Mid-Mod Bedroom: It’s been a long while since I’ve done a Green Room in a Box, but there’s no time like the present to get started again, right? Today’s room is sponsored by one of my all-time favorite companies for eco-friendly home decor, Amenity. The design is a heavy mix of old and new that meets somewhere in the middle for an eclectic, but sophisticated look.

ABOUT THE SPONSOR

Amenity Home offers a wide array of eco-friendly products for thoughtful modern living. They are dedicated to the never-ending process of maintaining harmony with the environment. For Amenity, simplicity is not a dirty word. Simple can be luxurious, and luxury can be quite simple.

FEATURED PRODUCTS

Muir Platform Bed |  Queen: $1900  |  The Muir Collection is beautifully hand crafted from reclaimed hardwood that has been rescued from local buildings slated for demolition. Low VOC stains, developed especially for Amenity, enhance the beauty and unique characteristics only a vintage wood can embody. Perfect for modern living, this elegant, minimal furniture collection was designed with function in mind. With inspiration from classic modernists such as Paul McCobb and Charles Eames, the line incorporates gracefully curved corners and simple nickel legs.

Fern Duvet Cover, peacock  |  Queen: $330  |  Amenity adds to their collection of nature-inspired bedding this season with the debut of a new, bold design that reflects the excitement of emerging spring. Each limited-edition, large-scale image is printed individually with non-toxic, water-based dyes onto 100% certified, 300-thread count cotton percale that has been organically grown and processed. Duvet covers are printed domestically with non-toxic, water-based dyes and sewn locally in Los Angeles.

9. Organic Basketweave Drape from Pottery Barn   |  96″: $99.99/ea., $299.97 for 3  |  Made of organic cotton  |  I would get 2 in natural and 1 in porcelain blue, to hang the blue drape between the two white ones for a thick, layered effect.

13. Round Jute Rug from Pottery Barn, espresso  |  8′ round: $249  |  Handmade of jute, a rapidly renewable, natural fiber. Imported.

TOTAL COST: $6581.37 |  By no means is this room cheap, and I mean that in the most literal way possible. This is a bedroom full of investment-quality pieces that can, and likely would, last you a lifetime, including a couple of vintage pieces that have already lasted a lifetime of their own.

Green Room in a Box: Mid-Mod Bedroom (sponsored by Amenity)

Back when I first started Green Your Decor, there weren’t very many websites dedicated to selling eco-friendly home furnishings. They existed, but tended to be hard to find or feature only a limited number of items. At the time, green retailer Green Culture was the exception to the rule. There’s a reason I included the retailer on my list of the top 10 online resources for eco-friendly decorating. They have a vast collection of eco-friendly furnishings for every room. For decor addicts like me, it’s easy to spend hours browsing the sites under their umbrella.

Even today, when more and more eco-friendly online retailers are popping up almost daily, their collection is tough to match. For decorators who like the simplicity of being able to shop in one place, Green Culture will make your life a lot easier. You can find everything from coffee tables to chandeliers and everything in between. The other bonus is that you can find decor for every budget, whether you’re pinching pennies like many of us these days or have a little (or lot) of breathing room to buy what you want.

I’ve featured their products before, including the Gorgeous Ibiza  Panel bed, which is still on my wish list for my daughter’s room whenever we move into our own home. On my wish list for today? The Napoli Console Table shown above. The metal mixed with dark wood makes it a dream for me and my living room.
