Wallpaper is the hot topic today!!  More people are using wallpaper to jazz up their walls.  The wallpaper of today is unique, colorful and can change the look of a boring room into an exciting room.  One of my favorite things to do for my clients is to get the white textured wallpaper and put it on the ceiling in a dining room, then add a fantastic paint color to it and you have just created a magnificent ceiling.  The ceiling will be the topic of every dinner conversation in the dining room.  Check out my new article on more tips for adding wallpaper to your home and remember that it comes in organic and Eco-friendly alternatives too!!!

New article on a dangerous toxin in your carpet

I just published another one of my healthy home articles on a particular toxic chemical that is in your carpet.  I am doing a series on carpet and outlining each chemical that the carpet company's do not want you to know about.  As many of you may know, I am an organic interior designer with 12 years of design experience but up until 6 years ago when my father was diagnosed with a rare bladder cancer I had no idea what toxins were used in the textile industry.  Unfortunately my dad had to become ill in order for me to start researching ways to help him fight his cancer and I stumbled onto the toxic chemicals used in the design industry today.  I have made it my mission and my tribute to my father who passed 11 months ago to keep researching  and getting the word out to the public about the toxins and healthier products that are available.  Thankfully I am not alone on this quest and many companies have stepped up to the plate and are offering wonderful interior design products with no harmful toxins.

My article: Chemical styrene in carpet

Fabricut Fabrics which sells drapery and upholstery fabrics now offers many choices that are non-toxic and are back by the Oeko-Tex Standad 100   http://www.fabricut.com/environment_plus.php?id=23

Tip of the day
remove shoes before stepping in your home, this way you are not bringing the outside toxins in!!

Healthy Interior Design Ideas For Your Home

My passion as an interior designer is to let the public know that they have a choice in the products they purchase to design their interiors.  I have written numerous article on hubpages with some great ideas.  http://hubpages.com/profile/dawM

When moving into a new home or redecorating and older home designing  with organic, Eco-friendly and "green" products is now very easy.  For instance many paint companies are offering paint with no VOC's this means that they are non-toxic and have no horrible smell.  http://hubpages.com/hub/Creative-Painting-Ideas-For-The-Home-Using-Paint-With-No-VOCS



You can paint your babies room and feel safe with the fact that the baby will no longer have to breath in the chemicals.  In my article http://hubpages.com/hub/Creating-A-Healthy-Organic-Room-For-Your-New-Baby  I give many tips on how to decorate a new babies room with organic and healthy products.

The other wonderful aspect about designing a healthy home is that many fabric companies that sell drapery fabric and upholstery fabric are now offeing them with no toxins.  When ever you see a label that says confidence in textiles this means that the fabric has been certified and contains no harmful toxins and is pH balanced.

When opting to put in new carpet don't!  read first http://hubpages.com/hub/What-Is-The-Most-Toxic-Part-Of-Your-Home-And-What-To-Do-About-It There are so many wonderful flooring options available on the market!!!

I will keep you posted on all the lastest information to hit the pavement on how to decorate your home using healthy interior design products.
