Written by Sophie Clemson
At The Living House, we love to discover sustainable brands when designing for our customers. We are often asked by our customers to design their rooms with sustainability in mind. This can range from finding pre-loved furniture on Facebook Marketplace to eco-friendly paint and sofa fabrics.
We can shop from anywhere, so if caring for our planet is high on your agenda too, we have shared five of our favourite sustainable brands.

It's probably an odd thing for an interior designer to say, but I don't think everyone needs an interior designer.
If you love spending your evenings researching furniture, have a clear idea of what you want, enjoy working through floor plans and can confidently make decisions about colour, scale, lighting and everything else that goes into a room, you may be absolutely fine doing it yourself.
And if you're painting a bedroom, replacing a chair or making a few small changes to a room you already love, paying a designer may not make much sense at all.
But there comes a point with bigger home projects when the question starts to change.
You're no longer wondering whether you could do it yourself. You're wondering whether you actually want to spend the next six months doing it yourself, and whether you're confident enough to make some fairly expensive decisions without knowing for certain how everything is going to come together.
That's usually when we hear from people.
They have good taste. They've saved plenty of inspiration. They know the sort of homes they love. What they don't necessarily have is the time, experience or headspace to turn all those ideas into one finished room.
So, is hiring an interior designer worth it?
