That's why it's important to consider the furniture we use, especially in our bedrooms.
Let's talk about sustainable bedroom furniture and how it can fit into your life.
Eco-Friendly Furniture
Choosing eco-friendly furniture is more than just a trend; it's a commitment to sustainability and responsible living.
But what is Eco-Friendly Furniture?
Eco-friendly furniture, also known as sustainable furniture, is designed and manufactured with the planet in mind, minimising environmental impact while maximising style and functionality.
It’s crafted from materials and produced using processes that have minimal negative effects on the environment.
This includes utilizing renewable resources, recycled materials, and sustainable manufacturing practices.
By opting for eco-friendly furniture, you reduce your carbon footprint and support industries prioritizing environmental stewardship.
Materials Matter
So, what makes furniture eco-friendly?
One of the key elements of eco-friendly furniture is the materials used in its construction. Sustainable options often include:
Wood. Look for furniture made from sustainably sourced wood. These woods are harvested in a way that maintains the health of forests and ecosystems.
Recycled Materials. Furniture crafted from recycled materials, such as reclaimed wood or recycled plastics, gives new life to old resources, reducing the need for new materials and diverting waste from landfills.
Natural Fibers. Upholstered furniture made from natural fibers like organic cotton, hemp, or bamboo reduces the environmental impact compared to synthetic materials and minimizes exposure to harmful chemicals.
It's also important to pick furniture that's built to last. When you invest in quality pieces, you're not only reducing waste but also saving money in the long run.
Sustainable Manufacturing Practices
In addition to using eco-friendly materials, sustainable furniture manufacturers prioritize environmentally conscious production methods. This includes:
Energy Efficiency. Manufacturers invest in energy-efficient technologies and practices to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions during the production process.
Waste Reduction. Minimizing waste through efficient manufacturing processes and recycling or repurposing materials helps conserve resources and reduce landfill waste.
Fair Labor Practices. Sustainable furniture companies often prioritize fair labor practices, ensuring that workers are treated ethically and paid fair wages throughout the supply chain.
Sustainable Bedroom Meets Style
You might think that eco-friendly furniture means sacrificing style, but that's not the case anymore.
Today, sustainable bedroom furniture comes in all sorts of stylish designs.
Whether you like the classic look of wooden furniture or the modern feel of sleek designs, there's something eco-friendly for everyone's taste.

FRANCES HODGKINS: ANYTHING BUT A STILL LIFE
NZ, 2023, Documentary, 90 mins
This documentary explores the life and art of celebrated New Zealand painter, Frances Hodgkins.
From her time in art school in London in the early 1900s, when one of her paintings became the first work by a New Zealander to be hung at the Royal Academy of Arts, to her time in Paris where she taught at Colarossi's academy as the first woman instructor.
It was during her time in France that Hodgkins was influenced by the styles of Matisse and Derain but quickly developed her own highly personal style, which embraced modernist hallmarks.
Over the decades, Hodgkins work became highly respected, as she worked alongside artists including Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson and Henry Moore.
At the peak of her career, before returning to NZ, Hodgkins was considered a key figure in British Modernism and a role model for women artists everywhere.
Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei on Thursday 23rd May at 6pm and TUESDAY (not Thursday) 28th May at 8pm.
