eco
Preserving the environment, climate change, saving our planet, sustainability, organic, natural or recycling, whatever you choose to call it, people are now catching on and changing their buying patterns as a result.
But it’s not just about being responsible, the eco trend is about well being too. There’s also a strong desire to slow down, enjoy life and beauty.
We want to feel good in our surroundings and are choosing colours, materials and accessories that suggest we are in touch with nature. This is also the balancing effect of corporate culture and mass commercialism.
big 'eco' friendly items this year:
Fragrance, colours, fabrics and materials all echoing living in harmony and natural living
Felt for carpets, furnishings and accessories
Fabrics – raised leaves, lasercut leaves, embossed, botanical prints
