TLDR:

Key Points:

  • Redefining eco-conscious living in interior design, balancing luxury and sustainability.
  • Using sustainable materials like PET yarns and mono materials in carpet design.

Redefining eco-conscious living is taking centre stage in interior design, with homeowners seeking a balance between luxurious aesthetics and eco-friendly or sustainable home decor materials to elevate the ambiance of the space. Practising consciousness involves embracing innovations in sustainable home furnishing that extend beyond just using sustainable materials.

In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Smriti Choudhary, Brand Director at Cocoon Fine Rugs, emphasized the importance of using natural fibers like pure silk and wool for long-lasting products. She also suggested avoiding fibers like bamboo and banana silk in favor of PET yarns made from recycled PET bottles. These materials add long-lasting life and are suitable for the outdoors, balancing responsibility towards the environment.

Choudhary also mentioned how material choices introduce innovative design techniques that elevate the aesthetic appeal of sustainable home furnishing. Experimenting with patterns, textures, and colors while abiding by the norms of eco-conscious living exudes sophistication and contributes to a healthier planet. Additionally, using mono materials in carpet design enhances recyclability and sustainability impact.

Anushka Ahuja, Co-Founder of Studio by Agni, highlighted manufacturers adopting eco-friendly processes to minimize waste and reduce environmental impact. Recycling and reusing yarn dyes, water, yarn residues, and other materials help minimize wastage. Utilizing materials like reclaimed wood, bamboo, recycled plastics, and organic fabrics for furniture and decor items further promotes sustainability.

By incorporating both eco-friendly materials and manufacturing processes, home furnishing is redefining modern living, offering stylish and functional solutions that align with a greener, more sustainable future.
