Earth-Friendly Glamour

When most of us hear the words "eco", "earth-friendly", "green", etc., a certain style and aesthetic tends to come to mind. As more and more companies, however, are recognizing the need for a change towards sustainability, eco-friendly decor has become more diverse, encompassing several different styles beyond what we've come to associate it with. I recently spent some time hunting for pieces that were created with an earth consciousness and that could be integrated into glamorous rooms. Here's what my little hunt yielded:
