12 Beautiful Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Home Decor and Goods
Nowadays we’re seeing a lot more companies promoting a sustainable or eco-friendly aspect of their business. From clothing giant H&M to the designer watches at Nordgreen. Eco-friendly and sustainable home decor is also on the increase with companies like Ikea aiming to increase their eco-friendly collections for the future.
Our home space is constantly giving us messages in some way or another. It affects our well being and general mood just by how tidy it is or isn’t.
What’s in our homes matters.
Which why biophilic interiors and sustainability in interior design are becoming increasingly important.
Shopping sustainable can be another minefield in itself. With more than just the actual products to look in to. What about the company’s processes? How much energy it takes to make the item? What are the shipping costs and what’s the material for the packaging made from? Who are the people who make the items? Are they being paid a fair wage for their work?
There can be a lot to look in to!
With online shopping on the increase even more there’s only so much sustainability you can achieve of course but it’s a start. If you’re looking to do buy sustainable the right way then buying local is the best way!
Here are my favourites for eco-friendly and sustainable items for your home.
