Whether you’re fully Vegan or simply trying to incorporate more plant based choices in your life, it is sometimes a struggle to find luxury homewares that tick both boxes. It’s important that our homes feel clean, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing, but we all must consider more eco conscious choices here and there.In this blog, I’ll run through some of our favourite luxury home furnishings, that also just happen to be completely plant based!
We always recommend investing in good quality bedding that is right for you – Items we use everyday and affect our sleep are particularly important to get right!
If you’re looking for bedding that is un-dyed, unbleached, responsibly made and ethically traded, we have 2 popular options available – the classic range of cream slightly speckled bedding or the luxury sateen range. From the same manufacturer, we also carry the organic everyday range in soft brown marl or pale Ivory.
For something with a little more colour, we’d recommend looking at the Organic Linen bedding, available in 3 modern shades – Beige, Charcoal and Sage green. Alternatively, we have lots of pure cotton bedding available in a range of thread counts and finishes, such as the 200 Thread Count cotton bedding in Ochre Yellow or Storm Blue.
The Botanic Vegan Duvets contain TENCEL Lyocell fibres derived from sustainable wood sources. The timber is, through an environmentally responsible manufacturing process, converted to fibres which are then used in both the filling and BCI cotton for outer casing of the duvet. This range of duvets is 100% plant based and has been registered by the Vegan Society. These vegan duvets are hand-crafted in Devon, keeping the carbon foot-print of the product low. The duvet itself is also fully biodegradable and compostable.
Alternatively, take a look at our range of Tencel Pillows, organic cotton filled duvets or the Organic Cotton and Kapok filled Duvet. Kapok is a cotton-like, fluffy fibre obtained from seed pods. Also known as ‘plant-down’ due to its silky, fly-away quality, Kapok is a fibre with great warmth retention and is naturally dust mite resistant. It is GOTS and Soil Association certified, so you can be confident of its eco credentials. It’s the ideal duvet for people who want to sleep in natural materials, but not animal fibres!
We also have pillow protectors and mattress protectors in organic cotton, along with a lightly padded mattress cover of organic cotton.
Of course, we had to mention our lovely hand-made bed bases! Made with sustainably source solid timber and using only very small amounts of glue and lacquer, we can confirm that no animal products are used in the production of our wooden beds. Most of our Upholstered bed bases do come with Wool fabric, however, the padding itself does not contain any animal fibres, so you could look into providing your own plant based fabric or our Vaquero fabric as seen on the Bloomsbury.
Of course, what bed is complete without a mattress! Most of what we stock does contain wool, however the Eco Core Cotton does not contain any. This traditional look tufted mattress has a unique Natural Eco Core at its centre, and is both natural and biodegradable. Without pocket springs you will float on 100% natural latex layered over a firm central core of coconut fibre. Extra layers of natural cotton give a luxurious soft finish and added comfort.
When it comes to lounging at home, we can’t think of a more relaxed fabric than linen! We love the Organic Linen Pyjamas in Charcoal, with matching robe in White or Charcoal. Made from European flax, the plant based fabric is washed to create that casual appearance and ultimate comfort which actually improves with age. The linen also has an enhanced breathability making it feel fresh and cool in summer, yet warm and cosy in winter.
We’re happy to say that all of our Toiletries are Vegan and Cruelty Free – so take your pick! If you’re after the most eco friendly option, Meraki offer a lovely Organic Body Care and Hand care range. Pamper and cleanse your skin, leaving it soft and nourished, with these gentle, unfragranced toiletries. For the ultimate luxury feel, we love the Sevin Body care range! Made in the UK by London-based skincare brand Sevin, and available in two fresh and wonderfully aromatic scents.

For a special treat, the Aery Bath salts are the perfect addition to any bath lovers life!

Perfect for snuggling up on the sofa, taking outside on cool evening or as an extra layer of warmth on your bed – you can never have too many throws!
For that stylish, lightweight texture, we love the Modern Organic Cotton Throws – These abstract patterned throws are an easy way to add a hint of colour to a space, great for draping over the back of the sofa or along the end of the bed. Alternatively, you may like the Organic 6 layer throws for a more laid back and neutral feel – a lightweight throw/bedspread with a subtle rumples texture.If you’re looking for something thicker and cosier, the Plain Soft Quilted throws are a firm favourite among customers and staff!
