[edit] 'Good Housekeeping' the Ecofriendly Home

Teaches you how to create a place that is good for yourself and more importantly, ecologically sound and environmentally friendly.

Natural Style guides you through your house looking first at every single room and then at each of the ingredients: the floors, the walls, the ceiling, the fixtures and fittings and the soft furnishings. It teaches you how to make every element less destructive, conserving the natural resources and style and using environmentally friendly and long-lasting materials. For example, whilst the bathroom should be practical, it should also be a place of calm. However, in many homes the bathroom is often a combination of pastel-shaded fibreglass appliances, vinyl floor coverings, lights with washed-out tungsten bulbs and whirring extractor fans - practical, possibly, but hardly calming, inspiring or eco-friendly. Discover how to create a supportive and more eco-friendly bathroom which needn't entail expensive renovations - often something as simple as giving the walls a few coats of water-resistant paint will transform the room and make it a healthier environment to be in. The book encourages you to reduce the amount of resources that you use, reuse spoilt goods and recycle. Each basic home product and material will be described in terms of its ecological and environmental value and how to use each one in this way. Other topics such as heating and ventilation are covered and more creative ideas on decorating to create a relaxing setting.
