Eco Friendly Decorating Ideas for your Living Room

welcome to the first day of 31 days of eco-friendly decorating ideas!! 

I will start by sharing ideas to reuse and repurpose items that you can incorporate in your everyday living room and entry way decor.

Use a tall bucket as a umbrella holder

Create a coat hanger by adding old knobs to a plank of wood:


Repurpose old crates as an entry way storage unit


Add architecture detail to your walls with old doors


Repurpose and old door into a bookcase

Make a coffee table from an old window


Make art for your living room by covering shoe boxes lids with fabric


Add a top to an old wired basket to create a side table


These are just some examples, the main idea is to rethink every item we have before throwing it away, use items from thrift stores and/or  items found on the side of the street.

old window turned coffee table, knobs coat rack, box lid art, crate storage, old door walls.
