Even after more than a year of writing about greening the home, it is still difficult to find manufacturers who are making eco-friendly curtain panels or drapes. Custom window treatments are easier, but if you’re looking for ready-to-hang options, they are few and far between. That becomes painfully obvious if you take a look at my relatively small curtains category. So when I find curtains that are A) made of recycled materials and B) modern and stylish, I’m thrilled! These Radiant rod pocket curtain panels have both descriptions all sewn up.
They are made of recycled water bottles, which makes me super giddy. But what makes them even more unique is the subtle textured circle pattern that covers the length of the curtain. And to top it all off with a nice big bow, they are available in 7 colors and 4 lengths: 84″, 96″, 108″ and a whopping 120″. If you’re fortunate enough to have ceilings that can accommodate that kind of length, you’d be doing yourself a huge favor by hanging window treatments like these from ceiling to floor for a dramatic look.
Given that my husband and I are getting ready to start looking for an apartment (read: a new space for me to decorate), I’ll have to keep this bookmark close at hand.
Why It’s Green:
- Made of recycled plastic bottles
Price: $49.99-64.99

These are great. I just purchased ECO SILK DUPIONI DRAPERY PANELS
with Certified Organic Cotton Lining in Espresso (40% off) from Antique Drapery Rod Co. (www.antiquedraperyrod.com). I wanted something a little more modern (like these from Overstock), but the ones I got are gorgeous.
