Are you tired of your decor? Maybe your furniture isn’t contemporary enough for your taste. Or perhaps your once-trendy, heavily-patterned curtains feel stale.
But you lean toward the eco-friendly side of things – you’re a stand-up human, too – so you won’t chuck your old decor for new stuff without a bit of eco-guilt.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 9 million tons of furniture end up in landfills every year. Poorer quality furniture is more likely to get tossed.
Furniture is an awful lot like fashion. The sustainable stuff – the stuff you want to keep for decades – is expensive. The cheap stuff is trendy. It doesn’t stand the test of time, either, due to poor materials + shoddy craftsmanship.
What’s an environmentally-conscious home dweller to do? On this week’s show I’m offering 5 cheap decorating ideas for the home to refresh your space in ways that are affordable, stylish + sustainable (without relying on Ikea or Wayfair).
Enjoy!
