Green Building - Bathroom Design

Today, I thought I would share one of my favourite ways to incorporate recycled materials into designing your bathroom. 


I absolutely love the look of using coloured glass (such as wine bottles) as tiles and using cork (yes, even the cork screws from wine bottles) as flooring in bathrooms (or even kitchens !!!). 


It is a great way to reuse any empty wine bottles and corks you or friends/family have laying around and it adds great punches of colour to your home - Of course providing you have the lucky chance of being able to personally design the interior of your home.


Here are a few pictures I pulled off the internet to demonstrate what I'm talking about:

Beautiful punches of greens look great in bathrooms
or kitchens (via)

Glass can also be sanded and reshaped and you can use
multi-coloured glass to get a chic designer look (via)

Cork flooring can give a very chic yet natural feel (via)

If you live in an apartment like me - how about a wine cork bath mat?
(I've got to try this !!!) (via)

What are some of your favourite green home designs?
