IN THE LIVING ROOM
Communal spaces in the home get the most use, so that’ s where your sustainable home journey starts. While focusing on how the room can remain sustainable and efficient in all ways, simple and effective practices can contribute to an eco-conscious space. Make mindful choices when it comes to furnishings, choosing recycled materials, long-lasting options and pieces that minimise environmental impact. Eco sofas are on the rise in the interiors world, with brands placing emphasis on recycled fabrics and frames made from sustainable materials. Opt for durable, hard-wearing furniture- think upcycled or antique- and lifelong pieces that will stand the test of time. In addition to mindful purchasing, the living room is the ideal space to bring nature indoors, bridging the gap between the outdoors and indoors while also purifying and dehumidifying the air, so choosing plants that breathe life is the answer.
