Sustainable Decoratives: Transforming Recycled Materials into Eco-Luxury Home Accessories – A Perception Analysis
Summary
This study surveyed 121 consumers to identify what drives purchases of sustainable home decor made from recycled materials, finding that product accessibility and competitive market positioning were the only statistically significant factors — outweighing sustainability awareness, brand appeal, price sensitivity, and social influence.
This study explores the key factors influencing consumer psychology in purchasing sustainable home decor, focusing on six independent variables: Sustainability Awareness (SA), Design & Brand Appeal (DBA), Price Sensitivity (PS), Social Influence (SI), Product Accessibility (PA), and Competitive Landscape (CL). A structured questionnaire was distributed to 121 respondents, and statistical analysis, including correlation and regression models, was conducted using SPSS. The results indicate that Product Accessibility (p = 0.003) and Competitive Landscape (p = 0.004) significantly impact consumer psychology, while SA (p = 0.204), DBA (p = 0.644), PS (p = 0.224), and SI (p = 0.706) do not have a statistically significant influence. This suggests that consumers are more likely to purchase sustainable home decor when it is easily accessible and competitively positioned, whereas awareness, branding, pricing, and social influence play secondary roles. The study highlights the importance of making eco-friendly products more available and strategically priced to drive consumer adoption. Additionally, businesses should focus on differentiation and market competition rather than relying solely on awareness campaigns or influencer endorsements. These findings offer valuable insights for businesses, policymakers, and sustainability advocates aiming to enhance the adoption of recycled and sustainable home decor products in a competitive market.
