GOING green and making thoughtful design choices can be hugely rewarding, and resonates well with an eco-friendly lifestyle.

As Alysha Alli, group interior designer at Redrow puts it: "Sustainability starts with the choices we make when furnishing our homes.

"Opting for locally made or handmade pieces ensures you're supporting artisans, and reducing the environmental impact of mass production."

And while it may be tempting to buy budget-friendly items from fast retailers, Alysha says investing in higher-quality materials means your furniture will last longer and be crafted with durability in mind.

Alysha adds: "The rise of 'Japandi' and playful minimalism highlights a growing desire for interiors that balance comfort, style, and tranquility while also reducing environmental impact."
