Installing eco-friendly water fixtures in your home is not only environmentally responsible, it’s financially savvy, too. Low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators, which can cut water consumption and heating costs by more than half, utilize high pressure and aeration to produce a comfortable flow of water that feels nearly identical to that of standard fixtures. And, baths designed with multiple showerheads use even more water and energy than a single standard fixture, so installing low-flow fixtures in these spaces can be especially helpful.
WaterSense – a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) partnership program that promotes water efficiency and water-efficient products, programs and practices – recommends specific fixtures for their earth-friendly aspects. According to the EPA, if one of of every 10 homes in the U.S. upgraded to WaterSense labeled fixtures, more than 120 billion gallons of water and more than $800 million could be saved annually. In addition, simply installing WaterSense labeled bathroom sink faucets could save the average household more than 500 gallons of water each year.
WaterSense labeled fixtures are available in a variety of styles and brands, so it’s easy to find eco-chic fixtures that match your home’s style and décor. Visit a local kitchen and bath firm today to learn more about low-flow fixtures, as well as more ways to improve your home’s green appeal.

With countless new styles and innovations in its design, wallpaper is making a beautiful comeback. According to the Wallcoverings Association, several factors have contributed to its rebirth, including advances in digital technology and the availability of eco-friendly choices.
A movement away from minimalist interiors has allowed homeowners to explore color and texture on their walls for a more decorative, visually interesting look. Wallpaper is one of the best (and easiest!) ways to spruce up a room and give it an entirely different look. Make a design statement with these new cool, fresh patterns that are sure to revitalize your spaces.

Advances in digital imaging and printing have introduced a new perspective into the traditional field of wallcoverings, bringing new life to the designs that are available today. In addition, many new wallpapers are made with 100 percent natural fibers and low- or no-VOC, water-based inks, so they are as earth-friendly as they are lovely. York Wallcoverings’ CLD Pure Collection features breathable, mold-resistant and non-woven varieties and are created with natural fibers that are harvested from managed forests and synthetic fibers used in tea bags and coffee filters.

A variety of wallpaper collections by York® Wallcoverings, including those shown above, are available at Frank Patton Interiors, 13133 Manchester Rd., 314-965-4240, www.frankpattoninteriors.com.
