How to decorate your house reusing materials you already have?

Decoration projects around the world are using discarded materials to make beautiful rooms; you can also get started with PET bottles, wood and other basic materials

Gone are the times architecture, design and decoration could be thought of without considering sustainability. In the Brazilian city of Santos, the “Encontros Criativos” initiative won the iF Design Awards – one of the most prestigious in the World – for doing just that. Thanks to the program, in a single year, over three tons of wood were recycled to become furniture while helping disenfranchised youths. You can also reuse plastic, glass and wood packaging to start your own sustainable decoration at home. Have a look at our video on the subject.
