Thinking Sage Green...

Isn't there just something incredibly calming and reassuring about the color green? We'd go as far as saying it's our absolute favorite, right behind the versatile neutrals, of course.

Now, you might think it sounds obvious to bring the 'outdoors in' with green, but is it really that simple? Absolutely! All you have to do is take a peek outside, and you'll witness the beautiful array of greens that nature has to offer. However, when it comes to creating a space that exudes serenity, we've got our eyes set on sage green – it's the real deal.

Adding green to your home doesn't always have to be in the form of an accent color; it can also mean making choices that are environmentally friendly. While it may be challenging to make your home 100% green all the time, there are several meaningful steps you can take to contribute to a more sustainable and eco-conscious lifestyle.

1. Choose Green-Conscious Companies: Consider supporting brands that prioritize eco-friendliness. For instance, Farrow & Ball is one such company that offers sustainable water-based paint formulas. These formulas reduce harmful emissions and contribute to healthier indoor air quality. Farrow & Ball also focuses on waste reduction by providing infinitely recyclable tins for their products. By opting for these products, you not only enhance the aesthetics of your home but also minimize your environmental footprint.

2. Handmade Accessories from Local Artisans: When it comes to home accessories, consider sourcing handmade items from local artisans or platforms like Etsy. Handmade accessories, such as pillows, not only add a unique, personal touch to your space but also support local craftsmanship and reduce the carbon footprint associated with mass production and long-distance shipping. Additionally, many artisans prioritize using sustainable and ethical materials, making these choices a win for both your home and the environment.

Whether it's choosing sustainable paints or adding handmade accessories, these small changes contribute to a greener and more environmentally responsible lifestyle. Your home can become a haven of comfort and style while reflecting your commitment to a healthier planet.
