We often think about eco-friendly living in terms of swapping out our CFL light bulbs for LEDs, recycling our milk jugs, and bringing reusable bags to the grocery store. But when it comes to how we decorate our homes, it can be a little more challenging to draw the line between what’s good for the planet and what’s not.

Here is a list of the home brands that are making a difference with their environmentally-friendly products and practices.

Ten Thousand Villages

Bringing the global community a little bit closer together, this Pennsylvania-based company partners with artisans from around the world to support their business endeavors by providing the means and outlet to sell their work. This fair trade organization prioritizes fair wages, safe working conditions and the use of recycled materials in its products.

Vermont Woods Studios

With a mission for preserving the rain forests of the world, this Vermont-based artisan furniture maker uses wood sourced exclusively from well-managed North American forests. As part of its commitment to sustainability, the company has also planted thousands of trees in the Amazon and other forests.
