What makes our design consultations “Cruelty Free?”

A key component of understanding our interior design consultation is to understand that we always go in with the intention of a “Cruelty Free,” state of mind.  Our goal is to understand exactly what your needs are for you, your family and your health.

Initial questions begin with asking questions about your family and your lifestyle.  Allergies for family members are identified, (if any) and we start to explain ways in which we can help reduce sensitivities.

Once we have addressed any current health concerns or issues, we start to break down the different types of materials that would be useful in your home.

With all consultations we outline what the design aesthetics are to make your project come together.  Uncovering all of the myths about leathers, and toxic materials opens up the conversation about alternative materials.  

“We spend 90% of our time indoors and home is the environment you have most control over. However, toxic chemicals make their way into the homes like uninvited guests. Chemicals are all over new furniture, sprayed onto floor coverings and are even those super cozy pillows on your bed. Those chemicals which were absorbed into materials and furnishing unfortunately don’t remain in one place. Instead they are released as gas by evaporation, this process is called off gassing. Have you ever noticed that funny smell when you buy new clothes or a rug even? Our nose is rather sensitive to that ‘new’ smell and we have to wait until it disappears. In the meantime those fumes are floating around in the atmosphere and we’re breathing in all in.” Vegandesign.org
