These are the essential do’s at a glance:

Choosing energy efficient window coverings to reduce energy costs such as Roller Shades, Thermal Blinds or Honey Comb shades.
Painting with Low VOC Paint (Volatile Organic Compounds), to reduce toxic fume exposure.

Opting for sustainable and natural wood furniture such Alder, Rattan, Bamboo, Wicker and switching to Bio Foam cushion and seat fillers instead of regular foam. Palecek is a leading source in San Francisco.

Getting 100% wool filled mattress or soy bean base mattresses.
Favoring lead free glass top end and coffee tables, and lead free table and floor lamp.

Last but not least, bringing the outdoors in, with plants and trees to not only complement the décor, but to purify the air.
