Online Eco Sourcebook: home
Our comprehensive guide to the best earth-friendly sites for home.
1
Amenity Home
Done up in subdued shades and crisp floral prints, the bedding and home wares from this e-tailer—owned by friends and graphic artists Nicole Chiala and Kristina de Corpo—hardly look as if they're made in an urban metropolis like L.A. Nature plays a huge role in the duo's designs: Only organic and sustainable materials are used for luxurious-looking offerings like alpaca throws, hand-screened linen pillows, and printed wall panels made of hemp.
2
Arcadia Home
Each and every one of Arcadia Home's office and home accessories is artisan-made, and many are from sources as unlikely as littered plastic bags, cotton remnants, and 100 percent wool felt. We're coveting the lush-colored journals that look leather-bound—but are actually made of recycled cotton scraps.

Branch Home
Based in San Francisco, this spot has an exhaustive array of sustainable products, innovative in both their modern designs and forward-thinking materials like reclaimed mahogany and recycled plastic. Check out the Warehouse Sale section for ultra-affordable finds, or sign up for the newsletter to get updates on frequent deals and specials.

Eden Home
Here, even the most mundane of home supplies—sponges, cleaners, and staple cookware—feel earthy and luxurious: apple-and-thyme-scented dish soap, all-natural laundry detergents, and handwoven service ware are among the selection. You can save a product for later by adding it to your "wish list," or head over to the Gift Ideas section to find great stuff for friends and family.

Elum Designs
Originally just a resource for letterpress stationery printed with soy-based inks, Elum has expanded into a full-fledged line of artsy wall prints, colorful gift wrap, and fabric-covered journals. Its vibrant paper goods—ranging from boxed sets of stationery to invitations and announcements—can be completely personalized, and best of all, they're all made from tree-free, post-industrial-waste cotton rags.

Gaiam
Gaiam has been turning out alternative health and beauty goods for years, but we love it for its bedding. The line has a host of qualifications: organic, free of pesticides, made with low-impact dyes, etc. And what makes the sets really stand out are the incredible colors and delicate prints.
