Sustainable decorating

In addition to the design and type of decoration, the materials play a role. Wood, glass, porcelain and stainless steel are in tune with each other. Everything that is decorative and sustainable can be made from these materials – from picture frames to storage boxes, figures, candlesticks and vases. Textile home accessories are made of certified organic cotton, linen and wool.

Upcycling decoration

With a lot of skill, new lanterns, carafes and vases are handcrafted from recycled glass. Old picture frames are repaired and highlight photographs and drawings by their shabby chic. Used cotton is washed and e.g. processed into colourful garlands. In the industrial look, recycled metal is predominant, which is transformed into small shelves, wall hooks, figures.Sheltered workshop are often involved in the upcycling of decorative objects. Within of their reach, the handicapped people can be involved in the creative origination process.

Sustainability is more than just a trend when it comes to furnishing and equipment for your own four walls. Decoration made of recycled wood and glass is transformed into natural room dividers, wine bottle holders and vases.

Coasters made of vegan felt, glass, wood and slate also protect the table surface from stains. On the dining table, your favourite wine floats in a wooden wine bottle holder.

Pillows and blankets create a cosy atmosphere in the bedroom and living room. Organic fillings made from organic millet hulls, organic spellt husks and wool beads offer a special experience when lying.

Cute stuffed toys made of alpaca and recycled cotton are often used as a decorative element in the bedroom or guest room.

Scent sachets with organic lavender or natural incense sticks have a relaxing and calming effect. Depending on the mood, the eco fragrance dispensers can be placed in the desired location in the apartment and on the balcony. Organic aromatic oils also ensure that natural scents are dispensed in the room air without emitting pollutants.
