5 Simple Ways to Create a More Sustainable Home
Living more sustainably doesn’t have to mean overhauling your entire life. In fact, it often starts with simple, mindful choices—especially at home. At Remnant Revolution, we believe that every small action makes a difference. If you’re looking for inspiration, here are five easy ways to start creating a more eco-friendly space today.
1. Choose Sustainable Home Decor Ideas That Last
Fast fashion isn’t just for clothes—home decor trends can also encourage wasteful habits. Instead of constantly swapping out decor, invest in pieces that are timeless and made to last. Look for items crafted with care and durability in mind.
​
At Remnant Revolution, we create sustainable home decor using rescued fabrics and thoughtful design. Each item is made to bring beauty and functionality to your space for years to come—without harming the planet.
2. Upcycle Before You Replace
Before tossing out that old cushion or tablecloth, ask: Can it be repaired, repurposed, or reimagined? Upcycling keeps usable materials out of landfill and adds personal character to your home.
Our handmade pieces are a perfect example of this ethos. By transforming surplus fabric into unique, upcycled decor, we turn waste into wonder—proving sustainability and style can go hand in hand.
3. Support Local and Ethical Brands
Buying from small, values-driven businesses supports ethical production, fair wages, and lower carbon footprints. When you choose local makers, you’re also reducing the environmental impact of long-distance shipping.
Every Remnant Revolution product is handmade in the UK by skilled women artisans. We’re proud to support our community while promoting transparency and traceability in every step of our process.
4. Reduce Plastic in the Home
One of the easiest changes is cutting down on single-use plastic. Choose reusable alternatives for everyday items and avoid decor with synthetic or plastic-based materials.
Our products are plastic-free, from production to packaging. We use only recyclable paper and card to wrap and ship our pieces—because sustainability doesn’t stop at the doorstep.
5. Bring Nature Indoors
Houseplants are more than just trendy—they purify the air, boost your mood, and connect you to the natural world. Pair them with natural or upcycled materials for a soothing, grounded feel.
A beautifully crafted linen apron or a statement cushion made from reclaimed fabric can complement your natural space and tell a story of sustainability.
Creating a more sustainable home is about progress, not perfection. Every mindful purchase and thoughtful habit helps shape a better future. At Remnant Revolution, we’re proud to offer sustainable home decor ideas that inspire conscious living and support women-led craftsmanship.
