If our desire is to have a more environmentally friendly home, an interesting option is ecological decoration. In this sense, we must think about reusing or recycling elements that we already have available at home, always preferring the use of less polluting materials or that are related to nature, such as plant elements.
Natural creativity
You have to open the door of creativity to find use for natural materials, such as wood or clay elements, with which to create a less artificial environment and closer to nature.
The organic decoration is focused on the use of elements or materials pre-existing home, for which we must strive to find the proper use for all material is already at home. We may have to touch up them or apply some preliminary preparation work, such as sanding, painting or minor repairs aimed at leaving these materials ready to be reused, but it is not very complex.

Whenever possible, we will prefer the use of decorative elements that are made with materials from nature, such as wood, leather and plant fibers, the palm is an excellent alternative.
Minimal impact
An interesting aspect in relation to ecological decoration is the impact of the elements or materials used in our decoration on the planet and its biodiversity.
