Reducing plastic consumption, cleaning with eco-friendly products, and working with the seasons to bring the outdoors inside are all important steps towards creating a sustainable home. In her book, "The Sustainable Home," interiors writer and photographer Ida Magntorn offers inspiration and tips for creating a harmonious, beautiful, and functional home that is sustainable in the long run.

Magntorn takes inspiration from real homes and follows the motto "reuse, reduce, recycle" to share new ways to think when decorating. She offers practical and positive advice to create a greener home, including clever ways to eco-boost the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, living room, and laundry. She also provides inspiration for changing up your décor without buying anything, how to go on a plastic diet, a guide to locally sourced plants and flowers to green your air, and how to make your own cleaning products without chemicals.

Big changes and small tweaks sit side by side, with the aim to make everyday life as free from toxins and as eco-friendly as possible. Illustrated throughout with photographs of homes that are both sustainable and aesthetically pleasing, "The Sustainable Home" goes beyond Scandi minimalism to show elements of industrial and natural, pops of colour, and hints of maximalism.

By following these tips and incorporating sustainable practices into your home, you can create a beautiful and healthy living environment for yourself and your family while reducing your impact on the planet.
