Decor
One of the greatest things about eco-friendly decor for your home---aside from all the environmental benefits---is the great, unique items available. Recycled materials save waste from landfills but also offer one-of-a-kind pieces you won't find at Ikea. Reclaimed wood calls to mind antiques (but in a modern way), while preventing more wood from being harvested. You'll find everything for eco-friendly decor here, from small items like soy candles encased in bamboo to big pieces like sustainable jute rugs in a range of designs. Plus, while eco-friendly decor is a must for making a new green home as environmentally conscious on the inside as it is on the outside, it's also a great way to get an older home greener without the high cost of renovating, and we've got plenty of handmade, eco-friendly decor options that are equally fabulous and preferable for the planet.

WHAT MAKES IT GREENER
Recycled ContentRecycling is the reprocessing of old materials into new products, with the aims of preventing the waste of potentially useful materials, reducing the consumption of fresh raw materials, reducing energy usage, reducing air (from incineration) and water (from landfilling) pollution by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production.
Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on the planet and therefore highly sustainable. It is an incredibly versatile plant used for many everyday applications from flooring and wall paneling to paper and fabrics. Some of the processes through which Bamboo is turned from its raw form into usable products can have a negative environmental impact.
Materials that are harvested in a way that reduces the environmental impact and ensures a replenishing supply of the material.
Reclaimed lumber is used wood that has been taken for re-use, often from long-standing idle buildings, and is sometimes refinished for new purposes. Most reclaimed lumber comes from timbers and decking rescued from old barns, factories and warehouses and some companies have been known to source wood from less traditional structures such as boxcars, coal mines, and wine barrels.
