Sustainable Living: Pro Tips from a Brisbane Interior Designer

Why Health & Wellness Should Be Considered in Your Interior Design: In today’s fast-paced world, our surroundings play a crucial role in shaping our well-being. Thoughtful, sustainable interior design can positively impact both our health and the environment. As a Sustainable Interior Designer, I create homes, apartments, and businesses that not only look beautiful but also promote a healthier way of living.

The Power of Sustainable Interior Design: Brisbane’s warm climate and urban lifestyle offer the perfect opportunity to embrace sustainable living. Whether you're renovating a heritage home in New Farm or designing a modern riverside apartment, incorporating health and wellness principles into your interiors will enhance both comfort and longevity.

Here are my top tips for designing a sustainable and wellness-focused interior:

1. Choose Natural, Breathable Materials

Opt for organic cotton, linen, and wool for upholstery, bedding, curtains, and rugs. These materials are free from harmful chemicals and improve indoor air quality.

2. Invest in High-Quality, Timeless Furniture

Instead of fast furniture, select well-crafted, durable pieces (preferable Australian made) and from responsibly sourced wood or recycled materials. Sustainable furniture ensures longevity and reduces landfill waste – plus you will be sure to value them and love them for a lifetime. We love Brisbane based companies such as Jardan and Armadillo & Co.

3. Incorporate Biophilic Design

Connecting with nature indoors has been proven to reduce stress and boost well-being. Add indoor plants, natural textures, and earthy colour palettes to create a serene environment.

4. Maximise Natural Light & Ventilation

Strategically place mirrors to reflect natural light, use sheer curtains to soften glare, and ensure good airflow to maintain a healthy environment.

5. Consider Low-VOC Paints & Finishes

Many traditional paints and finishes release harmful chemicals. Low-VOC options contribute to better indoor air quality and a healthier home.
