Shopping for consignment furniture does more than just save you money – it's a powerful way to reduce our environmental footprint. Every piece of high-end consignment furniture or high-end consignment art that is given a second life prevents manufacturing emissions and keeps materials out of landfills. At Consign & Design, we meticulously curate our consignment furniture and consignment art collections so that even though you’re shopping second-hand, it feels like you’re in a high-end designer showroom. And the best part: many of our resale furniture pieces are actually lightly used designer pieces!
The furniture industry's environmental impact is significant. Manufacturing new pieces requires extensive resources, from harvesting wood to producing synthetic materials and metals. Millions of tons of furniture end up in landfills annually, with most pieces taking decades or even centuries to decompose.
High-end consignment furniture and resale stores such as at Consign & Design disrupt this wasteful cycle. When consumers choose pre-owned, consignment furniture pieces, they decrease demand for new manufacturing while extending the practical life of existing items.
Shopping at Consign & Design also has local benefits: consignment furniture typically involves local transactions, reducing transportation emissions compared to new, high-end furniture shipped from overseas factories. Looking for furniture resale stores nearby is also beneficial because you can test and view designer furniture in person.
The quality difference in consignment is also a compelling reason to choose resale furniture and art. Older furniture pieces were often built to last, using solid wood and superior construction methods. By choosing these durable pieces, consumers invest in high-end furniture that can be enjoyed for generations rather than disposable items that quickly deteriorate.
The rising popularity of resale and consignment furniture reflects growing environmental awareness among consumers. For those looking to reduce their environmental impact, consignment furniture offers a practical solution that combines sustainability with style, quality, and affordability. Come visit us at our Palm Beach Gardens or Wellington showrooms to shop our consignment furniture and consignment art collections. You can also browse our hundreds of resale pieces online and have them delivered to you! Consign & Design is bringing affordable luxury into everyday living.
