Frequently Asked Questions
What is healthy interior design?
Healthy interior design goes beyond aesthetics—it ensures that your home or workspace is beautiful and supports your health. This means using non-toxic, low/zero-VOC finishes, natural materials, and thoughtful design strategies that reduce exposure to harmful chemicals, allergens, and pollutants.
Why do you work with a building biologist?
A building biologist assesses the health of your indoor environment, focusing on air quality, moisture, mould, electromagnetic fields, and chemical exposure. By collaborating with a building biologist, I can design spaces that are not only visually stunning but also truly safe and supportive for your wellbeing.
Who benefits most from healthy interior design?
Healthy interiors are beneficial for everyone, but especially for:
Families with children
People with allergies, asthma, or chemical sensitivities
Those who have experienced health issues linked to mold or toxins
Anyone wanting a sustainable, chemical-free home environment
How does the process work?
Consultation – We discuss your needs, style, and wellness priorities.
Assessment – The building biologist evaluates your home’s indoor environment.
Design – I create a tailored design plan that blends your style with the healthiest possible finishes.
Implementation – Together, we source materials and guide trades to achieve the best result.
Can you help with renovations as well as new builds?
Yes! Whether you’re renovating a single room, refreshing your interiors, or designing a new home, I can help integrate healthy, sustainable choices into any stage of your project.
Do you offer consultations only?
Yes! While many clients choose full-service design, I also offer consultations only for those who simply need expert advice and direction. Consultations are ideal if you’re renovating a single room, planning an entire house transformation, or even working on a new build. Depending on the scope of your project, it may take several consultations to refine the right finishes and create the perfect ambiance. This way, you can move forward with confidence, knowing you’re making the healthiest and most stylish choices for your home—without needing to commit to a full design service.
Do healthy finishes cost more?
Not always. Some non-toxic and sustainable materials may be more expensive upfront, but they’re often longer lasting, better for your health, and reduce medical costs linked to poor indoor environments. Many options are also comparable in price to conventional finishes.
What kinds of materials do you use?
I select finishes and materials that are:
Low/zero-VOC paints, sealers, adhesives…
Natural flooring options like timber, cork…
Non-toxic cabinetry and furniture without harmful resins, flame retardants…
Sustainable textiles like organic cotton, hemp, linen…
These choices help create spaces that are kinder to your health and the environment.
Can healthy design still be stylish?
Absolutely! Healthy design doesn’t mean compromising on beauty. My role is to find the perfect balance between aesthetic vision and wellness—so your space looks stunning, feels welcoming, and enhances your lifestyle.
