Great news! Alongside 8 other UK Interior design practices, Persona Abode is a founding signatory of Interior Design Declares. It’s OK, I don’t imagine you to wear the excitement especially when you’re wondering what Interior Design Declares.

What is Interior Design Declares?

The construction industry has much dirt on its hands as it accounts for a whopping 40% of energy-related carbon emissions. Embedded into the fold is the interior design sector. However, given the ever-evident consequences of past design choices, there has never been a more important time to change behaviours.

Collectively, positive change can happen at a much faster rate. With that in mind, 9 UK interior design practices founded the interiors arm of the Construction Declares umbrella to start shifting current practices.

The Pledge

Creating a safe and healthy future calls for action today. The pledge shows the commitment to do better to benefit the individual projects that designers work on and the future of our planet. As it’s early days, there’s much planning to take place and action steps to take.

What’s Next

The plan is to reach out to the design industry, spreading awareness of the repercussions of making unsustainable choices and finding solutions to complex dilemmas. As such, others joining the pledge can be interior designers and suppliers to the industry. Stay tuned!
