President of Arch-Interiors in Beverly Hills, Christopher Grubb has shared two tips for making eco-conscious home décor choices. Read below to learn more.

Pick the right paint.
One of the best ways to give your home a facelift while not breaking the bank is with a fresh coat of paint. Now you can go green with each stroke of your brush. Most paint companies are jumping on the eco-décor bandwagon with zero-VOC paints that are also odorless. VOC stands for "volatile organic compound," and as the name suggests, they aren’t good for us, or the earth!
Find new uses for old things.
Stop and think before you toss out home accents you’re sick of, or replace an outdated piece of furniture. Why not reupholster a dated chair with a fun, fresh color, repaint an end table that has seen better days, or re-cover a set of drab pillows in a fresh and lively hue? Plant pots can become candleholders, old picture frames can be reused to house mirrors or artwork and an oversize bookshelf can be moved and reused as a functional room divider!
