There are some decent options out there for environmentally conscious home decor. But really...some of them are kinda beige. Or cookie cutter same-same, or just too burlap-ish crunchy, you know?

Relax, you have options.

For one-of-a-kind decor, in the words of 1stdibs.com, "Do the planet a favor, buy vintage."

An ad in Vogue Living turned us on to this amazing online clearing house. You can browse through a stunning variety of furniture and lighting, ranging from antiques to mid-century modern, all posted by dealers from around the world.

The site can be searched several ways, including by city, or categories like seating, lighting, tables or carpets.

The images are big and beautiful, and most items have multiple views. Plus you can review comprehensive details like dimensions and information about the designer or studio.

But wait, there's more! The site also has articles and interviews with artists and experts, as well as local shopping guides.

The listings change weekly, and if you create a login you can see the prices. While Ikea doesn't have anything to worry about, for what you're getting the prices are pretty good.

Check out the gallery to get an idea of the wide variety of items you can find.
