Sustainable Decorating

Do you enjoy altering the appearance of your home but find your budget tighter than a pair of skinny jeans after Thanksgiving dinner? Then consider recycling your decorative items! It's an economical method to transform the look and ambiance of your space without needing to sell a kidney on the black market.

Why Recycle Your Decor? Because Who Needs New Stuff?

• It’s Eco-Friendly: Save the planet one dusty knick-knack at a time. Mother Earth will thank you, and she might even send you a thank-you card!

• It’s Budget-Friendly: Your wallet can breathe a sigh of relief. No more choosing between a new lamp or that third cup of coffee to survive the workday.

• It’s a Fun Challenge: Like a scavenger hunt, but instead of looking for treasure, you’re just trying to find a way to make that hideous vase look less hideous.

How to Get Started Without Losing Your Sanity

1. Channel Your Inner Picasso: Rearrange, repaint, or repurpose! That old picture frame could be a fabulous chalkboard. Just don’t blame me if your kids start using it for doodling their next masterpiece.

2. Embrace the Power of Grouping: Put those lonely items together like they’re at a high school reunion. You’ll be surprised how much better they look when they’re not standing alone in the corner, awkwardly avoiding eye contact.

3. Get Creative: If all else fails, just throw some glitter on it. Glitter makes everything better—just ask any five-year-old or a disco ball!

   
   

So go ahead, give those decorative items a second chance at life. Your home will look fabulous, your budget will thank you, and you might just become the next big thing in DIY home decor—minus the reality TV drama!

You can recycle your decorator items by taking the pieces you are replacing and storing them in a cupboard. Make sure that you store them so you can see each piece easily. A shallow cupboard is ideal. This could include things like pillows, throws, vases and art work. Store similar colours or tones together. Then, when you get bored before you go to the store to get new pieces go to your cupboard and see if there is something you'd like to reuse.
