Sustainable and Salvaged Materials

Reclaimed timber beams, salvaged stone flooring, recycled steel, and bio-based materials like mycelium (mushroom) panels are moving from niche environmental choice to mainstream design statement. Designers like Ilse Crawford and Jurgen Bey have led a movement that treats the patina and history of salvaged materials as a form of beauty, and sustainability organisations report that "upcycled interiors" searches tripled between 2023 and 2025.
