Earth Day is April 22, and it acts as a helpful reminder to think in a more eco-friendly way when shopping and decorating our homes.

In some cases, being a friend of the environment might mean not buying that new piece of furniture and instead, loving what you’ve got for longer. Alternatively, there are plenty of items available that are made in local cooperatives and made with sustainable materials like bamboo and recycled glass.

By shopping eco-friendly, you’re sending a message to manufacturers and retailers that you care about the environment and are willing to look for items that do the Earth good. Here, 7 beautiful eco-friendly décor finds that will look right at home in your home.

1. Tinta Porcelain Dinner Plate

Inject some colour into your tablesetting with these beautiful plates. Not only do we love the bright blue abstract print that will add an artistic flair to your table, but we also love how eco-friendly these plates are. They’re made in Portugal using reclaimed water, recycled scrap materials and natural clay. According to the retailer, “each piece is fired in a kiln, which uses local natural gas. After sourcing the raw materials, mined areas are converted to parks and gardens, which have a positive impact on climate change and the community.”

These beautiful pillow covers are crafted by hand in rural India by a sustainable silk cooperative. Made of both cotton and silk, each cover is hand-embroidered giving it a gorgeous luxe look.
