What's Inspiring Me

Friday, June 4, 2010


What's inspiring me right now?  Sustainable products... There are many beautiful products on the market with more elements of  sustainability than ever before. Most manufacturers are including more and more items in their product lines that emphasize green living. I recently had a client with extreme allergies so I sourced fabrics low in chemical exposure. Here are designs that incorporate sustainable products beautifully. Concrete floors, teak ceilings, bamboo bedding, non VOC paint, recycled copper, recycled glass and recycled plastics for carpet are common green materials .  This list is not all inclusive.  New green products are coming to market all the time. Many are made in the US but there are imports too.

 Teak on the ceiling, non VOC paint on the walls, a rug dyed with natural dyes... Is that the aesthetic you're working toward?
