Most people spend much of their time at home relaxing in the living room, and, of course, sleeping in the bedroom. Why not make your top hangouts the greenest rooms in the house? Here are some tips to go eco-friendly in the living room and bedroom:

Get sustainable wood floors

We all know hardwood floors are a huge selling point. So why not add value by also making sure your wood floor was sustainably harvested? Using sustainable wood flooring is a great way to spruce up your home and be environmentally responsible at the same time.

Bamboo flooring looks the most like hardwood and can be stained in many colors. The plant is grown inexpensively and grows faster than harvest demands, which makes it perfectly sustainable.

Cork flooring is another option. It's made from the leftovers at bottle-stopping factories. It can be incredibly long-lasting and is a natural insulator. It's not the most aesthetically pleasing floor type, but it would be great for a kid's bedroom or playroom.
