2010 Idea Home: Smart Ideas for Eco-Friendly Decorating

We redesigned the Museum of Science and Industry's green Smart Home in Chicago. Step inside for ideas to make your home greener, whether you're building, remodeling or decorating.

Responsible style

Idea Home: In the living room, a driftwood lamp, a wool rug, a fireplace that runs on denatured alcohol, and art highlighting threatened prairie grasses create a clean and natural effect. The fact that the furniture is made in the USA from sustainable wood, recycled steel, soy-base cushions and organic fabrics means this room is kind to nature and a reflection of its beauty.

Your home: Even small steps, such as noting the materials used in a home-decorating item, help you make eco-friendly choices. Our jazzy throw pillows are made from recycled scraps of cotton.
