Budget-Friendly Bamboo Products and Home Décor

By Bamboo Grove on July 15, 2021

For years upon years, the term “bamboo” has been burned into our brains as being synonymous with those cute & cuddly giant panda bears and pretty much nothing else…but not anymore. As climate change crusaders from every continent continue their noble battle against global warming, it’s high time that the rest of the general public lets their guard down and gets onboard with the beautiful benefits of bamboo.

Even the smallest of changes in your everyday life can have a larger impact on the world around you, like the butterfly effect. Similar to the ways you would slowly change your lifestyle when beginning a new diet, making small bamboo swaps and exchanges around the house will eventually achieve the desired results: a reduced carbon footprint and a sense of accomplishment for playing your part in the seemingly endless fight against deforestation, dramatic weather changes, and the slow destruction of the Earth’s ozone layer.

Bamboo Products

One of the most common misconceptions about bamboo is that this durable, sustainable, and versatile material has the tendency to be expensive, regardless of how you’re utilizing it…which couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, there are multiple budget-friendly choices for the money-conscious consumer who is looking to give back to the environment without breaking the bank. After all…Amazon has everything these days, don’t they? Our favorite affordable bamboo products include:

• Kitchen utensils, decorations, and dinnerware including chopsticks, cutting boards, place settings, and silverware.
• Custom-crafted bamboo furniture, cabinetry, flooring, ceilings, and wall coverings.
• Bathroom toiletries like toothbrushes, toilet paper, soap dispensers, wash cloths, shower curtains, and shelving.
• Clothing knitted with bamboo fabrics, including socks, t-shirts, swimming suits, and bathrobes.
• Cozy and comfortable bedroom sheets, mattresses, pillows, comforters, bed skirts, and duvet covers.

Other Bamboo Options

Perhaps you’d like to take your talents and your green thumb to the next level and try your hand at bamboo agriculture and gardening – a trend that has become wildly popular in the past few years for a couple of reasons. First, bamboo crops require no herbicides or pesticides for proper growth due to bamboo kun: a bio-agent that is bound to the plant at a molecular level, and second, the root systems of a bamboo plant are clustered together which helps prevent soil erosion and disease. The combination of these two factors, plus many others, is why many farmers, croppers, and urban gardeners are making the sustainable switch to bamboo…and you can too!
