Sustainable decoration
For an environmentally conscious home with style
A beautiful tablecloth, a cosy cushion or a soft rug can immediately make your living room appear in a completely different light. It's the right decoration that makes your house your home. Whether consciously or unconsciously, your personal style always flows into your interior design and also shows your visitors your very own personal touch. In order to decorate not only cosily but also responsibly, it is extremely important to address the issue of sustainability. Sustainable decoration not only looks chic, it also does something good for our environment.
Responsible furnishing
Fortunately, our society is becoming increasingly aware of how serious the issues of sustainability and climate protection are. The effects of climate change range from forest fires and loss of biodiversity to health consequences and make it abundantly clear that we need to act now! It is therefore becoming increasingly important for many people to change their own lifestyle for the sake of the environment. But how can sustainability be implemented in different areas of life?
In fact, it's not that difficult when it comes to decoration. When you look at our sustainable Boho cushions, you will hardly believe that they are made from recycled plastic bottles - but that's exactly what they are! Contrary to all preconceptions, there is also a large selection of beautiful items for your four walls that are in no way inferior to conventional home decor. But before you rush out to buy lots of sustainable decorations, we'd like to give you a few tips.
How do you recognise sustainable decoration?
1. The material
As a general rule, recyclable base materials almost automatically make your decorations more sustainable than disposable plastic items. So take a close look at the material before you put a decorative item in your shopping basket. If possible, opt for natural materials such as wood, organic cotton or recycled fabrics. High quality and good workmanship ensure the longevity of the product so that you can enjoy your sustainable home decoration for a long time.
2. Production and distribution
Your sustainable decorations can still leave a large carbon footprint if they have to be flown halfway around the world to end up in your living room. The method of production and distribution is therefore also an important factor in the search for sustainable decorative items. It's best to find out more and check the transparency of the respective companies.
3. Design
Sustainable decoration doesn't have to be boring. Nevertheless, you should ensure that your home accessories have a certain timelessness when buying them, as they should fit into your home permanently and not just follow a short-lived trend. Short-lived trends and eye-catching colours encourage you to buy new products every year or even more often - which is obviously not particularly sustainable.
4. Functionality
Good decoration not only looks great, but in the best case also fulfils a function. Seat cushions, tablecloths or rugs not only bring cosiness and a great atmosphere to your living room, but also fulfil their purpose. A combination of aesthetics and functionality makes your decoration a sustainable home accessory that you can use for a long time.
Acting responsibly and with an eye to the future
Our earth is the only home we have. To protect it, we need to take responsibility for ourselves and our carbon footprint. You can take a first step in the right direction by buying sustainable products for your home.
Sustainable decorations made from recyclable materials are a good way to conserve our planet's resources. It is more durable and therefore needs to be bought new much less often. However, conserving resources also means using them more consciously. A small repair is often enough to remove the hole in the cushion or the stain on the table runner. High-quality, sustainable decorations are often more expensive to buy, but they last longer and prevent you from buying a fifth tablecloth this year. The rule is: less is more!
Sustainable decoration as a gift for friends and family
Gifts are very personal and bring the most joy when they come from the heart. But giving a gift is even more fun if you can do it with a clear conscience. Sustainable home accessories should therefore be at the top of your list of ideas.
Sustainable decoration is the ideal gift idea to do something good for friends and family. Is your best friend a frostbite? She's sure to be especially happy about a cosy Herringbone blanket! A table runner with French stripes is just the right choice for your mum-in-law. And even your dog doesn't have to go home empty-handed: He can take a nap on the 'Mia' dog cushion after a romp.
If you give sustainable decorative items as gifts, you can be sure that your loved ones will use them for a long time. In addition to great home accessories, the best gift is ultimately a piece of sustainability.
