Whether you’re moving into a new home or looking to revamp your current space, there are plenty of ways to do so sustainably and consciously.

If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that our personal living spaces matter, but it shouldn’t cost the earth (literally) to create the stylish, comfortable havens we need.

Sustainable home design is more achievable than you might think, and with the right know-how, you can strike the perfect balance between investment pieces and cost-effective interior upgrades.

But what are the trends worth knowing about now, and what’s new in sustainable interiors? Carpet Court are on hand to help you explore your options:

Whether at the local market, secondhand and antique furniture stores, op-shops or garage sales, think about where you can find items to reuse first and foremost.

You’ll be surprised by what you can find, and in many instances, you might even find a hidden gem or two that’s perfect for your space and completely unique.

Resale sites like Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace are also worth looking at for a bargain find or two.

You don’t always have to buy new or seek out more items to refresh your living space.

Sometimes rethinking about what you currently have and how it can be moved, tweaked or upgraded in some way can revolutionise your space.

Carpets and rugs might just need a deep clean, at-home dye kits can breathe new life into fabrics, and a fresh coat of paint can help pull everything together. Instead of replacing something that’s broken, try to think about how you might be able to repurpose it creatively.

Many community centres also run monthly repair workshops, where others share their repair skills to help keep things functional and out of landfill.

Focusing on natural materials has two key benefits:

Many interior brands prioritise eco-friendly production, including rugs and furnishings in natural fabrics such as wool, cotton and PET Recycled plastic.

Recycling materials like plastic and nylon has come a long way. Plenty of stylish options are hitting the market, including Carpet Court’s exclusive new eco-friendly flooring options, such as their ECONYL® regenerated nylon carpet range.

Made from 100 per cent recycled yarn through recovered nylon waste products – including fishing nets, fabric scraps and carpets destined for landfill – Carpet Court’s eleven exclusive ranges featuring ECONYL® regenerated nylon come in an array of on-trend colours, textures, and styles.

It’s the perfect product to help you make a thoughtful, eco-friendly decision for your home without sacrificing design or durability.
