Kara Cox -- Home Accents Today, 8/1/2006

ILLUSTRATIONS BY JOAN BALDWIN

Contemporary design takes a turn toward the environment with eco-friendly design and a strong dose of nature-inspired pieces. Renewable resources from bamboo to recycled teak and even bedding woven from flax fuse modern concepts with natural materials. A neutral color palette is enhanced with touches of earthy green and blue inspired by grass and sky. Handmade pottery and rough-hewn wood keep the look organic and native with little added embellishment for a raw, modern mix.
