Sustainable home style for contented summer living

As summer settles in and we spend more time outdoors, it’s a perfect moment to reflect
on the choices we make when it comes to our homes and how they impact the
environment. From the rugs beneath your feet to the throws your loved ones and friends
pull around their shoulders on cooler evenings, small decisions add up, especially when
they support a more sustainable lifestyle.

At Heugah Interiors, we love finding brands that embody thoughtful design. That means
they make pieces that not only look beautiful but are made to last, crafted from natural
or recycled materials and produced with care. When you shop responsibly, you’re
investing in products with lower environmental impact and it’s even better when that’s
coupled with an eye-catching design or busy-home-friendly features. This month, we’re
spotlighting a few of the eco-conscious brands we’re proud to carry.

Liv Interiors: softness reimagined

You’d never guess it, but the rugs, throws and cushions in Liv Interior’s indoor/outdoor
collection are made from recycled PET plastic bottles. Through a clever weaving
process, Liv Interiors turns waste into a surprisingly soft yet supremely practical fabric.
The results are kind to the planet, come in a gorgeous range of colours and patterns
and they’re resistant to UV, water and stains too, making them ideal for high-traffic
rooms, patios or picnic outings.

Braided Rug Co

The Braided Rug Co. offers a distinct, eco-friendly range of100% jute rugs: a timeless, tactile choice made from one of the toughest and most biodegradable natural fibres around. Perfect for grounding a room with rustic charm and a conscience.

Lorena Canals: washable wool wonders

With its Woollable range, Lorena Canals brings together fun design, style, practicality and sustainability. Made from natural wool and cotton, these beautiful rugs are fully machine washable, so there’s no need to replace them over time due to spills or everyday wear. They come in a range of styles, some perfect for kids’ rooms and others the perfect finishing touch for grown up spaces. They’re all long-lasting, low-waste and delightfully soft underfoot.

Kirkby Design: textiles with a twist

Even some of our cosiest throws are getting a sustainable makeover – take the Segment Recycled Havana throw from Kirkby Design. A trio of fleecy triangles forms its modern geometric design, while the fibres it’s made from are anything but ordinary: it’s woven from 75% recycled wool and 25% recycled polyester sourced from the fashion industry. Finished with an on-trend blanket stitch edge, we think this throw is a stylish and sustainable way to layer up when the sun goes down this season.

From recycled materials to natural fibres, every product you choose for your home makes a difference. Luckily, with these beautiful, sustainable pieces, you won’t have to compromise on style to tread a little lighter this summer.
