If you've come across this post while searching for sustainable alternatives to Anthropologie home, you probably already know why they are a problematic company (as well as Urban Outfitters, which owns Anthro, Free People, BHLDN, and Terrain.

18 Ethical Home Decor Shops You Should Know About
Being big fans of bold and inspiring interiors with a conscious maximalist twist, we are always looking for ethical home goods that have stories behind them, whether it's living room decor or artwork to adorn own walls, and of course to gift (and to prove just how beautiful ethical goods can be!).
