When you think of ecology, you probably first imagine recycling, planting trees, or solar panels. 
But… what does your interior have to do with that? 
More than you might think. 
And no, you don’t have to redesign your home from scratch. It’s enough to start seeing things differently — your walls, furniture, lighting — because sustainability begins with small choices. 

In honor of Earth Day (April 22), we’ve gathered a few ideas for how your home can quietly support the planet. No drama, no extreme makeovers. Just a bit more awareness. 

1. Materials that know where they come from 

Choose natural, recycled, or locally produced materials whenever you can. You don’t have to trace the origin of every plank, but you can ask: is there a version of this that travels less, consumes less, and lasts longer? 

2. Old doesn’t mean bad (or less beautiful)  

Restoring old furniture isn’t just an act of nostalgia — it’s a stand against overconsumption. A good armchair never goes out of style. Maybe it just needs a new cover. 

3. Light that doesn’t use more than it should  

LED lighting, motion sensors, and natural daylight — all of these make a difference. They might not drastically change your electric bill, but they’ll change your habits. 

4. More nature inside = more respect for nature outside  

Bring in plants, open the windows, use natural fabrics. Let your space breathe. When you start to experience your home that way, you naturally begin to think differently about the world outside it too. 

5. Less plastic, less plastic, less plastic… 

You don’t have to get rid of everything at once. But next time you’re buying décor or packaging, choose wood, glass, metal, or ceramic — materials that don’t fall apart, physically or symbolically. 

Your home doesn’t have to be perfectly styled to be consciously designed. 
If you could change just one thing in your space today — what would it be?
