Decorating your home is a great way to show love for the environment. Sustainable lifestyle is a way of life that everyone has been adopting in recent times. Well, the best way to switch your lifestyle is by starting at home. Today, there is a wide variety of stylish options of sustainable decor to choose from. There are many eco-friendly materials available to go green with your humble abode. Although, alternative lifestyles are more expensive, sustainable fabrics for home decor are something that will not necessarily crunch your wallet. There are many eco-friendly, organic and sustainable fabric that will help you with your home decor.

Bamboo is an affordable, easily available and sustainable material for furnitures. This is a great addition to cover up space for storage units that are both open and closed. It is very necessary for everyone to be aware of the environment they live in. Organic cotton is a standard by product of a natural crop that can be used to make your home look beautiful. With this sustainable crop, products like drapes, towels, sofas, pillows, linens and blankets can be made.  

Practicing sustainable techniques of living is something that everyone can do at their own space. One can start off with basics like using an indoor plant  to purify the air, as pure air keeps your home fresh and welcoming. This also helps in avoiding the damp smell, especially during monsoons.

Cork, a by-product of the tree bark is an eco-friendly alternative for home decor as well. It can be waterproofed and moulded into wall and floor tiles. Not only is this sustainable, but it brings in a very modern-architectural vibe into the house. Agile Design can be the mantra used to improve future flexibility in usage of space reducing renovation as well.
