Sustainably Interior Design Your Home

Interiors have become a lot more like fashion in these days. People are looking to keep their homes fresh and up to date more regularly than before. And with more and more homeware brands available online and at a lower cost, it’s far easier to do these days.

Some questions always come on my mind, do we need to be looking at how we all buy and consume interiors products in the same way that we have in fashion? Should we be moving away from ‘fast interiors’ and thinking about furnishing and decorating our homes in a more sustainable way?

However, here’s something you would be interested in reading which can help you creating a more unique and individual interior whilst helping the environment.

Upcycle

This is one of my favourite ways of making our own home unique and individual. Whether it’s an old bedside table, an armchair that’s seen better days or a kitchen that could do with bringing to life, you can always update various elements in your home and make them more unique with a bit of upcycling, rather than buying new.

If you fancy taking things a step further you could potentially even make something of your own from scratch, but if something is beyond your toolkit or DIY skills then don’t be scared to hire a professional. They’ll also be able to help with your ideas and design and create something bespoke for you and your home.

Support Local

It could be rug that’s been hand woven locally, a furniture maker that can create a truly bespoke dining table that comes in the size and shape that suits your style or a bespoke plywood kitchen made by local carpenter. There are fantastic makers out there locally available, so let’s support them.

So, leading a more sustainable lifestyle doesn’t mean you can’t keep your home fresh and interesting. By buying local and upcycling you can help avoid old furniture and materials going into landfill. But not only that, it can be something really fun to do too. And it means you have a more unique and individual home.
