This can have a positive impact not only on the environment, but also on the health and well-being of the people who live and work in the spaces we design.

By providing education, resources, and fostering a taskforce of sustainable designers, we can encourage the interior design community to continuously adopt sustainable practices and create a more sustainable future.

Tips & Tricks

Here are some tips and tricks that we share with our community on how to design sustainably, be sustainably responsible within the interior design community, how to exhibit sustainably, and promote environmental responsibility in general:

By incorporating these tips and tricks into your design practice and promoting environmental responsibility in general, you can help create a more sustainable and responsible interior design community.

Use sustainable materials

Choose materials that are environmentally friendly, such as reclaimed wood, recycled metal, and natural fibers.

Choose energy-efficient lighting and appliances

Use LED lighting and energy-efficient appliances to reduce your energy consumption and lower your carbon footprint.

Reduce Waste

Consider the full lifecycle of your design. Use materials that can be recycled or repurposed, and look for ways to minimise waste throughout the design process.

Consider the social impact of your designs

Look for ways to create designs that are socially responsible, such as using fair trade materials or supporting local artisans.

Use local suppliers

Look for suppliers that are local to your area to reduce transportation emissions and support your local economy.

Choose sustainable transportation

When exhibiting your work or attending industry events, choose sustainable transportation options such as public transportation, cycling, or carpooling.

Create long-life products

Create products that stand the test of time and last consumers a lifetime. Prioritise repairability, offering repair services and access to spare parts whenever possible.
