This week we are taking the eco-friendly living to the next
level. Furniture ideas that aims to bring your home and lifestyle to a complete
ecological responsible. The "organic" designation doesn’t exist in
the furniture category in the same way it's used in labeling food and clothing.The first step is
to start out with what’s out there in eco-friendly furniture,
décor and furnishings, from organic fabrics and fills to certified ecologically
harvested wood, bamboo, nontoxic finishes, fair trade, local, artisan-crafted or reclaimed
finds.
Vintage and antique furniture are two of the most eco-friendly
choices you can choose for furnishing a home. There’s no hard and fast
distinction for when furniture becomes vintage; to some people anything that’s
old is vintage. Vintage is very in now-a-days the old is the new new!! I believe
the items need to be at least 20 years old to be considered vintage. Refinishing
or restoring antiques is also a great choice, but usually best left to the
experts. Another great idea is buying
from local source; it works as well with furniture as it does with organic food. For great quality and affordable
price I would suggest kijiji.com. Call it salvage-chic or dumpster-chic.
Creatively reusing or reimagining everyday objects into completely different
things is a great way to come up with furniture and accessories that are truly
one-of-a-kind items.
Best of luck my eco-friends on living a greener lifestyle.
