Baby, it’s cold outside! When the weather gets chilly, I always get inspired to make my home a little bit cozier. The sparse decor that was perfect in summer and worked well in the fall just doesn’t feel inviting during the dark days of winter.<\/p>\n

When the sun starts setting early and temperatures drop, I want to brighten up my space with bold yet comfy accents. The problem with shopping at the big box store is that so much of the home decor items are made in sweatshops<\/a> using less-than-eco materials. Who wants that in their living room?<\/p>\n

Not only will a few strategic home decor items make your house cozier, they’ll help warm and brighten the room, so you won’t have to turn up the heat or use so many extra lights. You’ll save on energy and reduce your carbon footprint a bit at the same time.<\/p>\n

I scoured Etsy to come up with some handmade home decor finds for winter that are eco-friendly to boot!<\/p>\n

\u00a0Next>> Snuggle up on the sofa with a cheery organic quilt<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Organic Quilt<\/h3>\n

When the sun starts setting at 4:30, you need to look for cheery colors elsewhere.<\/p>\n

I’m loving this bright, floral organic quilt from Quiltery<\/a>. Perfect for staying warm without turning up the thermostat, and it will add some brightness to the room without turning on an extra lamp.<\/p>\n

Next>> A comfy throw pillow<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"hemp<\/a><\/h3>\n

Hemp Pillow Cover<\/h3>\n

Spruce up your sofa with a comfy pillow! This hand-printed organic pillow cover<\/a> from Home Sweet will fit any 16″x24″ pillow. You can make this an even more eco-friendly addition by using it to re-cover a pillow you already have or one you find at the thrift store, rather than buying a new pillow form to stuff inside.<\/p>\n

Next>> Warm your floor with a rag rug<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rag Rug<\/h3>\n

Walking on a cold, hard floor is totally unfun, and there’s no need to do it! Dress up your floors and treat your feet with a bright, organic area rug by Green At Heart instead<\/a>. She’ll create the rug in any size you like using reclaimed t-shirts and certified organic cotton jersey. Pretty sweet!<\/p>\n

What’s your favorite eco-friendly way to cheer up your decor in winter and make your house a bit more cozy?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
