Kay, I know we’re full of home decor talk this summer (admittedly that says a lot about how I’m coping with the world at the moment but hey it makes me feel better and I get to gush about sustainable brands, SO!), with our backyard picnic and guide to sustainable home decor boutiques. But I promise these gorgeous photos Charity styled and shot during our collaboration with Zuahaza will have you inspired to take on a creative home project or two, ethically made home decor included, of course.
We actually have two bedroom styles for you today, beginning with this sunlit linen bed scene.
Recreate this look with a set of pillows, sheets, and a linen duvet in two tones of blush.
Top with soft woven throw pillows in cheerful colors. Zuahaza’s Salento Pillow and Jardin Pillow were used here!
The pillows look TOO good with that linen. So cozy and yet summery.
In related news, Charity decided to paint a wall in her guest room the most amazing dark jungle green. It turned out pretty damn good for an impulsive DIY, don’t you think? The prints are by Carla Llanos and Madeline Kate Martinez.
OF COURSE our sweet lil’ pillow snuggled right on in. This look is all about unexpected color combos. There is a lot of ethically made home decor designed in rich colors and textures (especially if woven) in online boutiques like Zuahaza’s. Because of the often higher price point of ethically made goods, it can be a little risky to take the plunge and go for it. But that’s why I like investing in statement pieces like these when I’m able to. There’s been so many times I’ve opted for something less beautiful and just poorly made because of budget, and had I just saved that to put toward one or two really, truly great pieces, I’d have spent the same amount (or less). And I can honestly say that whenever I’ve spent the money on a handmade piece from an independent shop or Etsy maker, I’ve never been disappointed!
Something so simple as a beautifully made pillow or a little shelf featuring a couple of unique art prints can truly transform a space. Just make sure to keep your kitty away from those tassels!
How has ethically made home decor transformed your living space? Do you find that pieces like this are worth investing in? Let us know!
