Easy Action Step Number Five
Furnishings: Think Quality over Quantity
Inside your wonderful French home you will want to have some nice comfortable and attractive furniture that enhances the beauty of your French home. Like the item in the image above.
Of course, there are many options.
In the photograph above you see a sofa / couch that looks like most sofas except that the wood in this piece of furniture is from sustainable forestry and the cushions are made from very durable natural rubber and the covering does not include any toxic dyes.
It is a 15 year old item that has stood the test of time according to the owners and is still as comfortable as it was the day it was purchased.
We recommend that when you are choosing new items for your lovely French property you look for the materials that are going into the furniture and indeed, the cost may be more to begin with but the impact you will have on the planet will be worth your extra investment.
