As the holiday season approaches, why not make your home festive & eventful while keeping it eco-friendly? Embrace the Christmas spirit with sustainable ideas that can add warmth to your space without harming the planet, with these 8 eco-friendly decor ideas.
1. Go Green With Natural Wreaths & Garlands
DIY your wreaths with materials instead, such as pine cones, dried fruits and twigs! Not only is it a better choice for the environment but also makes for a fun holiday activity. Forage materials from your own yard or a farmer’s market and bring a little bit of the outdoors in!
2. Elevate Your Décor with Upcycled Magic
Consider repurposing wine corks, wooden pallets, dried fruits or even worn-out sweaters to create one-of-a-kind decorations, instead of supporting thermocol or plastic made ornaments. And for a unique touch, zhuzh up your precious souvenirs to use as ornaments!
3. Use The Right Kind Of Bright With LED Lights
Switch to energy-efficient LED lights for your Christmas tree and around your home. They overall last longer and consume less energy compared to traditional incandescent lights while still lending your space a chic festive look.
4. Unleash Your Artistry With Diy Fabric Gift Wrap
Ditch traditional wrapping paper for reusable fabrics. It is a more eco-friendly option, and a great way to personalize your gifts.
5. Homemade Potpourri For An Aromatic Abode
Create a signature scent this festive season with homemade potpourri. Use dried citrus peels, cinnamon sticks, and cloves. Dried flowers and herbs are also great additions. Fill your home with the aromas of the season in a cost-effective way!
6. Glow Green With Eco-Friendly Candles
Aromatic candles always work to create a calming atmosphere. You can opt for candles made from soy or beeswax instead of traditional paraffin. They work the same way while burning cleaner and are more environmentally-friendly.
7. Recenter The Attention With Repurposed Centerpieces
Ditch buying pre-made decorative centerpieces and instead turn old jars, bottles, or even wooden crates into charming centerpieces for your table. Fill them with seasonal flowers and foliage, or create a stunning variation with fruits. Time to unleash your creativity!
8. Re-Use And Remix With Old Decor
Instead of buying new decorations, ornaments, and accessories, opt to instead re-use last year’s stock. Re-using what you already have is better than spending on fresh-eco-friendly options, which will be cycled out again the next year. Repurpose the old decor with fresh new ideas!
