Eco-Friendly Furniture Selection for Your Bedroom

Evaluating Merchandise

Furniture is a good place to start, since you get any closer to home than that when it comes to merchandise, unless you’re talking about clothing. Evaluating furniture involves several variables. It often begins with the size of the room and the other pieces of furniture in that room and how much space they consume. Sometimes the process begins with the color of the prospective dresser or dining-room set. Perhaps you need to separate part of a room to create a makeshift office with a partition. If that’s the case, then you might be one of those people who place a lot of value on style. One style to consider is a Japanese shoji screen to fulfill this objective. Of course, price is a concern for many people, but sometimes it’s more cost-effective to spend a bit more money on furniture made with solid wood that has a much longer life-span than furniture constructed from particle board. Another option is to buy furniture that’s slightly damaged or patiently wait for the next discount-sale.

Considered by many buyers, retailers, manufacturers and scientists to be the global standard for rating eco-friendly furniture, the stringent E-1 European Union Certification for furniture production a force to be reckoned just like Nature itself.  Although the state of California is presently monitoring the production of furniture, a similar high standard of classification has not been adapted by the United States as a whole. This sophisticated brand of classification analyses the use of base materials and their degree of sustainability. It also assesses the quantity of artificial ingredients present and the amount of off-gassing of different toxic substances, a chemical mechanism that pollute your home or office for months. The E-1 rating, which originated in Brussels, is superior to any other known rating system in the world, so when you see that formidable label on a piece furniture, you can trust that you’re about to purchase a truly eco-friendly product.

What Is a Green Steward?  

Well, it’s certainly not a Martian or a relative of the Wicked Witch of the West or someone with gangrene. In today’s alternative marketplace, Green is synonymous with eco-friendly and/or environmentally-friendly. Dare I coin a new phrase and call it global-lovely furniture with Green trimmings? After all, Christmas is less than two months away. All kidding aside (only kidding), an eco-friendly steward is a person who feels protective about his or her natural environment, a person who feels a sense of responsibility in the way he or she lives his or her life on this sacred planet we all call Earth and some people call Gaia. Until the mid-18^th century, when industry and factories were sired by men with starry eyes, everybody on the planet was Green. Now it seems like our starry-eyed leaders are yellow. Perhaps Saint Nicholas should give them all some eco-friendly furniture for Christmas, as he hums the Battle Hymn of the Republic sliding down the chimney.
