Give your crib a green makeover – Irvine Real Estate – Irvine Homes and Condos for Sale

When it comes time to redecorate or remodel your home, many people now choose eco-friendly products.

From the paint on the wall to the floor we walk on, there are many options not only good for the environment, but good for your wallet, too.

One way to save energy and decorate your favorite room is by hanging curtains or blinds. They’ll help minimize the heat coming in during the warmer months and the heat escaping your home during the winter months. Many curtains and blinds are also made of non-toxic environmentally sustainable materials.

Another eco-friendly way to remodel your home is to switch to CFL light bulbs. They use less energy and last longer than standard ones.

“They realized how much money they were saving so they started to come in. More and more people are also buying different colored lights and they’re getting dimmable ones,” says Meladie Kolko, Lighting Sales Associate at Home Depot.
