Sustainable Bedroom Ideas for an Eco-Friendly Home

Creating a sustainable bedroom isn’t just about the ideal aesthetic for your Pinterest account – it’s about combining your values with your personal space. Did you know that – on average – we spend one third of our lives in our bedrooms, that could translate for around 27 years of our life! More and more people are embracing eco-friendly and environmentally friendly living, with our bedroom design becoming a centre for sustainability. In all, these ideas generate conscious choices – choosing nature over consumer culture through design and wellbeing.

By turning your bedroom into a solid sustainability centre, you not only reduce your carbon footprint, but you also promote healthier lifestyle choices – such as cleaner, clearer air. Additionally, by purchasing and uncovering local or nation wide sustainable products, you’re supporting and promoting key British values within our communities and economies.

So Why is the Bedroom the Perfect Place to Start being Sustainable and Eco-Friendly?

To put it simply, our bedroom isn’t just for sleeping, it’s our retreat, our downtime from everyday life – so why not treat it with the love and care it deserves? The healthier choice is always the best choice and investing in a sustainable bedroom is easily manageable. Sustainable consumption and production means ethically sourcing, minimal waste, and durability – all for a timeless design within the comfort of your space.

Plants for your bedroom

Now as Pinterest has supported, no sustainable and eco-friendly bedroom is complete without plants – and lots of them! To accompany your new and improved bedroom design we’ve compiled a list of plants that will make excellent add ons for both aesthetic and health.

Spider Plant: One many of us hear about when searching for clean plans. Spider Plants have numerous benefits for our bedrooms and ourselves. They remove harmful toxins from the air, improving air quality within your space. Moreover, they are non toxic to pets, making them safe for pet owners. And for those who are scared of taking care of their plants – it requires minimal watering!

Snake Plant: Exactly the same as the Spider Plant. These are our personal favourites!

Golden Pothos: Another plant that’ll remove toxins from your bedroom, such as Carbon Monoxide and formaldehyde.

Peace Lily: These lovely plants help out to filter all these nasty indoor pollutants within your home.
