The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.

Our editors have decorated our homes with sustainable brands for over a decade — these are our favorite brands for home decor that are nontoxic and eco-friendly with designs we love.

There is nothing that makes a house feel more like a home than filling it with the people we love and the simple things that speak stories of sentiment and self-expression. When sourcing these special items, it can often take a bit of time, effort and a few drawn-out shopping trips!

While stores like Target and HomeGoods are known for being a popular one-stop shop for all things decor, there’s something special about finding unique, sustainable and one-of-a-kind home items. These eco-friendly home decor brands offer a more limited range of products than the big box stores, but with a little patience, it’s definitely worth the effort for a curated and sustainable space (though secondhand is always better!). Below you’ll find options for kitchenware, bed and bath, home accents, textiles, wall decor, outdoor accessories, garden accessories, rugs, furniture, and more!

Why shop for sustainable home brands?

Shopping for sustainable home brands isn’t just about being trendy — it’s about making choices that feel good for you and Mother Earth. These brands focus on using eco-friendly materials, reducing waste, and supporting ethical practices, which means you’re contributing to a healthier environment whenever it’s time to add or upgrade to your at home collection. Plus, sustainable products often last longer and look super chic, so you’re getting quality and style without the guilt. It’s a small step that can make a big difference, plus it feels great knowing you’re doing your part for a greener future. 🌱

Our criteria:

Our editors are not new to the world of sustainable home goods. We’ve researched and tested dozens of sustainable home brands over the past decade and scoured thousands of customer reviews in preparation for this round-up of our favorites. We update this list regularly with emerging brands that meet our criteria below.

  • SUSTAINABLE & NONTOXIC | The health of our homes and the environment is our priority — each of these decor companies sustainably source and craft their items from reclaimed, recycled, and natural materials that are free from harmful chemicals that can pollute our air and harm our health. We’ve noted the third-party certifications that testify to this below.
  • ETHICAL | Fair labor practices, traditional artisan craftsmanship, and sustainable practices that support local economies are valued by each of our selected brands.
  • AFFORDABLE | Home decor can be expensive! We’ve made sure to include plenty of budget-friendly sustainable options, too.

And as you outfit your home, check out our guides to ethically made furniture brands, nontoxic cookware and organic mattresses too, all of which are focused on ethical labor standards and sustainable practices. Happy home decorating to all!

Our editor loves Quince’s use of sustainable and nontoxic materials like organic linen and cotton, and that their pieces are shipped in eco-friendly packaging that arrives quickly and efficiently! 

Our Editor’s Review | We started with the most apparent decor necessity: Curtains. With all the windows in my sister’s new home, she desperately wanted to warm up the space by replacing blinds with soft, airy curtain panels. The Heavyweight curtains from Quince are made with premium European linen and then lined with 100% cotton to offer privacy and softer light to filter in, which is perfect for her living space. The heavyweight material gives them a gracefully draped look (no ironing needed!), and the panels have a curtain rod pocket for quick installation.” – Kayti Christian, Senior Content Strategist [Read the full review.]

Our Editor’s Review | “The fitted sheet has sixteen-inch pockets to easily fit over even deep mattresses without popping off at night. It was easy to get on once I figured out which way was the top (it’s not labeled like some fitted sheets are). The pillowcases have an envelope-style closure, meaning the pillow opening is on the back, so no tags or pillow ends will pop out. Thoughtful yet simple design all around.” – Natalie Gale, Contributing Editor [Read all reviews.]
