A DASH OF COLOUR When the golden leaves tumble and Autumn begins, why not make a special effort to freshen up your living environment. It’s been a particularly gloomy summer this year, which is more reason to add a splash of sunshine to your living environment. ELEGANTLY ETHICAL A selection of new furniture, or more delicate flourishes, such as cushions, candles and curtains are a great way to achieve this. Why not consider the many magnificent ethical products available to order on-line or in independent stores? You don’t have to make a complete switch to environmentally-friendly buying as this can be expensive, but gradually integrating ethical products into your home not only makes you feel kind to the planet, but it helps our stunning rainforests to survive against unlawful logging schemes. RESEARCH BEFORE YOU BUY Before making such positive environmental choices, it’s worth doing a spot of research. In searching the internet you’re likely to find many imaginative and unique designs. Ethically-sourced wood furniture is among one of the most stunning and popular ethical retail sectors. Many stores have their ranges hand-made in countries such as Indonesia, and as the local populations there take such pride in their art the superiority and finish on the furniture is second to none. Indonesian furniture is one of excellent example of ethical furniture. PROMISE TO THE PLANET Many businesses live up to their environmentally-friendly promises by creating furniture from reclaimed wood – teak and quality hardwoods such as sheesham and acacia are trendy choices. Not only does the authenticity of the wood grain make for extremely eye-catching furniture, but it lends itself well to vivid accessories such as timber photo frames or wood candle holders. Local impact is often also minimised by using recycling initiatives, recycled timber products, and by offsetting carbon emissions generated by deliveries back in the UK.
