Investing in a new home look? Make it green and glam.
As I transition homes for the first time in six years, I’ve immersed myself in all the exciting eco-friendly possibilities for home décor. While the greenest option is to reuse and refurbish items you already own or to buy used, adding a few new orglamic pieces here and there can be fun too and can assure that you aren’t living alongside furniture made from toxic materials. Luckily, I can incorporate pieces such as the ones below without too guilty of a conscience with their ample serving of “sustainable luxury living.”
1. Plover Organic
If organic bedding connotes boring, drab, khaki to you, Plover Organic will prove you wrong. This eco-focused textile company offers a wide variety of 100% organic cotton sheets, duvets, pillows and even baby crib sets. In addition to being earth-friendly, Plover uses fair labor as well. While any orglamic reader knows I love my blacks and whites (I immediately gravitated toward the Flock print), all the patterns are bold and fun, adding an orglamic punch to a refined abode.
2. Hudson Furniture Inc.
To add a grounding, earthy element to your home, pieces from Hudson Furniture are a great choice. The company’s one-of-a-kind items are made with wood domestically sourced from salvaged or wind/storm damaged trees. In addition to the unique nesting tables, the New York-based company offers dining tables, bed frames, lighting and more. (orglamic hint: The Hudson Signature bed is breathtaking!)
3. CB2
One of my favorite mainstream stores for affordable, modern home furnishings has plenty of eco-friendly items in the mix too. The Branch Mat is made of sliced cross-sections of natural qingke tree branches that would have otherwise ended up in a landfill, while the Edition wall art weaves 75% recycled international newpapers framing a square of 25% recycled painted canvases.
