Eco Friendly Home Decor Ideas

 

Are you tired of your decor? Maybe your furniture isn’t contemporary enough for your taste. Or perhaps your once-trendy, heavily-patterned curtains feel stale. But you lean toward the sustainable side of things—you’re a stand-up human, too—so you won’t chuck your old decor for new stuff without a bit of eco-guilt. You’d like to find eco friendly home decor ideas, even, but you don’t know where to look.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 9 million tons of furniture end up in landfills every year. Poorer quality furniture is more likely to get tossed.

Furniture is an awful lot like fashion. The sustainable stuff—the stuff you want to keep for decades—is expensive. The cheap stuff is trendy. It doesn’t stand the test of time, either, due to poor materials and shoddy craftsmanship.

What’s an environmentally-conscious home dweller to do? On this week’s show I’m offering 5 cheap eco friendly home decorating ideas to refresh your space in ways that are affordable, stylish, and sustainable (without relying on Ikea or Wayfair).

Enjoy!

Bored with your furniture? Tired of those no-longer-trendy Ikea curtains? Don't rely on Wayfair or Ikea to update your space! If you're eco-friendly, ditching perfectly-fine decor for new stuff ushers in a hefty dose of eco-guilt. Here are 5 ways to refresh your space the sustainable way.
