Responsibly Designed Furniture & Earth-Friendly Textiles
Outfit your home with responsibly designed furniture and sustainable accents to create an eco-friendly living space. Environmentally-conscious furnishings come in a range of styles that suit your design preferences, from contemporary to mid-century modern. In the living room, opt for a sustainable sofa made with FSC-certified wood and organic upholstery fabric. A solid wood tv stand, coffee table or bookshelf serves as a natural complement to a sustainable GREENGUARD sofa. Once you've designed your lounge area, bring an eco-friendly touch to other rooms as well; consider a sustainable desk for the home office or a sustainable dining table in your eating area as furniture choices that are both practical and green.
Understanding Responsible Design Certifications
If you're looking to update bedding, linens or upholstery with a more sustainable option, consider choosing responsibly designed products and furniture certified to meet specific standards. Organic Cotton growing methods contribute to cleaner soil and water, while OEKO-TEX textiles and fabrics are certified to be free of over 350 substances. Pair with a sustainable bed frame made of responsibly-sourced wood to complete the setup. For children's rooms, GREENGUARD Gold kids' furniture is screened to reduce emissions in the home and provide better air quality in little ones' rooms. What's more, all of our kids' bedding options are made with organic cotton, making the choice between sustainability and style easy. Don't forget about your outdoor spaces as well; think sustainable patio furniture and outdoor dining sets made with FSC-certified teak, so you can enjoy the great outdoors while also protecting it with choices from responsibly managed forests. Whatever your decorating style, sustainable furniture is the socially responsible choice for every home.
