Closer to Nature: 20 Eco-Ideas for Your Apartment

1. Ideas for the Bathroom

Cotton Towels

This old reliable material is 100% organic, soft to the touch, and offers a variety of color options.

Teak Shelves

Wood is an ideal material for the bathroom, as it resists steam and moisture. Shelves for small items and towel racks are made from so-called cultivated teak, ensuring that its reserves replenish quickly.

Cork Wood Mat

Cork from cork oak is a rapidly renewable material. Moreover, it is harvested from the tree without causing significant harm. This moisture-resistant material prevents mold and bacteria growth.

Water Hyacinth Baskets

Elegant baskets, which can be used for storage or as regular trash bins, are made from water hyacinth – one of the fastest-growing plants in the world. They look great and last long.

Hemp Curtains for the Bathroom

Hemp fiber is an excellent material for the bathroom: it's a durable, mold-resistant fabric that looks natural and fresh.

2. Ideas for the Bedroom

Jacquard Bedspreads

A good alternative to regular bedspreads are soft jacquard ones made from 100% organic cotton. Despite their lightweight nature, they retain heat well and are highly durable.

Eco-Friendly Mattress

A mattress made from organic wool, sheared from lambs in New Zealand, is hypoallergenic and antimicrobial. Additionally, it helps regulate body temperature during sleep.

Bamboo Sheets

Made from bamboo grown in ecologically clean regions and blended with organic cotton, these sheets are soft to the touch, offering a comfortable night's sleep.

Jute Rug

Jute fiber, one of the softest fibers in the world, is harvested from fast-renewing jute plants. Besides being very durable and vibrant, jute rugs are also stylish.

Soy Candles

These candles, made from 100% renewable materials (soy, natural wood wick), fill your bedroom with natural, calming scents that promote healthy sleep.

3. Ideas for the Kitchen

Olive Wood Tableware

Tableware and utensils made from olive wood will give your kitchen a cozy feeling. Due to the varied texture of the wood, each piece is unique, and the material is sourced exclusively from young or non-fruiting trees.

Copper Sink

Made from recycled wires, this sink looks elegant and effectively combats microbial growth.

Ceramic Cookware

If you're looking for an alternative to conventional Teflon, consider ceramic pans, skillets, and pots: they have a non-stick coating that is also non-toxic.

Energy-Saving Lighting

Unlike cooking, you don't need bright lighting for dinner. Use dimmers to adjust brightness and set the mood in your kitchen while conserving electricity.

Message Board

A bamboo wall message board is an excellent alternative to PVC boards where we usually leave notes and messages for family members. Bamboo is an eco-friendly material that blends beautifully into a kitchen interior. Messages can be easily wiped off with a dry cloth.

4. Ideas for the Living Room

Natural Paint

In today's world, there are many eco-friendly paint options free from toxic materials. For example, Benjamin Moore paint contains no harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs), so you won't have to breathe in unpleasant odors during painting.

Eco-Friendly Plaster

Another option for living room walls is clay-based plaster made from natural materials such as fine sand or limestone, which doesn't trap dust and helps keep the air fresh.

Flax Curtains

Don't deprive your room of natural light. 100% linen curtains are practical, affordable, let in more light, and come in various designs.

Safe Rugs

To allow children to play on the living room floor, replace carpeting made from petroleum-based ingredients with rugs made from renewable resources: plant or animal fibers such as sheep wool or corn syrup.

Bamboo Accessories

Picture frames, wall hangings, vases, planters, shelves, and even curtains made from bamboo are natural and stylish accessories that fit both classic and exotic interiors.
