Sustainability begins at home. Interior designers have a tremendous impact
on the sustainability of our environment. From furniture, fabric, and finishes the designer can select eco- friendly products that truly beautify
the home while leaving a positive imprint on the environment. At Marilyn H. Rose Interiors when designing our Hamptons interior design, and Long Island interior design projects, we are always conscious of following design principles, so we can assist in building a better, more sustainable future! From a sustainability perspective, it’s imperative that we choose materials and products with the lowest environmental impact. An excellent example
is bamboo flooring. It is not only beautiful but is quickly renewable. Natural fiber rugs made from grasses or fibers like sisal, wool, jute, hemp and recycled tiles, are other examples of stylish sustainable floor options.

Organic green materials such as wood, natural stone and cork are also
great choices for interior design projects. Moratto adhesive backed patterned cork tile by Sustainable Design is a great option for color and texture:

Reducing energy consumption is also an important aspect of sustainable
design. To save money and energy spent on lighting, we may try to
incorporate paler hues in our color scheme. These paler colors will reflect more light, while darker wall and décor need more artificial lighting. Reflective surfaces such as mirrors, allow more light to bounce off
surfaces and therefore, require less lighting. At Marilyn H. Rose Interiors we have often sourced LED lighting that take sustainable design to the next level!

Today’s landfills are overflowing with trash, furniture and other waste.
Fortunately, at Marilyn H. Rose Interiors our design style incorporates many antiques, vintage décor, and reupholstered furniture, which all are excellent ways to reduce waste by using reclaimed or recycled materials Marilyn H. Rose Interiors incorporates a stunning antique Maria Teresa

We hope you now see that a sustainable design does not have to
sacrifice a beautiful design. At Marilyn H. Rose Interiors we are always on the hunt for the best eco-friendly, sustainable interior design techniques to reduce our carbon footprint, allowing for a greater
positive environmental impact!
