There has been one common thread (no pun intended) with all of the eco-friendly fabrics I have posted thus far: They have all been very expensive. Recognizing that there are decorators with budgets of all sizes who are trying to go green, I want to include fabrics in all price ranges.
These great prints from Near Sea Naturals are made of organic cotton. Conventional cotton production uses large amounts of pesticides, and those pesticides have a huge impact on the Earth. So create a slipcover or a new set of curtains that you can feel good about, and they can be super stylish, too.
The fabrics shown above are Perfect Paisley Chinese Parsely Jersey, left, and Desert Safari Olive Jersey. There are other stylish patterns to choose from, and you won’t put a hole in your pocket, either. Because volume discounts are built into the pricing structure, you actually pay less if you buy more fabric. So stock up, and get to decorating!
Why It’s Green:
- Fabrics made of organic cotton, which is grown without the use of harmful pesticides
Price: $13.24-20.08/yard
