Bedroom is an ultimate hideaway wherein one can retire after a busy workday. Thus, the interiors of the bedroom should be such that it helps you relax. From classic to romantic, there are many ways to decorate your bedroom. 

One of the interesting ways is to choose eco-friendly interiors for your home. This will help you create a space which is free of harmful chemicals and also appealing to your eyes. Some simple ideas to create an eco-friendly bedroom are:

Switch to non-toxic paints

Rising environmental consciousness has led to the increased demand for low-VOC paints and finishes. These paints use water as a carrier instead of petroleum-based solvents. Even natural paints that are made out of natural raw ingredients such as water, plant oils and resins,  natural minerals such as clay, chalk and talcum; milk casein, bees' wax, natural latex, earth and mineral dyes are other alternatives for paints.

Eco-friendly flooring

Other way to create an eco-friendly bedroom is to choose bamboo, reclaimed wood, leather flooring, cork and glass tiles for your bedroom. Also, these flooring options such as rugs made of wool, natural fibers (sisal and jute) or organic cotton helps improving the air quality and easing asthma pangs.

Also, the positioning of doors and windows in the right manner ensures right air movement.  This will further help you in saving your electricity bills.

Go for organic bedding

Bedding made out of cotton, jute, soy and silk makes it an organic bedding. Such kind of bedding is good for sensitive skin, especially for new born babies.

Switch to energy efficient lighting
