How to adorn your home with sustainable products

Did you know that by choosing to purchase goods that are sustainable, you could reduce your carbon emissions? When we think about all the elements that go into creating home products, whether it be furniture or decorative items, there is a lot to consider.

For one, you have to think about the manufacturing process and all the energy and costs that go into it. Then we have to factor in transportation and how travel contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. We also need to consider the amount of waste that is created when new items are made.

When we take all these factors into consideration, it’s easy to see why so many people are choosing to buy sustainable and upcycled products for their home.

Not only are you getting a product that used to have a totally different purpose, but you’re helping to make the world a better place by reducing waste, improving energy efficiency and helping to protect the earth’s resources.

So, how can we do this?

Well when we talk about reducing carbon emissions, a great way to choose products that help us do this is by shopping local and buying from the UK. Small independent sellers are often more environmentally friendly when compared to large global sellers, so going local not only supports struggling businesses but helps us to reduce our footprint.

Another simple way to check if you’re doing your bit is by checking the labels of the products. You’ll want to see FSC-certified wood, for example, which tells you that the wood had been sourced from a responsibly managed forest.
