Eco-Friendly Interior Design From the Red Hot and Green Team

Here is the great ideas to Creating a sustainably in a healthy space that’s good for you and great for the environment. The Red Hot and Green design team of Carter Oosterhouse and Nicole Facciuto think they have what it takes to achieve the goals. The Red Hot and Green design team have completed the interior design renovation in every space of this house while staying eco-friendly. Please take a look..!

Eco friendly Old World Romance Bedroom

The bed has been rearranged to now be the focal point of the room. It makes a dramatic and bold statement with the four posters, made out of reclaimed wood by Carter. Reclaimed dressers flank the bed, and the concept of a modern French room is grounded in reclaimed curtains from the penthouse suite of a local hotel. The print on the fabric of the curtains is continued on accent pillows and cushions atop the benches at the end of the bed to tie the new look together nicely.

Eco-friendly Modernly Rustic Kitchen

The dramatic, new faux-stone backsplash gives the kitchen a natural, earthy feel. More counter space is added with a bamboo peninsula, and a new faucet tops it off. Additional cabinets are brought in to match the old ones that stayed in the space, and all are freshened up with crisp new hardware. Carter redoes the floor in an eco-friendly cork material for the finishing touch.

Eco-friendly Modern Oasis Style Bathroom

Fresh paint in contrasting shades of brown, red and white give the space a more current look. Instead of sending all that old tile to the landfill, Carter re-faces it with stunning new eco-friendly surfaces that have a slight sparkle. New, low-flow fixtures and a bamboo floor complete the transformation.

Eco-friendly Hip and Zen Dining Room

The rich chocolate-brown dining table is repositioned to create a better flow throughout the room and now has enough chairs surrounding it to seat eight. In the lower wall niche, (at right) Carter built a buffet table out of bamboo shoots that doubles as a display shelf and serving piece. The 24-foot-high wall of windows is covered with floor-to-ceiling curtains, which give the room much-needed texture. A repurposed chandelier is put in place of the old one and raised much higher to emphasize those great high ceilings. Finally, the old carpet is gone, and in its place is a painted-concrete floor covered in several repurposed doormats.

Eco-friendly Multifunctional Living Area

Now there is plenty of room to work, play and relax. Carter put in two desks (not pictured), one each for the mother and son of the house, which create a nice flow throughout the front of the room. Nicole treated the French door so the light isn’t so bright when Mom works, and the existing bookshelves got a fresh coat of paint and are now actually used for storage.

Eco-friendly Dual Purpose Gathering Space

Carter built a stage (behind the chairs on the cream-colored wall) for the young girls of the house to practice and put on performances. When not used for entertaining, this area doubles as a place to study. All it takes is a simple rearranging of the new chairs. Extra touches, like the musical notes painted on the wall with nontoxic paint and hemp curtains that provide a splash of color, finish off the design.

Eco-friendly Reorganized and Repurposed Office Room

There are now desks in each corner of the room for Mom, Dad and the kids. The dark paint (nontoxic, of course) adds much-needed color to the space and will hide nicks and stains well. At left is a repurposed TV armoire that is flanked with storage cabinets to create one piece. On the back side of it is a brand-new living space, complete with a linen sleeper sofa, fresh lighting and an entire wall of storage for the kids’ art, DVDs and guest needs.

Eco-friendly Cozy Serene Bedroom Sanctuary

An eco-friendly wall veneer in rich chocolate brown replaces the rough wood. The padded green headboard and fresh cream-colored bedding create a calm, soothing atmosphere. New wall sconces and carpet complete the look.

Eco-friendly Cheerful Sunny Kitchen

Nicole and Carter ripped out all the dark-wood cabinetry and flooring and started fresh with this room. The new cabinet layout is much more open and makes the room seem larger. The crisp white paint brightens up the room considerably, and energy-efficient, stainless appliances, modern lighting, new flooring and recycled-glass countertops give the space a sleek look. The bamboo butcher block creates a focal point in the center of the island, which is both a prep space and an eating/homework area.

Eco-friendly Beautifully Sustainable Master Bath

The Red Hot and Green team breathed vibrant new life into this space. The new vanity and tub face-out was crafted with Forest Stewardship Council (www.fscus.org) — harvested wood and backed by earth-friendly vinyl siding that adds great texture. Natural stone sinks sit atop the vanity, and beneath it is a mini wine refrigerator and coffee maker, for an added touch of luxury. The walls are now covered with a natural clay product, and the carpeted floor has been replaced with sustainable cork flooring.

Eco-friendly Multifunctional Garage Gateway

The soft new colors and textures work together to create a harmonious place that the adults and children can all enjoy. The materials used in transforming this garage — the natural-fiber flooring and hemp bean bags, for example — are healthy for children and easy on the environment.

Eco-friendly Chic Cabana

Check out the Hendersons’ new backyard pad. A fresh new coat of paint, new bamboo awning and furniture from recycled plastic transform this space into a laid-back tropical getaway. Off the patio is a series of composite decks that lead up to an amazing lounge featuring two outdoor couches covered in eco-friendly fabrics and a reclaimed metal firepit.
