• 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, andLong 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, its
  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

  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!

• Todays 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

• 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!
