Anthropologie, IKEA, and Zara among winners of Vegan Homeware Awards 2018
From faux-sheepskin rugs to high quality bed linens, PETA launches list of best buys for a beautiful and ethical home. As a global animal rights organisation, PETA celebrates cruelty-free and vegan homeware for a second year. As demand for compassionate and sustainable decor and furnishings grows, keeping pace with the skyrocketing interest in vegan living. PETA’s second annual Vegan Homeware Awards recognise this year’s top designs and innovations for a cruelty-free home.
As well as being kinder to animals, PETA also looks at the environmental footprint of homeware products and chose these as award-winners.
Anthropologie has won Best Vegan Sofa for its turquoise Angelina sofa made with durable polyester dolly “wool”; Zara was awarded Best Wool-Free Blanket for its funky crocheted Plain Weave Multicoloured Blanket; the award for Best Feather-Free Cushion went to Weaver Green for its Nomad Taurus Cushion, made entirely from recycled plastic bottles; The White Company nabbed the prize for Best Silk-Free Sheets for its luxurious Camborne Bed Linen Collection; and for the second year in a row, IKEA has taken the award for Best Faux-Sheepskin Rug for its soft and warm Fårdrup rug.
Other winners include Israeli designer Erez Nevi Pana, who received the Innovation Award for his artistic vegan furniture – made from natural materials like salt and soil – and Instagram influencer Suszi Saunders, who won the Best Vegan Home Award for her lavishly decorated London abode.
“Compassionate consumers can adorn their abodes with the beautiful, cruelty-free winners of PETA’s Vegan Homeware Awards,” says PETA Director Elisa Allen. “PETA is delighted to honour the forward-thinking companies that are meeting the booming demand for vegan homes with fashionable and functional pieces that are sure to make every space shine.”

You can’t do this to me – fell into the White Company rabbit hole – AGAIN. this is one company I love so much, I wish I could be living in their products only. Amazing
I’ve been noticing a rise in demand for vegan design and I’ve been meaning to do a blog post on it myself. I think it’s great that there are more products available now for people who want to focus on cruelty free design.
It’s so good that brands are recognising the market for this, and that PETA is making it easier to know where to shop. I hope cruelty-free becomes the norm not the exception one day…
I am so pleased that Suszi won the award her home is absolute gem , and its so good to see that there are few affordable vegan friendly products out there too
Having written about Vegan-friendly bedding a couple of months ago, its great to see other elements being designed with this in mind. Some gorgeous products to help spread the word!
So wish we didn’t need to ask when making homeware choices but at least it’s starting to make an impact x
I didn’t even know there were vegan homeware awards! Great to see so many brands becoming more conscious of the ethics behind manufacture. Rx
This is so great to see not just posh brands up there. I guess there are no excuses for not being kind to the nature now! Lovely choices :)
Wow Vegan design…I have to admit I’d not heard of it before. What a great concept!
Isn’t great how there are resources like this to help with the research legwork? I’m so happy that PETA are helping us to navigate the high street. Not that I am a vegan but it’s important to know about this movement.
