<\/a><\/p>\nPhoto: Stem<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n The concept of fast fashion has been readily adopted by the furniture industry. While furniture is more affordable and widely-available than ever before, mass production has contributed to deforestation and landfill waste. This Earth Day, consider making your next furniture or decor purchase from a retailer committed to environmental sustainability. Not only is it good for the planet, it\u2019s good for your health \u2014 many of the products featured in this list are made with low-VOC finishes and without the use of harmful fire retardants. Scroll on for our top eco-friendly home decor picks.<\/span><\/p>\n Photo: VivaTerra<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Why buy a bench for your entryway when you could opt for an all-in-one landing zone instead? This piece from VivaTerra is made by artisans in Indonesia using 45 percent recycled teak wood and 55 percent recycled metal. It features 11 hooks for hanging hats, jackets and scarves, while the bench component offers open lower storage.<\/span><\/p>\n\n Photo: Manchester Wood<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n All of the furniture at Manchester Wood is made in America and crafted from sustainable Northwest hardwood. This two-tier end table has a bit of a <\/span>Mad Men <\/span><\/i>vibe with angular legs and a perch for resting your Old Fashioned.<\/span><\/p>\n Photo: West Elm<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Even large manufacturers have begun seeking out ways to produce sustainable, low-toxicity furniture. Currently, 29 percent of all wood used by West Elm is sustainably-sourced. The Modern Show Wood Bed is an FSC-certified product, which means the wood was harvested from a forest that is managed responsibly.<\/p>\n Photo: Cisco Home<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n The Wren Bookcase from Cisco Home is simple, yet sophisticated. It has two separate units that fit into one another and can be arranged according to your taste. The piece is made of reclaimed peroba wood \u2014\u00a0a tree native to Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Argentina and Paraguay \u2014 and cold rolled steel.<\/p>\n We didn\u2019t think it was possible for a dining table to look sexy, but here we are. Each made-to-order piece of furniture is handcrafted by Stem in their Los Angeles factory. The wood (in this case, solid maple or walnut) is domestic and FSC-certified, and the product is finished off with a non-VOC water-based stain, zero VOC natural hard oil and zero VOC glue. So, yes, this table <\/span>is<\/span><\/i> clean enough to eat off of.<\/span><\/p>\n Photo: Joybird<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n This perfectly-sized sofa is so stinkin\u2019 cute we\u2019d buy one in all 18 colors if we could. The frame is handcrafted from sustainable, kiln-dried hardwood and premium upholstery. Joybird has partnered with local conservation groups to ensure that for every product sold, more trees are planted than were used in the manufacturing of that furniture piece. Pretty cool, right?<\/p>\n Photo: Article<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Put a little spring in your step with this tri-toned area rug from Article. The Velo rug is hand-woven with strips of recycled bike tire rubber and recycled plastic bottles, which makes it feel wonderfully bouncy underfoot. It\u2019s suitable for indoor or outdoor use and comes in four eye-catching color combinations.<\/p>\n Photo: IKEA<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Okay, okay, we know IKEA and sustainability don\u2019t exactly go hand in hand (although, to their credit, <\/span>they are trying<\/span><\/a>). That said, rattan is a naturally renewable palm, which makes it a great choice for sustainable furniture. The STOCKHOLM armchair is handmade by skilled craftspeople and every piece has its own variations.<\/span><\/p>\n Photo: EcoChic<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n We\u2019ve all heard of reclaimed barnwood (thanks, <\/span>Fixer Upper<\/span><\/i>), but have you ever considered reclaimed boatwood? All of the colorful products from EcoChic are handcrafted from Southeast Asian fishing boats, and the wood is marine-grade, so the pieces can be used indoors or outdoors. Even the panel frames on this gorgeous room divider are made of reclaimed bridge iron.<\/span><\/p>\n Photo: Inmod<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Sustainably-minded and on a budget? Look for items made from bamboo, yet another renewable resource. Oenophilia\u2019s geometric bottle rack is like a piece of art for your countertops. It\u2019s incredibly durable and features a timeless design, so you can enjoy it for years to come.<\/p>\n Photo: Alexandra Ferguson<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Swearing in French just sounds better, doesn\u2019t it? That is, unless, you\u2019re swearing in Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois French and throwing around all sorts of Catholic terminology. Anyway, <\/span>merde<\/span><\/i> means shit, a cheeky word we love to see scrawled across an unassuming throw pillow. This particular pillow happens to be made from 100 percent recycled felt and pillow inserts derived from plastic bottles. In fact, one pillow equals about 16 recycled plastic bottles.<\/span><\/p>\n Photo: West Elm<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n It can be exceedingly difficult to find affordably-priced, sustainable furniture, but West Elm hits both marks with their line of FSC-certified products. This chic mini desk is suitable for small spaces, and features a lacquer finish in oregano, white, or its natural wood grain.<\/p>\n1.\u00a0Reclaimed Teak Mudroom Bench & Hanger<\/a> from VivaTerra, $799.00<\/strong><\/h2>\n
