The best way to reduce your carbon footprint (and minimize waste) when decorating is to feed the circular economy and buy pre-loved furniture. Check out RePurpose Fashion for Pre-loved Clothing.


If you’re looking for a stylish and sustainable way to decorate, consider finding your next piece of furniture from a resale marketplace. The gently used furniture marketplace is full of unique vintage items and prior-loved pieces from recognized home furnishing brands, all at a fraction of the original cost.

The best way to sustainably style your home is to choose used furniture over buying new. Frequenting thrift stores like Habitat for Humanity or online shopping forums like Facebook Marketplace and community freecycle pages are eco-friendly and cost-effective. And if you don’t love the way a piece looks – paint it with chalk paint from a planet-conscious company and make it your own. –The Restored Dogwood
