15 Useful and Eco-Friendly Products for Your Home

Bedspread with Coyuchi products — Coyuchi

Your home can be a great place to start in embracing more eco-friendly items and practicing a more sustainable way of living. Though the solution to a healthier climate and planet isn't more products, when you're in need of a new throw pillow or accent chair, eco-friendly and sustainable is the way to go.

Eco-friendly can mean a lot of different things in terms of designing your space. Home decor that falls under this category can be made out of recycled materials, sustainable fabrics, or come from a process that cuts down on waste or utilizes innovative materials. Offsetting the carbon footprint caused by production and giving back to causes that are working to protect the planet and its ecosystems are other ways in which home goods can be better for the environment too.

Below are decorative objects, organizational solutions, and cleaning supplies that'll help you start curating a home that's more eco-focused.
