Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

We’ve talked about cork flooring in the past, since it’s an environmentally friendly resource (cork bark can be peeled from a trunk without damaging the tree itself, and the bark eventually grows back), but did you know there is such a thing as cork fabric?

The couch shown in this picture is upholstered in, you guessed it, cork. The fabric is covering the pillows, too, and there are even inserts in the coffee table. It’s the living room for the eco-conscious interior decorator.

You can get the cork fabric from the Jelinek Cork Group, and it comes in several colors (there’s an interesting ottoman on their site upholstered in green cork).
