Sustainability: The Trend in Home Furnitures

The trend in furniture today is dictated by functionality and possibly fads too.

However, one compelling feature that cannot be ignored is furniture going green.

Environmental concerns, such as the impact of deforestations and climate change, are leading consumers to demand green furniture.

What is green furniture?

In a nutshell, green furniture is sustainable furniture for viable and worthwhile living.

If you are a responsible citizen concerned about the environment, you can do your bit to keep this planet healthy by buying green furniture.



Here are some ways you can do it:

1.    Buy reclaimed wood furniture

If sourced from old houses, reclaimed wood is solid, stable and long-lasting. Home furniture made from reclaimed wood will have characteristics of high quality wood, such as teak wood and sheesham wood.

Quality is not sacrificed as many may tend to believe. On the other hand, when the manufacturer cuts back on carbon footprints, you get one-of–a–kind furniture pieces with the hallmark of reclaimed wood designs.

2.    Buy furniture that is non-toxic or low toxic

Ideally, your sofa or side chair must have sustainable furnishings. One of the objectives of going green is to eliminate the toxic chemicals and carcinogens that lead to poor air quality. The wood, glues, finishes, and dyes used must be completely free of harmful chemicals.

3.    Buy local

When you buy from a local store instead of importing, you are making a green choice. You are indirectly or directly cutting down on fuel consumption that is needed to transport home furniture. Moreover, by buying from a local store, you are supporting the local economy as well as local skills.
