The term sustainability is now coming up in many forums with individuals looking to execute tasks and work without causing harm to the environment. The same applies to interior design, where designers are looking to achieve sophisticated, modern, and contemporary aesthetics using sustainable materials. These are eco-friendly alternatives to other materials with great durability and affordability, giving new life to spaces. Tylko’s guide on sustainable materials provides a few insights into this, but here are several top choices.

Real Plants

Artificial plants are quite popular as they bring a sense of nature to a home with no maintenance required. However, they are primarily made of non-biodegradable plastics, which are among the highest-ranking pollutants to the environment. Real plants are a great substitute, bringing a fresh ambiance and natural element to your home or office. Care for plants is one of the best ways to care for the environment.

Organoid

It is a special kind of surface made from dry organic materials such as coffee, seeds, plants, and flowers. It poses no harm to the environment and provides a long-lasting solution for wall panels or part of furniture pieces. The best thing about them is incorporating scent into the board surface, making it smell like the product it is made from, for example, coffee. The appearance is beautiful and unique, yet the material is purposeful and sustainable.

Smile Plastics

Smile plastics use all kinds of waste plastic and recycles it into panels used in architecture and design. These panels are arranged by hand before being pressed and consolidated by machines making each panel different and striking to the eye. These panels make wonderful pieces in homes, offices, hospitals, auditoriums, and more while conserving the environment by using 100% recycled waste.

Seagrass

Seagrass makes great accent pieces, and an element of seagrass on any item instantly works some magic to space. From unique rugs to storage baskets, it makes a room feel chic without doing too much. It is also incorporated into furniture pieces, a good example of seagrass chairs that make good accent living room pieces. Seagrass is easily accessible from coastal waters posing no harm to environmental balance.

Travertine, Granite, and Marble

Anything that occurs naturally from nature is usually beautiful and authentic. These unique rocks are no exception and are famous for bathroom interiors, kitchen countertops, and more. With unique patterns and colours, they transform space significantly and provide a one-off solution for backsplashes, floors, countertops, and more.
