As a mom, you want to keep your family healthy and happy. That means choosing sustainable, earth-friendly items and décor materials. But that doesn’t mean you can’t make your home look super-stylish. Here are five items you should have in your home to keep it green and glam.
Reusable Sandwich Wraps
They might not sound glamorous, but they really look stylish! Instead of using plastic lunchboxes for the kids or sandwich wrap for your lunch, choose the Onya reusable sandwich wrap. It comes in a variety of bold colours and it’s made from recycled PET bottles. Most importantly, it prevents the use of plastic in your home. According to UNESCO, plastic debris kills over 1 million seabirds, and over 100,000 marine mammals, every year.
Cute Kitchen Composter
Everyone should be making their own compost, but if you don’t have your own composter, then this one by Eco Rich is perfect. It’s got ready-to-use organic materials as a foundation so you can start throwing your kitchen waste into it and making your very own compost. It also looks good with its terracotta stacker design.
Green Mattresses
Have you ever wondered what your mattress is doing to you while you sleep? Mattresses contain chemicals that are bad for your health and that of your children. The main material that’s used in mattresses is polyurethane foam. This is highly-flammable and made of petroleum. It’s wrapped in fire-retardant chemicals that can cause health conditions such as hormone disruptions and cancer. These chemicals are especially dangerous for children as they’ve been linked to neuro-developmental delays and behavioural problems. An eco-friendly mattress prevents all the dangerous chemicals and uses natural materials instead. The Tea Leaf Dream Eco-Friendly Mattress by Keetsa is a great example. It uses green tea to keep the material fresh, and a hemp-blend material to provide healthy ventilation.
Sustainable And Stylish Bath Sheets
Wrapping yourself or your baby in a towel after a bath should feel pampering and luxurious – not be filled with harmful dyes or synthetic materials. Make sure you’re stocked with eco-friendly bath sheets and towels all over the house. Get your hands on the Itawuli range of towels that have intricate African designs, and come in vibrant colours. Best of all, they’re made with 100 percent cotton.
Replace Your Plastic Plants
Plastic plants might be really low-maintenance, but you want to ban all plastics from your home! Choose real plants instead. The benefit is that not only will they make you feel like you’re outside in nature, but they’ll clean your indoor air and reduce its harmful carbon dioxide levels. Choose plants that have colourful flowers to create striking, natural décor in your home.

Tawulo Hand Towel
Bathroom, TowelsThe beautiful muted tones of the Tawulo blends beautifully into many interiors while adding texture and tone to your bathroom. The story behind the Tawulo comes from way back when the weavers in West Africa used natural dyes with a limited colour pallet. Once they saw European dyed fabric with brighter colours they would trade to get this cloth, which they would then unravel to get the yarn. The yarn was then rewoven into their own fabrics, often mixing different colours together which created a textured and uneven colour pallet. This technique has been integrated into the Tawulo. Each towel comes out slightly differently due to the random rolling of the weft yarn in the weaving process. 100% Cotton Hemmed Designed, woven and made in South Africa. Care instructions: Machine washableAUD$32.00 -
