Decorating With Bamboo

Submitted by neillisa
Wed, 8 Jul 2009

In recent years, bamboo has evolved from a humble building material to a stylish piece that\'s a must-have for every home. It\'s not hard to see why: it\'s cheap and eco-friendly, and it gives you the same look and feel as wood without the hefty price tag. And thanks to modern manufacturing, you can now find bamboo in just about any home accessory. Whether you\'re going for a classic, modern, or Asian home, you can\'t go wrong with a bit of bamboo décor.

If you\'re starting from scratch, you may want to consider getting bamboo flooring. Bamboo floors look and feel just like hardwood, but because it\'s lighter, it\'s a lot easier to work with. That means you can pay less for installation and focus on keeping it in shape, usually by regular resealing. When properly maintained, a bamboo floor can last just as long as its more expensive counterparts.

Bamboo furniture is also a great way to incorporate green décor into your home. They come in a wide range of forms, from light wicker or rattan chairs to heavy-duty benches suitable for outdoor use. Not all of them are of comparable quality, but those that meet quality standards are sure to last several years. Look for those that are properly sealed and treated, and make sure to keep them in a dry, low-traffic area.

For the kitchen, bamboo countertops are one of the most popular choices. They look and function just like real wood counters, but since they\'re treated, they\'re also more hard-wearing and easier to maintain. And they\'re also much cheaper-you can get a bamboo counter for about a third of the price of oak or maple. This works well for Asian or country kitchens, as the natural wood color goes well with the rustic, old-school theme.

If you\'re looking for something cheaper, try bamboo area rugs. Rugs make excellent home accessories because they\'re light, movable, and come in virtually every color and design. Bamboo rugs are among the cheapest yet most durable in the market. If you\'re more into wool or cotton, you can try bamboo shag rugs-these are made from a mix of bamboo and cotton fibers for that soft, comfortable feel.
