Sienna Guillory, designer at Carrier Company, shares some valuable tips for creating an eco-friendly home.
Sienna advocates for the reuse of furniture and decoration items, emphasising the charm and character that second-hand pieces bring to a home.
From local antique shops to online marketplaces, there are countless opportunities to find unique treasures that align with your style and values.
When it comes to painting interiors, Sienna recommends opting for eco-friendly paint brands like Earthborn Paints and Little Greene.
These brands offer a wide range of colours without compromising on quality or environmental impact.

Insulating your home is essential for energy efficiency and comfort.
Sienna's clever hack involves sourcing wool-lined curtains from online marketplaces like eBay.
By setting up alerts for specific measurements, she ensures that she finds quality curtains that provide both insulation and style.
Avoid the pitfall of creating a space that feels too showroom-like by mixing modern pieces with vintage finds.
Sienna advises against adhering strictly to a single aesthetic, instead encouraging a blend of styles that reflects your personality and journey.
