WHITE IS BACK

White is back! As pictured here, cool neutrals lend a sophisticated look. Also, white walls can be paired with bright colors for a fresh and new ambience.

BRIGHT BLUE OR...

Bright blue or turquoise hues add a punch to greyed neutrals. Add bright animal prints for a touch of whimsy.

Environmental Progress

This year's trends emphasizes our continued awareness of environmental issues and our desire to improve our economy. This year brings our focus more towards Eco-friendly and utilitarian design with more sustainable furniture and fabrics.

GREEN IS CHIC AND HERE TO STAY

All of us are becoming more conscious of our environment, we at Kathleen Barlow Interiors included.

What that means for us is that we are stewards of our environment and homes. We seek to reduce energy consumption and also reduce contaminants to our homes and work places. One way to do this is by using materials that use less energy to make and sustain.
Also we try to use local resources whenever possible to cut the cost and energy consumption of shipping from long distances.

Today at the current design markets and shows we are seeing more energy conscious and “Green” furniture, fabrics and flooring than ever before. Here is a list of just a few “Green”products:

  • Flooring and furniture made with reclaimed wood
  • Bamboo (which is completely renewable) furniture and wallcovering
  • Antiques or repurposed furniture
  • Solar Panels
  • Energy Efficient windows and doors

At Kathleen Barlow Interiors we can be your partners in creating a “green” and “clean” environment in your home or workplace.
