Earth Friendly

If people who lived before the eighteenth century were to magically come back to life to observe how Nature has been ravaged by modern humanity, they would either weep and pull their hair out or laugh themselves to death again. Fortunately, many new companies of any kind are producing and selling eco-friendly merchandise of all types, anything from clothing, carpeting, cars, cookies, and construction materials. Products made from hemp are all over the place, including new-fangled milk. Even some big corporations, notorious for polluting our planet, are beginning to wake up, even though they’re still half asleep. One of the nice things about the Internet is that it’s educating people all over the world about the travesties of unconscious commerce. It’s bringing people together to have a global voice, and one way that we can express ourselves with this bigger and louder voice is to be selective about the things we purchase. Sometimes, that can communicate our values more powerfully than voting in elections. Goes ask Trump.

Built-In Decor

Many eco-friendly furnishings come with imaginative deigns, some of which are based on Italian and Japanese influences. Many of these products, by their very nature, add a sense of beauty and Decor, without any sophisticated interior design to surround them or enhance them. You can take a Japanese-style platform bed and place it in a broken-down barn with a dirt floor, and the space would still look pretty, and if you like that rustic look, then it becomes lovely. However, when you do surround a handsome platform bed with Asian artwork on the walls, glass lamps on the nightstands, and colorful carpets on the floor, the bedroom becomes transformed.

Price Friendly

High quality furniture will usually cost a little more in general, but when you’re talking about eco-friendly products made from non-toxic, natural materials, the life-span of well-made furniture is so long, it will out-live you and possibly your descendants. The solid-wood platform beds, dressers and dining-room tables made today, by skilled artisans and gifted designers, may not have the exquisite, intricate, hand-carved patterns of antiques, but they will last just as long, unless they get damaged accidentally, and they cost a lot less than antiques. Some companies also sell sturdy, attractive environmentally friendly furniture with simple designs for affordable prices. Also, every company eventually has a clearance sale or sells discounted furniture that is slightly damaged in areas that are hard to see or can be disguised or covered with something pretty, like a table-cloth.
