without an abundance of details. Vases with flowers or dried flowers, a pair of wicker baskets, cushions and a throw on the sofa — this is more than enough to perfect the interior.

By the way, scientists believe that materials from which objects are made can affect our well-being and mood. Therefore, try to avoid artificial materials that emit harmful vapors and may cause allergies. For example, a carpet can be chosen made from eco-friendly jute or sea grass, and a throw from cotton.

Choosing Lighting

Select lamps so that they naturally fit into the interior and blend with the surrounding environment. Put your bet on simple and clear lines, as well as natural tones.

Textile, paper, and rattan-woven lampshades will add warmth to any interior. The only point is: they require care — it's important to keep dust off the lamps, which is easier to remove immediately.
