Where to Find Eco-Friendly Home Decor
Being eco- or environmentally-friendly is an incredibly common lifestyle choice in this day and age. It influences everything you do in your life, from how you take care of your pets or your garden to the things you buy. And that’s only the beginning. In fact, a recent study by IBM and the National Retail Federation discovered that almost 70% of consumers in North America consider it important that a brand is sustainable or eco-friendly.
Speaking of the things you buy, one way a lot of individuals live a more eco-friendly life is by only purchasing things from companies that echo their values. It can be hard to figure out where to look to find the things you want, however, so we did the work for you! You can find a collection of different online retailers where you can shop for eco-friendly home decor below.
Bedding and Linens
Parachute
Parachute is another company that primarily offers artisan-manufactured bedding and linens. An additional benefit to shopping at Parachute is that they do community outreach through the United Nations Foundation.
Furniture
Crate + Barrel
If you'd prefer to stick with a company that you already have brand name recognition with, Crate & Barrel is a good option. Note that not all of the furniture they offer is considered "eco-friendly", but they have a specific "eco-friendly furniture" section on their website that you can browse.
The Inside
The Inside is a company that gives you the ability to create customizable, true-to-your-style furniture pieces. Because everything they offer is made-to-order, their business model is more sustainable than most. There's no waste when there's no unused stock lying in a warehouse somewhere.
