As eco-friendly decorating goes, there are lots of small, sustainable choices you can make, like buying organic bedding or tableware made of recycled glass. But when it comes to bigger purchasing decisions like furniture, a lot of consumers are simply priced out of the green marketplace. Of course, there is always the option to buy used furniture from Craigslist, eBay or your local classifieds or thrift store, which is the greener choice anyway. But if you’re on a budget and in the market for new green furniture, the pickings can be slim.
The beautiful Hinode platform bed from Sachi Organics won’t break the bank, and it is beautiful. The bed is handmade from locally sourced woods, and bamboo was recently added as an option. Even better, the starting price for a twin bed is just $285.
The style of the bed (along with its name) has an obviously Asian influence, with a very low profile and a carved inset of a sunburst. You can also get a matching bedside table to complete the look.
Why It’s Green:
- Handmade of locally-sourced wood
- Bamboo option available
Price: $285-615 (prices vary depending on bed size, wood choice, and other upgrades)
