Your Home could be Making you Sick
When we think of “toxic” we often imagine harsh chemicals and dangerous fumes, but many homes are full of hidden toxins we don’t even realise are there!

If it's a priority for you, it's a priority for us! When we're designing for your new building or renovation, we prioritise creating a low-tox environment that enhances your health and well-being, without compromising on style.
Here are some of the considerations we make to keep your home both beautiful and healthy:
Paint: Choose low-VOC or VOC-free paint. Your walls don’t need to give you a headache (literally).
Flooring: Say goodbye to vinyl and synthetic carpets. Opt for natural materials like hardwood, bamboo, or wool.
Furnishings: Look for low-toxic or organic furniture and textiles, like linen & cotton. Off-gassing from synthetic fabrics? Not in your home.
Air Quality: Install proper ventilation and invest in air purifiers. Your home should be a breath of fresh air, not a smog trap.
Lighting: Use energy-efficient bulbs and consider circadian lighting systems for well-being. Your body will thank you.
Detox Plants: Decorate with air-purifying plants like peace lilies or Boston ferns. These beauties don’t just look good, they help clean the air too!
Cleaning Products: Ditch the harsh chemical cleaners and switch to natural alternatives. No more scrubbing with toxic sludge!
Designing a healthy home isn’t just a trend, it’s a lifestyle.
With thoughtful planning, we can create a sanctuary where you, and your family, thrive.
