As designers, we get to play a big role in shaping the future—why not make it a bright one? Sustainability is more than just going green; it’s about reimagining how we design spaces that are smart, efficient, and in tune with nature. By embracing sustainable practices, we can cut down on waste, lower our environmental footprint, and create spaces that not only feel good to live in but are healthier to live in.

What if sustainability isn’t a top priority for me?
I get it! Our industry has a long way to go, but being sustainable doesn’t have to mean more time and money. It can be as simple as one tile selection, using environmentally safe cleaning products, selecting one piece of consignment furniture, or deconstructing and donating your existing kitchen. Every small step counts—making just one sustainable choice is still progress in the right direction.
