To adopt this style of eco-friendly decor, all you have to do is furnish your space with wooden furniture from sustainably managed forests. As for the key colors of Scandinavian decor: light and neutral colors will allow you to perfect your Nordic decoration.

Indeed, the hygge, Danish philosophy centered on well-being and conviviality, is a pillar of this style of decoration! Thus, add to your Nordic living room furniture and other accessories from the same universe: poufs, rugs and plaids! Of course, you should favor those made from natural or recycled materials.

VINTAGE DECORATION, WHICH CONTRIBUTES TO THE REDUCTION OF OUR WASTE!

Retro decoration is a style of decoration with a very low ecological impact, it would be a shame not to take advantage of it! Head to flea markets and garage sales. It’s time to go find the rare pearl to decorate your living room or bedroom: a wooden coffee table, a medallion chair… If your finds have a few flaws, it doesn’t matter, you can put your talents to use handymen: don’t be afraid of recycling. However, be careful about the products you will use during your DIY session! It is obvious that we advise you, again, to favor ecological and non-toxic products. By doing so you will obtain an authentic vintage decoration AND which respects the planet!
