Ecofabulous Wallcoverings

Posted by Jessica Jensen

Our dear friends over at ecofabulous find the MOST amazing stuff. Just like they say– they’re all about sustainable. sexy. stuff.  We love looking through their blog postings and finding all the latest and greatest in eco-minded design. (And we admit we want to snuggle with their owl logo. Whooo wouldn’t?)

So we were not at all surprised to find that they were blogging about several outstanding green wallpaper makers– and their designs made us drool with eco-envy. We had to share them with you.

The fab first find is wallpaper from Judit Gueth.  Her intricate, intriguing designs will wow and delight you. She prints digitally on paper that contains 50 percent less synethic fiber than traditional wallpaper and decompose at twice the rate of conventional, digitally printed wallpaper. Naturally no VOCs will be found to pollute your indoor air.

Their second discovery is wallcoverings from Graham & Brown. They produce rich, gorgeous wallpaper all on FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified papers– so you know the forests have been sustainably managed. To see them is to love them. And they use green manufacturing practices: they use recycled rainwater and a state-of-the-art drainage system to reduce harmful runoff.  They also use non-acidic inks & coatings which are more friendly to the environment.  Check them out.

Another one we’re excited about is Mod Green Pod. Mod Green Pod returns to an elegant tradition of artisan quality hand silk-screened wallpapers– all without using any nasty vinyl. They use water-based inks in their silkscreening process. Their designs are fanciful and would liven up any room!

Keep the green gold comin’, ecofabulous!
