Luxurious and Sustainable Decor

Whether I’m designing my own home or a client’s, using pieces that are durable and sustainable is essential. Choosing to incorporate sustainable decor prevents you from having to replace things quickly. It also allows you to make a positive impact on the community and the environment.

Sustainable interior designs give you the confidence of knowing that you’re creating a safe and healthy environment for your family.

Sustainable Decor

As a mom, I know how important it is to use pieces that can stand up to everyday life. As an interior designer, I understand the value of incorporating stunning pieces into your home. But you don’t have to choose between having livable pieces or luxurious ones.

In fact, many luxury brands pride themselves in their sustainable and “green” process.

Vetrazzo

Vetrazzo creates beautiful countertops and surfaces out of consumer recycled glass. The glass they use comes from curbside recycling programs, which reduces their carbon footprint. Talented artisans handcraft each slab in Georgia and hand place each piece of glass. (I was lucky enough to visit the factory to see how the magic happens!)

What drew me to Vetrazzo was the beautiful surfaces they were creating out of glass from car windshields, mirrors, and bottles. The quality and uniqueness of the product make it the perfect fit for our interiors. So having the opportunity to develop my own line for Vetrazzo was such a joy! I loved getting to design a product that showcases how something like a surface can be stunning and functional.

The best part about these surfaces is that you don’t have to worry about ruining it because you forgot to seal it. It’s stain resistant and non-porous. This is a surface that can stand up to everyday life in your kitchen. It’s a product I’ve been using for years in our client’s homes as well as in my own kitchen.
