Westfield Bloom Kitchen

If there is one thing about going green as far as interior design in homes are concerned, it goes more than simply buying eco-friendly materials. Designing any place of your home would include making it safe and keeping it clean. There are a lot of people who have already taken the initiative and one of the notable green designs would have to be the interior design concept of the Westfield Bloom Kitchen designed by Shari Stein.

According to Stein, eco-friendly rooms tend to use fewer materials, and whatever is used is more environmentally sustainable. This is especially important since a lot of waste ends up in a landfill after a home or apartment is renovated, she said.

Green interior design can also produce health benefits, Stein said, adding that she researches manufacturers and tries to avoid carpeting, wallpaper and paint that contain or emit toxins.

She also tries to use materials that are produced closer to home. “If you’re getting an exotic wood from Africa, they would take more embodied energy to bring it here,” she said. “You want to find things that are local to the area.”
