Ideas for a Sustainable Bathroom

Want a bathroom design that looks like a luxury spa? You can have the polish and finish of a magazine photoshoot all while saving energy and money.

Consider sustainable upgrades like low-flow plumbing and energy-efficient lighting. Want to give your walls a splash of color? Use low VOC (volatile organic compounds) or VOC-free paint. This eco-friendly option has less impact on air quality and reduces allergy-inducing toxins. You can also buy VOC-free wallpaper!

For your vanity, consider reclaimed wood. Using recycled materials is great for sustainability because no new materials were created with toxin-emitting machinery. If you’re going the DIY route, you could use something you already own like a short bookcase or nightstand as a vanity.

Kitchen and Bath Design with You in Mind

Whether your kitchen simply needs a new look, or you want to tear the walls down and start over, our interior designers can bring beauty and functionality into this key space. Maybe you're looking for low-maintenance flooring, upgraded countertops, or built-ins for added space. Many problems can be solved with the help of a new set of expert eyes.

Want a custom bathroom design too? You begin your busy day and wind down at bedtime in this often-neglected room. A well-designed bathroom that is comfortable for users of many sizes and abilities can also be the loveliest bath on the block. We work with materials from the indulgent to the budget-conscious to create baths our clients will love for years.

Sustainable Kitchen Design Ideas

Want to design a beautiful and eco-friendly home?

You don’t have to trade style for sustainability! With the right design choices, you can achieve a showroom-style kitchen and bath design, all while keeping it good for the environment (and your wallet).

Reclaimed and natural materials make you feel at one with nature but remember that natural materials don’t always equal eco-friendly! Try to go for man-made materials that mimic the look of stone and wood to reduce the environmental impact of your countertops and tiles.

Consider:

• Products made from recycled materials
• Products made from renewable resources like bamboo
• Materials with low embodied energy (the energy required to produce a product)

Additionally, choose energy-efficient appliances and long-lasting cookware. Many common kitchen appliances such as dishwashers and refrigerators use a lot of energy. Look for the Energy Star label when shopping for finishes for your new kitchen design!
