Spotlight Series: Simone Suss on “Sustainability Starts at Home”
September is Sustainability month and while sustainability is a complex area, making sure that your home runs off greener energy, is properly insulated, and its fittings and furniture are ethically sourced is a good place to start. Swapping energy providers to one that runs off renewable energy, reducing draught, moving to LED lighting, upcycling furniture and sourcing environmentally-friendly materials all contribute to making your home a more sustainable place to live. Simone Suss, experienced interior designer and head of Studio Suss, renowned for its timeless aesthetic and sustainable approach to design, joins us to share her perspective on creating beautiful homes that stand apart thanks to natural materials and sustainable procedures.
