SUSTAINABILITY





'Good design is not about color, style or trends – but instead about thoughtfully considering the user, the experience, the social context and the impact of an object on the surrounding environment.' inhabitat Selecting products that are sustainable & eco-friendly begins with you as designer/ decorator.
Choose products that are kind to the environment, are able to be recycled or are reclaimed. Choose local product where you can.
Flooring is one of the main components of an interior. Timber floors being generally the most commonly selected. 'Recycled Timber Flooring is a unique floorboard due to the natural features and variation in colours from deep forest reds to soft golden creams. There are a large number of natural swirls, grain effects and other features that evolved naturally in the forest that adds a unique charm to your floor.'
IRONWOOD 88-90 Lilyfield Rd, Rozelle NSW is a great showroom to visit & get an idea of how recycled timber can be used.
Or visit
Australian Achitectural Hardwoods 55 pattersons Lane, Kempsey next time you are going North.

Note the use of LINE as a predominant design element in the images. Horizontal & vertical lines used in different materials, thicknesses & sizes create an interesting & dynamic composition.
