SUSTAINABLE, HANDMADE PIECES ~ Elle Decor & Domino

“Items made by hand using sustainable materials … in 2019. We see people needing these grounding elements in their homes as a way to feel more in touch with the earth and their roots.” — Kristen Peña of K Interiors

Sustainability is a movement that is becoming more widespread than ever, especially as it pertains to design — and come 2019, it will be an overarching theme that will be all too present. The concept of living a more eco-conscious lifestyle has become ingrained in the methodology of many designers, especially when it relates to how they approach their craft.

“We find that our approach to the things we surround ourselves with is shifting towards a longevity-focused one,” — Christian Grose, Muuto’s design director, adding that this, in turn, is “prompting us to buy designs that will last for years into the future, both in their quality and aesthetic.”

Similarly, in line with sustainable living, the idea of investing in key, standout pieces that will last the test of time, be it decoratively or simply for quality, is an approach we can definitely get behind on.
