Gülçin White of Surrey-based Studio G Interior Design explains the principles of sustainable interior design and its growing importance for today’s luxury homes.
Sustainable interior design is about creating high end spaces that are aesthetically pleasing, environmentally responsible and enhance health and wellbeing. The aim is always to reduce waste, conserve our precious natural resources and improve the quality of life. This is luxury that is ethical and enduring, achieved through eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient technologies and biophilic principles.
For us sustainable luxury focuses on longevity with well-crafted pieces that stand the test of time, rather than fleeting trends. Our emphasis is on quality over quantity. At Studio G our sustainable interior design goal is to reduce waste, conserve natural resources, and create spaces that boost health and wellbeing.
This is a sustainable interior we created for a luxury holiday villa using natural materials and energy-efficient systems. The interior design enhances the well-being of guests, reduces operating costs and lower the property’s environmental impact.
Some of the key aspects of our sustainable interior design practice are:
Selecting eco-friendly materials that are renewable, recyclable and ethically sourced, such as bamboo, cork and reclaimed timber. Natural materials add unique beauty and character to a space too.
Improving energy efficiency through smart, energy-saving systems and maximising insulation and natural light and ventilation to reduce the need for artificial light and cooling/heating.
Incorporating biophilic design, which is about bringing nature indoors through elements such as organic materials and indoor planting to improve air quality and enhance the health and well-being of occupants.
