Whether you’ve just moved into a new, unfurnished apartment, or you’re looking to redecorate your current living space, you’re going to need to do some furniture shopping. And while redecorating may be exciting, it can be difficult to find eco-friendly furniture.

Fast furniture is just like fast fashion. It’s mass-produced, features unsustainable materials, and gets delivered in the blink of an eye, feeding into the fast-paced consumption model we’re used to. So the question is: How can we avoid fast furniture while still creating a space we love?

Thrift stores are a great place to look for secondhand options that can be repurposed or upcycled, but selection may be limited. That’s where eco-friendly furniture companies come in. From sustainably-made dining sets to sofas, these furniture brands have everything you’ll need to redecorate—all while keeping the planet in mind.
