What is Vegan Decor?
Most people know that veganism is a lifestyle that abstains from consuming or using any animal products. What many don’t realize, however, is that veganism also extends to other areas of life, including decorating your home. Vegan decor is any type of home decoration that does not use animal products in its construction or design.
This can include things like furniture made from sustainable materials like bamboo or rattan, rugs and blankets made from natural fibers like seagrasses or cotton, and even art and wall décor that avoids using any leather, fur, or feathers.

One of the great things about vegan decor is that it is often more environmentally friendly than traditional decorating styles. Vegan furniture and décor typically use fewer resources and produce less pollution during their manufacture.
Additionally, vegan furniture and décor often last longer than their non-vegan counterparts since they are not made with fragile materials like leather or feathers.
“What you ask?” Yes, true story. Vegan products can be better quality than non-vegan products.
Whether you are vegan for ethical reasons, environmental reasons, or simply because you love animals, incorporating vegan decor into your home is a great way to show your commitment to a cruelty-free lifestyle.
