As part of the worldwide fight to combat climate change, eco design has become a fully developed movement within the realm of interior design. It is more than just recycling, reducing energy use and reusing products and materials. Eco design can be used to generate stylish spaces that work in harmony with the surrounding natural environment.

The principle may be quite simple; however, balancing costs, functionality and design style can be daunting. Fortunately, we now have an expanding amount of available “green” products so that even the smallest changes can make a big difference in improving the environmental friendliness of your home.

Here are some steps you can take towards achieving better and greener living spaces:

  • Look for products and furnishings that come from sustainable forest wood which is both durable and has low-toxicity
  • Choose low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) paints
  • Buy local and vintage furnishings
  • Replace light bulbs and look for energy efficient lighting systems
  • Create an efficient recycling centre in your home
  • Reuse and reinvent furniture and accessories
  • Use steam and biodegradable, homemade or natural products for cleaning
  • Reduce your energy consumption
  • When it comes to construction, renovation, design and decor, I always strive to create spaces that flow with one another and with the property as a whole. My vision and practice of eco design also considers the connection between the home and the surrounding environment. Functionality and comfort can be achieved by using the right combination of different materials that fit within the “green” framework. In this way, eco design can embrace the principle of economic, social and ecological sustainability without sacrificing style.

    Unique Surroundings is the premier destination for “unique” memory gifts and one of a kind, decorative displays of photographs and memorabilia for home decor. Combining our own brands, such as Baby Shoebox Memories & Newborn Family Frames, along with other fresh, innovative products, we provide alternatives to the traditional ways of displaying photos and other memories.

    Our Baby Shoebox Memories brand was created to display those first precious baby shoes in a way that helps preserve, not only the shoes, but maybe more importantly, the memory itself. Rather than cover the shoes in a chemical that takes away all of their character, our displays leave them in the same condition as they were when worn by the child. These boxes are custom built by Unique Surroundings and are available in several different styles. Each box includes personalization and has many options from which to choose.

    Unique Surroundings is also the exclusive home of the Newborn Family brand of custom frames designed specifically for those adorable newborn infant portraits. They include free personalization and a variety of options, making them a great gift for a new family.

    With many other products such as photo books, photo transfer kits, angel gifts, photo gifts, and much more, you are sure to find that perfect gift for any occasion. We continue to create and search for new products, not found anywhere else, that make your surroundings unique. Unique Surroundings. Unique like…You!
