Many of us nowadays are making conscious efforts to try and live more sustainably, and this extends to the way we choose to decorate our homes. The good news is that sustainable options are now more widely available than ever before, and they come in a variety of styles that suit any and all interior preferences. You don't have to compromise on style to be eco-friendly these days!

In fact, some of the sustainable pieces available on the market today are so charming and sophisticated that you won't be able to resist them. So, if you're interested in incorporating sustainability into your home decor, you've come to the right place. We’ve got a few tips, suggestions and ideas to share.

Invest in reclaimed furniture

Our first tip is to invest in reclaimed furniture, which is a great way to make your home more sustainable. Not only are you giving new life to old materials, but you're also reducing the demand for new materials and preventing unnecessary waste from ending up in landfills. Plus, reclaimed furniture often has a unique and exciting history that can add bags of character to your home and certainly leaves you with a story to tell.

If you're looking to add some reclaimed charm to your living space with a few extraordinary pieces, the Bluebone brand is a perfect choice. The Kleo collection takes old boat wood and transforms it into beautiful contemporary furniture suited for both indoor and outdoor use. The Bluebone Kleo Bar is a perfect example. This bar is visually stunning, fashioned from reclaimed boatwood and curved metal panels, creating a rustic feel, and better still, it's made from recycled materials. The same goes for many of the stunning pieces in the Ruston collection, like the Ruston Narrow Sideboard, Ruston Round Dining Table and Ruston Small TV Unit.

So, if you want to give your space a modern edge while adding in a bit of sustainability for good measure, you can't go wrong with these unique and stunning collections.

Get in to vintage

Another great way to decorate your home sustainably is by looking for vintage pieces and going thrift shopping for furniture. It can also be a fun way to spend a day out at the weekend! By opting for second-hand items, you can add a unique character and history to your space that comes with the age and time of your carefully selected pieces, which you don't really get with brand-new furniture. Buying used furniture and decor is often more affordable than purchasing brand-new items, and you already have the guarantee that they're going to last! So, not only are you doing your part to help the environment, but you might also be able to save some money while creating a stylish, curated home.

Go green with plants

Finally, plants are royalty in the sustainable decor world - and everybody loves a good plant, don't they? By choosing them as part of your home decor, you're making an eco-friendly and sustainable choice that doesn't contribute to the depletion of any natural resources. Your plants will act as natural air purifiers and help improve the air quality inside your home, earning their spot on your windowsill. What's more, they're a fantastic way to add a soothing touch of nature to your home and create a calming and relaxing atmosphere to come back to after a long day. With so many different plants to choose from in all shapes, sizes and colours, you’re sure to find a few that suit the style of your home to a tee!

 

All in all, when it comes to sustainable decor, it's important to think about what pieces in your home don't need to be brand new and start from there. A few little swaps can make a massive difference when trying to be more environmentally friendly. After that, it's all about personal taste.
