Bamboo
Bamboo has been part of Asian culture for centuries. Now
bamboo furniture is becoming more popular in the West. This is because
bamboo furniture has a low carbon footprint.
Jacqueline West, a New York City interior designer recently recommended
bamboo furniture to readers of a North Carolina newspaper. She suggests
that people redecorating their home incorporate bamboo into their decor.
Bamboo furniture tends to be less expensive than most hardwoods yet
is quite handsome.
Because bamboo furniture lasts for a long time it prevents landfills
from overflowing with cheap nonbiodegradable furniture. Bamboo furniture
is also anti-microbial and water resistant. In addition, it's easy to
accessorize your furniture with other bamboo items.
