This month, we're focusing on a unique development in home decor trends that is shaping how people are designing and living in homes in 2019 and beyond - the key word: sustainability. Elle Decor interviewed industry heads and they all agreed that sustainability is sweeping the design world, and being strategic and purposeful when designing and curating your home is the key ingredient to following that ethos. Home owners are now more than ever asking the questions, 'Who are you purchasing from?' 'What values do they stand for?' and  'What type of materials are used?

We are a machine- and technology-driven society, but nostalgic about past processes and handiwork, so opportunities for custom Millwork and crafted materials are very important. Pieces made by hand using sustainable materials like jute, rice paper, and clay will all be en vogue  in 2019.
