PETA’s Vegan Homeware Awards celebrates the products and brands that are helping to make homes more animal-friendly in 2024.
Best Vegan Accent Chair
goop x CB2 Gwyneth Ivory Boucle Swivel Chair
The Gwyneth Boucle Swivel Chair—created in a partnership between lifestyle brand goop and home goods store CB2—is available in a stylish textured bouclé upholstery that’s a luxurious vegan pick that no sheep were exploited for.
Best Wool-Free Runner
Kelly Clarkson Home Eloise Damask Runner for Wayfair
This is just one of the animal-free runners from the Kelly Clarkson Home collection at Wayfair, which are affordable and available in a variety of sizes. Sheep are fun-loving, social individuals who have desires and form close relationships, just like all other animals. By choosing a wool-free runner, you aren’t supporting the cruel wool industry.
Best Down-Free Sofa
Joybird Bryant Modular Sofa
Ultra-customizable and animal-friendly, the Bryant Modular Sofa from Joybird has options for everyone. It’s great for busy homes with children and animal companions since the down-free cushions hold their shape and the performance fabric selections make it easy to clean.
Best Down-Free Accent Pillow
West Elm Loren Botanical Pillow Cover With Down-Free Pillow Insert
West Elm offers a vegan down pillow insert option for many of its unique cover designs, including this 100% cotton floral Loren Botanical Pillow Cover.
Best Vegan Leather Sofa
Crate & Barrel Wells Renew Vegan Leather Sofa
Upholstered in a silicone-based vegan leather material derived from sand and available in four colors, this sofa has a modern look with soft, animal-free cushions for both comfort and style. The global leather industry abuses gentle cows, who are killed by the millions for their skin.
Best Vegan Leather Ottoman
Pottery Barn Baldwin Vegan Leather Ottoman
Picture this chic, cushy vegan leather storage ottoman as the star of your living room—it’s sure to make a great first impression on your guests! Plus, you can tell them that no animals suffered to achieve its contemporary look.
Best Vegan Home Furnishings Range
Safavieh
For a one-stop shop, Safavieh should be your go-to. It offers a wide variety of animal-friendly options, including vegan leather poufs, sofas, and rugs.
Best Wool-Free Area Rugs
Jonathan Adler for Ruggable
Ruggable’s washable rugs make cleaning easier and look great longer than wool rugs. The various cruelty-free styles from Jonathan Adler feature bold, colorful patterns in a variety of sizes to fit any room.
Best Sheep-Friendly Companion Animal Beds
Avocado Green Mattress Organic Dog Bed
Your animal companions deserve the best, and this bed from Avocado Green Mattress is just that. It features an innovative PETA-approved, organic, anti-odor, and antimicrobial mattress made from coconut husk with a waterproof cotton liner and a removable cover. There’s also an option to include a comfy bolster pillow or a bed frame. The best part: No sheep were harmed to make this cozy bedding.
Best Vegan Leather Chair
Arhaus Kirsten Faux Leather Dining Chair
Vegan leather is a great option for dining chairs because the material is easy to clean and durable. The sleek look of this one from Arhaus is a great choice for those who want the leather look without the cruelty to cows.
Best Faux-Fur Throw Blanket
BR Home Kodiak Faux Fur Throws
Fur can’t be luxurious if it was ripped from an animal’s body—which is why we love these high-quality, thick vegan fur throw blankets by Banana Republic Home. They’re soft, warm, and even available in a size large enough to lay across a king-size bed.
Best Down-Free Bedding
Williams Sonoma Primaloft
For the feel of down without harming intelligent, curious ducks and geese, opt for Williams Sonoma’s Primaloft bedding and pillows. This luxury spun microfiber fill will keep you cozy and warm, and it’s hypoallergenic and antimicrobial.
Best Wool-Free Mattress
Saatva Loom & Leaf Mattress
Why toss and turn at night trying to sleep on a mattress filled with wool from sheep who were kicked, punched, mutilated, and killed? Choose a vegan mattress like the Loom & Leaf from Saatva for a compassionate night’s sleep.
Most Innovative Fruit-to-Furniture Home Design
Krill Design
Italian company Krill Design is making future-forward 3D printed home goods using food waste from orange peels, lemon peels, and coffee grounds. The results are unique and sustainable statement pieces that are as functional as they are beautiful.
When animals are used for their skin, fur, wool, or feathers or for anything else, they’re treated as commodities, but each of these living, feeling individuals is someone—not something—who experiences joy, fear, loneliness, and pain.
Thanks to brands such as these award winners, the homeware industry is evolving, helping us move toward a kinder, more sustainable future without animal-derived products.
