Now of course sustainability is far more important than appearance, but boy does it feel great when you manage to find both criteria’s in one beautiful product. After you’ve spent such a long time designing and curating your interiors it can be frustrating when a products branding lets you down, but worry no more as here is a round of the best sustainable AND stylish home products out there right now.

forgo HAND WASH

Say goodbye to throwaway plastic soap bottles that you never wanted in the first place and hello to this masterpiece. Swedish design studio Form Us With Love have recently unveiled the product which is available in three different scents and presented in a sleek glass bottle with refills that are shipped plastic-free - what isn’t there to love?

odacite 552m shampoo bar

Named 522 after the number of million plastic shampoo bottles destined for landfill each year in America, this Odacite shampoo bar has all the perks of a high quality shampoo but without the plastic pollution. Combining just coconut oil, cupuaçu butter, argan and caster oil, it has no nasties, silicones or sulphates and is vegan too. They estimate that one shampoo bar prevents three plastic shampoo bottles going to landfill which is huge and it will certainly look better than those bottles in your shower too.

reusable fruit and vegetable bags

Whilst many supermarkets have set targets to reduce plastic package, there is still an abundant amount making its way into our weekly shops. So swap the prepackaged elements for loose items instead using fruit and vegetable bags to store them at home. Zara Home has recently released a collection of products that champions this idea which can be found here.

tincture cleaning products

100% natural, sustainable and non-toxic, TINCTURE creates products that are not only kind to us but also the environment. Derived from plant based actives, essential oils and botanical extracts, it uses the power of nature to clean your home without the use of artificial or synthetic ingredients. They’ve also branded the products exquisitely making you want to display them proudly rather than hide them under the kitchen sink. Purchasing their Healthy Home Introduction Set would be a good place to start.

zero-waste shopping

As we become more conscious of what we consume, more zero-waste food shops and strategies are opening across the UK. As well as cutting down on single use plastic, it can also help combat food waste and makes the kitchen cupboards look far more tidy and attractive. Of course, shops like this aren’t everywhere and not everyone can access them yet, but if you are keen to see if there is one nearby you, take a look at Zero Waste Near Me.

Could you make more sustainable choices?

From list above, what do you feel is realistic or what are you already doing? In my household we now only use Tincture products, buy toilet paper from Who Gives A Crap, shop with reusable bags and more recently are trialling zero-waste shopping. I hope that in the next few months to add some more sustainable and stylish products to this list, so if you have any suggestions please share them below!
