Discover Eco-Friendly Furniture

The buzz words these days are renewable, recyclable and sustainable.   If you are looking to become more environmentally friendly these concepts are on your mind when shopping for apartment home decor.  Fortunately there are a growing number of designers and stores carrying eco-friendly products for the home.

One of the leading retailers providing rugs, furniture and decor made from reused items is Ikea.  The store in West Chester, OH is a two hour drive from Westerville.  It’s close enough for a day trip of shopping sustainable items, perfect for every home.  Closer to home in Dublin, is Generation Green, an eco-friendly decor store next door to Trader Joe’s.

If you prefer to stay home and shop online, visit Etsy for some beautiful items from around the world.   Each designer uses reclaimed wood and metal, saving our natural resources from being over used.   A few of my favorites include the Steel Z Table.  It’s made from 75%  recycled steel and features 12″ discs, perfect for small spaces.   I also love the slim wall table made from Reclaimed Cedar.  It has a summer cottage feel and would be beautiful in an entry or hall way.  And of course, who wouldn’t love the Wood iPod Charging Station made from reclaimed wine barrels.

There are so many creative products currently on the market to inspire your apartment home design.  Do you have a favorite designer or store for renewable products?
