There\u2019s been a theme in interior design and upholstery fabric circles for some time now, a throughline particularly showing up in buzzwords like \u201cgreen,\u201d \u201ceco-friendly<\/a>,\u201d and, the one that seems to be the catch-all, \u201csustainability.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability<\/em>. Sounds good. Whether you\u2019re a particularly environmentally conscious person or not, having a \u201csustainable\u201d home interior seems like a pretty good idea, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the term itself can feel a little squishy and hard to pin down. And, much like doing other things for home or self-improvement, it\u2019s a \u201cprogress, not perfection\u201d sort of deal. It\u2019s about making changes that work best for you, your home, budget, and life \u2014 and<\/em> the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The great news is, whatever your situation or design style, there are some simple, actionable things you can do little by little<\/strong> to make your home and, specifically, your upholstery and decor fabrics ever more sustainable. Let\u2019s take a quick look at some easy wins and what sustainability can mean in a variety of situations in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green and other eco terms are, obviously, first and foremost meant to direct the mind to all things earthy and natural. When it comes to fabrics, there are a few basic things to keep an eye out for when you\u2019re looking for what\u2019s most eco-friendly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural fibers:<\/strong> Look for fabrics made of natural fibers. While many natural fiber fabrics these days are blended, the blending comes bearing the gift of its own kind of sustainability through enhanced performance, durability, and affordability while still offering the look and feel of natural fibers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
