Jillian Harris’s Favourite Eco-Friendly Canadian Home Brands

Since starting her Jilly Box subscription service back in 2019, Home Network favourite Jillian Harris has made it a priority to highlight and support small Canadian businesses. Along with that, she has also made a point of including eco-friendly brands and products in every box she curates.

“I have always been so passionate about home decor,” Jillian says, “but it’s also so important to me to be good to Mother Earth and decorate in a thoughtful way that is less wasteful.” Over the years, the Jilly Box has included over 20 eco-friendly brands in an effort to showcase how stylish pieces and sustainability can go hand in hand. “It has been so special to share with the Jilly Box community how you can still have great style and enjoy decorating while being mindful of your carbon footprint,” she says.

Out of all the eco-friendly Canadian products that have been included in the various Jilly Boxes, these are Jillian’s top must-haves.
