Sustainable interiors for planet-friendly living in 2022

Are you making an effort to live more sustainably in 2022? Last year’s COP26
conference put the issue of climate change front and centre in the news for weeks, and
it left many of us wondering what we can do to help prevent global warming. Even
though a lot of the focus of CPO26 was on governments and big businesses it’s also
clear that every small action we as consumers take can add up to big change. From the
way we choose to travel to work and for holidays to the food and clothing we buy,
there’s now a sense that we can all help limit our impact on the environment around us.

While fast fashion has been in the spotlight for several years, attention is now turning to
other consumer products, such as furniture and interior accessories. Even as recently
as last year, fake lawns and plastic houseplants were getting column inches in the
interior press for being so realistic and long lasting, but the selling point that they last for
years chimes a little poorly when you realise those plastic plants will still be here in
hundreds of years! That clearer focus on the products we choose to buy is why
sustainability and ethical production are key trends in interiors this year. The holy grail is
to find products which are produced without causing unnecessary harm to the
environment, last for many years to come and look fantastic. Here at Heugah we’re
passionate about finding interior accessories which help make your house a home and
when they tick the sustainability box too, it’s even better!

That’s why we’re proud to stock the amazing Hug Rug Woven collection of rugs, throws
and pillows. These products look and feel just like real wool, but they hide an impressive
and eco-friendly secret. They are all made from recycled plastic bottles! This not only
lends the rugs and other products some amazing features which you’ll love, but it also
keeps these used plastic bottles out of landfill. Plastic drinks bottles have been
pinpointed as some of the worst offenders out there for leaching harmful chemicals and
microplastics into the environment as they break down, so we really don’t want them
buried.

So, as well as being green and sustainable, what else is so amazing about the Hug Rug
Woven products? The innovative ‘fabric’ is just as warm and cosy as wool, but the
material is very resilient. That means it’s mould and mildew resistant, moth proof, stain
resistant, hypoallergenic and washable. The whole collection is perfect for indoor or
outdoor use, so you can enjoy all the home comforts outside on a balmy summer
evening and know that the fabric isn’t being ruined by the rather inevitable British damp
morning which will follow… Hug Rugs throws, cushions and rugs are available in a wide range of colours and both plain and patterned weaves, so you can be matchy-matchy,
bright and vibrant or chic and understand. Whatever suits you and your home best!
