Sustainable Furniture Brands We Adore
When putting together conscious home decor, it’s worth noting which companies go the extra mile to certify that their sustainable furnishings are both good for your home and the planet.
Things Worth While editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn about our methodology and business model here.
The Citizenry
More than just gorgeous rugs and bedding, The Citizenry works with makers all over the world to ethically craft furniture. Our staff pick is the best-selling San Rafael Safari Chair. Handcrafted by an award-winning workshop in Mexico City, each chair takes 7 days to complete. All made start-to-finish in a fair-trade environment. These are made in small batches though, so get on that waitlist stat!

Avocado Green Mattress
You might not think that a mattress company could make quality, sustainable furniture. And that’s where Avocado Green Mattress would like to prove you wrong — not only is their solid wood furniture is handmade in an FSC certified factory, but their designs are timeless and eye-catching. Did we mention shipping is free, too?

West Elm
While perhaps not the most sustainable brand on this list, West Elm has done a fair amount of legwork to try to keep up. An increasing number of their products are FSC and GREENGUARD GOLD certified, and the brand is certified Fair Trade. With such iconic designs, we certainly hope that West Elm, and their parent company Williams Sonoma, continue to build on their “good for people, good for the planet” motto!

Thos. Moser
If you had to sum up Thos. Moser’s furniture in three words it would be: beautiful, timeless, handcrafted. Each piece is made in Maine from North American hardwoods, including black cherry and walnut, which are naturally renewable and harvested sustainably. What we love is that it’s a family-run operation that marries craftsmanship with excellence — these beauties are built to be loved for generations.

IKEA
Believe it or not, the Swedish furniture giant is hyper-focused on sustainability: by 2030 they plan to use only renewable or recycled materials, and over 98% of their wood is either recycled or FSC certified. They also aim to be climate positive and release an annual Sustainability Report. What we love is the seemingly endless amount of customization for each piece. Plus, their price tags are famously wallet-friendly as well.
