Why choose Ziboh Interiors?

Many retailers claim to sell ‘green’ products, but not everything is as virtuous as it appears at first glance. Most products are still mass produced and shipped from the other side of the planet. Worse still, they can contain plastics, even when you wouldn’t expect.

The same can be said for most interior design companies, who sell a few token sustainable products, as well as a vast array of products that are far from green. In my book, that’s not good enough. To be a sustainable interior designer, you should never offer clients products that are damaging to the planet.

Based here on the Isle of Wight, I supply nothing but sustainable and eco friendly products to clients.

I put sustainability at the forefront of my work, bringing a more responsible approach to interior design. I only offer my clients products that come from companies who manufacture according to the principles of longevity and sustainability.

I question everything. Where was a product is made? Who made it and were the workers treated well and paid a fair wage. What is something made from? Are there any nasty chemicals? Can it be fully recycled at the end of its useful life? Is it biodegradable?

It’s impossible to be 100% perfect – and that’s not what I’ve set out to be – but I will do my upmost to only offer my customers sustainable and ethical products that have a lower impact on our planet, buying from manufacturers who share my values.

After every project, I donate a proportion to an ethical tree planting cause. Not one that has a monoculture method of planting – that is not beneficial to nature, and is a form of greenwashing. I choose organisations that align with my values, and rotate between National Trust, The Tree Council, Woodland Trust and Trees for Cities.

Or if you have a sustainable, ethical or local charity in mind, then I am happy to consider that too.
