3 sustainable swaps that instantly elevate your home and reduce waste
1. For furniture, choose solid timber, not flat-pack fillers.
Well made wooden furniture can be repaired, refinished and lived with for years, rather than replaced every time tastes change or a flat pack panel gives up. For more budget friendly options, marketplaces and charity shops are always worth a look.
2. Go natural with your textiles.
Linen, wool and organic cotton feel better to live with, age beautifully and avoid the microplastics that come with synthetics.
3. Mix in second hand or vintage pieces.
They bring character, tell a story and stop perfectly good furniture ending up in landfill. Win win.
