Eco-Friendly Interior - Home Decor Edit
With spring season approaching fast wouldn't you just love a fresh look in the kitchen or bathroom? Before you joyously start spending on the latest releases though, why not be more careful with your home decor choices and see what ethical manufacturers have prepared to suit your style.
RATTAN, IRON AND COTTON
It's no secret that mirrors can work miracles for even the tiniest of home space. If you were to pick just one item for your home this season, make it a mirror framed with sustainable material, like rattan. Rattan is a naturally renewable palm that grows in abundance in tropical parts of Africa and Asia. A win-win situation.
For those who'd rather opt for metal in their redecoration plans, this Lace Skirt Pendant must be mentioned. Crochet pattern crafted from heavy iron is a combination that can take you right to one of the scenes from One Thousand and One Night Stories that takes place within the magical ambience of your home at a simple switch of the lights.
There's something for amateurs of snuggles in the eco-friendly department too. I picked the Appalachian Throw (see picture) made with 80% recycled cotton that will totally transform your lounge from dull to contemporary cosy.
ECO IS IN THE HOUSE

Bamboo is becoming increasingly popular all over the world. This fastest growing plant found on our planet can be used to manufacture anything from flooring panels, bathtubs and golf tees through textiles and paper to matches and beer. Its sustainability, versatility of uses and attractive appearance is potentially a saviour for exploited Mother Earth. I can't live without my bamboo salad bowl, can you?
Good old glass is another building material that is rising from the ashes (literally) after the great big PET craze. Recyclable, reusable practical and pretty, glass jars can preserve any of your kitchen delicacies in sheer style.
ECOSPRESS YOURSELF
Leading an eco-friendly lifestyle isn't just one seasonal trend. It is a responsible choice that makes both the environment cleaner and people from less privileged countries happier. Eco responsibility doesn't feel like a chore knowing you can have tons of fun trying to convert your home into an enviable temple of creativity and style. Whatever it is, quirky, refined or rustic, there's something for everyone, just be willing to find your eco mojo. The hilarious doormat made from flip-flops is most definitely my next purchase.
