Minimalism: As waste reduction becomes more mainstream, people are increasingly aware of ensuring everything they own has a purpose in their lives. This extends to decor and furniture – minimalist styles that have been popular over the last few years continue on, with homeowners leaning towards having only the items they need in their homes.

Natural Textures: Using more sustainable materials in homes has become part of trending design. This includes items such as woven straw baskets and bamboo decorations. Choosing woven shades and wool blankets is a great way to start making sustainable choices for the home. Woven shades can even reduce energy consumption by helping to regulate a home’s temperature. 

Repurposing Furniture: Before buying new, there is a growing trend to buying used pieces and redoing them to fit a home’s style. Although it’s not a new practice, reupholstering old furniture to fit a home renovation has become part of living a sustainable lifestyle while still enjoying new decor trends.
