// CLIMATE TALK !!
THE WORLD IS NOW SLOWLY REALIZING THE SERIOUSNESS ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE . BEING A DESIGNER , WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON SUSTAINABLE PRACTICE IN ARCHITECTURE TODAY ?
PRIYANKA & SRI LAKSHMI : We feel , being an interior designer , the duty falls upon us to explain our clients about sustainability and nudge them to go for it . We can start off by using reclaimed or recycled materials . Using antique and vintage décor if you can , is an option for interior designers . Furniture and decorative items can be repurposed , refinished or otherwise refurbished to give them new life . Even carpets and fabrics can be made from recycled materials . Plan for energy-efficient lighting by cleverly incorporating windows and skylights to maximize the use of daylight and minimize artificial light . When artificial lighting is needed , LEDs and compact fluorescent light bulbs save energy and last longer . When you ’ re buying furniture or décor or even lights dig a little about the brand .
