Sustainability is a term that’s tossed around frequently, but what does it really mean when it comes to interior design? Well, today, sustainable homes can be both earth-conscious and timeless without sacrificing on aesthetics. Whether you’re a designer or homeowner aiming to curate a space that makes Mother Earth a bit happier (and healthier), it’s all about thoughtful choices — and the sustainable homes that do it best are anything but boring.
It’s not purely about the latest-and-greatest tech, solar panels, or prioritizing low-emission paint, either. It goes deeper than that. It’s about choosing to build a sustainable home around the root system of a historic live oak instead of bulldozing through it, using reclaimed materials that recount the stories of generations past, and creating layouts that flow just as well as they function.
