Those proclaiming to go vegan might not make the connection between animals and interior design. Thankfully vegan decor is quickly becoming a decorating staple, even for those who don’t practice the dietary routine. So say goodbye to animal products and hello to endless possibilities.
Choosing Natural Materials
When deciding to buy home decor, put your money where the material is. Natural materials like cotton, linen and bamboo, as well as synthetic materials like polyester and nylon, are great places to start your vegan home journey. Buy blankets made of cotton or spring for cotton bedding. And get ready to enjoy the comforts that a polyester down comforter can bring. Enjoy your vegan accessories while entertaining by investing in cork place mats and bamboo serving bowls.
Adding a Little Paint
The details matter, which may be why you should take a second look at your paint. Standard paints may include animal products or may have been tested on animals. But vegan paint is animal-product free and cruelty-free. It may sound like a stretch, but even the Duchess of Sussex jumped on the vegan paint train — Meghan Markle used a vegan paint when getting Archie’s nursery ready. If you aren’t ready to go full duchess, try out a new shade with an accent wall. It’s a great way to experiment without the pressure of diving into the trend.
Switching Up Your Furniture
Vegan furniture provides a plethora of different textures and materials, ensuring the whole room can still feel specifically curated. From fluffy but faux ottomans to braided rugs, you can create a cozy or modern atmosphere without relying on wool or fur. Embrace vegan home decor while also adding a bohemian accent with a macrame tapestry or give your puppy a new seating option with a floor cushion. Larger swaps are available for those looking to take the jump, like leather chairs for a vegan sofa. There are also exciting headboards and decorative pillows for those looking to go full vegan. With more options coming on the market as the lifestyle becomes more popular, it’s never been easier to experiment with this trend.
