Signé. Bien que je ne sais pas si la signature d’une britannique europhile compte 😟

So this is why we don't rely on screens to choose colours for home decor. On the left a photo by my phone. On the right 'Aquamarine - Light' on the Little Greene website. Same colour. Avoid waste (& irritation) - use real samples not photos!! #sustainableinteriordesign

I started trying to encourage my interior design clients to make more sustainable choices not long after starting my business, which has now been going 16 years. There has been (& sadly still is) so much waste in the design industry - and it doesn't have to be that way.

I'll be there! If you're local to Horsham, run a business and are interested in making it more sustainable, why not come and join us?

Can't believe it's been 11 years since I sat down with some like-minded business networking friends to discuss putting on an event to showcase our sustainable business offerings. And out of what (at the time) seemed a random idea, Kinder Living was born!

Steering Group | UK Interior Design Declares Climate & Biodiversity Emergency

Please could I be added? I am relatively new to Bluesky but am an interior designer working in the UK, promoting sustainable design. Also on the Steering Committee of Interior Design Declares www.interiordesigndeclares.co.uk/steering-group

So this is another side of me. A chance ad in the pandemic for a course on turning your sketches into digital files led me to surface pattern design. I have my designs sustainably printed on high quality fabrics in the UK. I love being able to offer clients bespoke options at an affordable price.

I love the organic lines of the wood work top - but my practical side struggles with it in a working kitchen

Hello! I think I’m ready for a glass of something red now 😆🍷 Have a lovely weekend x

When you’re 2 weeks into Bluesky & a sustainable business icon and personal hero drops a ‘like’ on your comment on her post 😁😊 - thank you @deborahmeaden.bsky.social that brightened my Friday!

There is a fairytale scenario where your interior design project comes in well under budget, super fast…. and is of amazing quality. Does it happen? Read on www.freshtraditions.co.uk/the-venn-of-...

I just pretended I wasn’t hearing that bit 😂😂 I was glad you asked about a shower tray. Wet rooms often cost more & even really cool design has to function! Sadly unless someone can do a very cheap version, I suspect the small space saving won’t matter to those who can afford the cost.

There is no 'ideal home' that suits everyone, just like there's no 'one size' t-shirt that fits everyone & no paint colour that suits all - because we're all different.
Home is not just a collection of stuff - it's about how you live, what you need and what enhances your wellbeing.

Oh that makes me sad! It’s what humans did in castles to fire arrows through and let a bit of light in before glass existed…..

I was originally a language student and spent a whole year abroad. I’ve never forgotten the experience and the lessons learned. It’s vital young people have these opportunities.

Hello BlueSky. It's been a while since I posted in 'the other place' and now I just don't want my business represented on there at all. So it's good to be here. Join me for chat about sustainable design, making your space work for you & more - great interiors are not just about fluffing cushions!!

I can't ride a bike (long story) but even my first thought was how do you stop it getting stolen?

Too minimalist for me, but I can appreciate its restful qualities. The practical side of my brain however is hoping there's a stylish library ladder tucked out of shot - or most of those shelves are unreachable 😉

Hi Sandford I just joined Bluesky. I'm an independent interior designer based in Sussex focussed on sustainable interior design.
