Sustainable Interior Design

As a Leadership of Energy Efficient Design Accredited Professional (LEED AP), sustainable design is of the utmost importance here at Kati Curtis Design. Many times, people think sustainability in interior design is not a priority or simply don’t think about it, but especially in these times, clean living is something you just can’t compromise on. Here at Kati Curtis Design, we believe clean living is not only attainable, but beautiful, vibrant, and luxurious. Just like we take care of our bodies with the food we eat and good exercise, taking care of our homes ensures that you and your family are safe and healthy.

Minimizing Waste

Next to fashion, the home furnishings industry is one of the most wasteful sectors of our economy. Most furniture companies cut corners, fill their pieces with cheap fixes, and do not spend the time to make sure the quality will last. Here at Kati Curtis Design, we are dedicated to finding pieces that will last a lifetime and can be passed down to your children and family. We revive beautiful vintage pieces to give them new life, and create custom, one-of-a-kind pieces with nontoxic finishes and long-lasting materials to ensure a long lifecycle. Our NYC interior design firm works tirelessly to create the highest quality designs so that your furniture is not in a landfill come 10 years from now.

Chemical Free

The finishes and furniture in a standard home are filled with harmful toxins and chemicals! Working with an expert in sustainable interior design means you can have peace of mind knowing your paint is non toxic, your wood trim is created with formaldehyde free glue, and your furniture does not have off gas. Many times, we have clients come to us who never used to think about the chemicals in their home, but a few years after moving into an older home, are having mysterious illnesses, or their pets or kids are playing with the paint on the wall and getting sick. Your home is meant to be a safe space, and we work tirelessly to ensure every member of your family is staying safe and healthy.

Energy Efficiency

Last but not least, a sustainable home is an efficient home. Our team of NYC interior designers are experts at fitting your home for the most energy efficiency possible. From lighting and shade control, to water and air filtration, to finding the most effective HVAC system for your home, we make sure your home is energy efficient for the environment, and cost efficient on your electric bills. Good for the environment and good for your family!
