Description
Lori Dennis' desire to be part of the solution to waste and pollution in the interior design and construction fields led her to write this easy to use manual for anyone wishing to create green interiors. Every aspect of residential interior design--furniture and accessories, window treatments, fabrics, surface materials, appliances and plumbing fixtures, plants, and more--is discussed from a green perspective in terms of both avoiding pollution and protecting the occupants' health. Green building criteria are elaborated and special focus is given to bedrooms where occupants spend most of their time and are most at risk. Landscaping and landscape maintenance are scrutinized from a green vantage point. The book concludes with interviews with a number of leading designers and architects who incorporate environmental and health concerns in their projects. Lori Dennis shares checklists (such as for green criteria) and sources for materials to help readers build successful, sustainable practices.
