One type of material that will give your bathroom the feel of a spa is bamboo, and all types of products are made with it. While touted as an eco-friendly material, bamboo does have its detractors.

As an educated consumer, you can be sure the bamboo products you buy don’t have a detrimental environmental impact by buying only sustainably-sourced products.

Creating fabrics from bamboo fibers requires a lengthy, chemical heavy process, but it’s still not as bad as non-organic cotton processing.

Floor mats, vanity accessories, wastebaskets, towel racks, drawer organizers, and shelves that use bamboo harvested from sustainable farms is a viable green way to decorate your bathroom, even though most products are still produced overseas.

There are a few US sources that are making bamboo toilet paper, paper towels, and other products using a thermo-mechanical process rather than chemical, which is an even better solution for our luxury green apartments in San Mateo.
