Where You Work: Jute Interior Design
The concept of nontoxic design has been central to your business and brand ethos for the past
15 years. Could you explain what this means and how we can all keep it in mind as we focus on
our own spaces?
The easiest tip is to be really mindful while purchasing things for your home. Ask yourself if you really need it and if the answer is yes, stick with materials that came from the earth. In my new book, Live Natural we provide actionable, approachable tips on easy swaps to make at home, as well as materials you can source for building and renovating your home.
How do you think the landscape of interior design (and interior designers) has changed in
recent years?
Social media has definitely made it more accessible to become an interior designer. But I think there are people out there doing great work who just don't love to be on their phones, and whose work you don't see as much of, because of it. Typically really creative people want flow and space and that feels like the opposite of today's culture.
Who are a few entrepreneurs in other industries who inspire you or whose careers you like to
follow?
I love GOOP, Zach Bush, and Lacy Phillips of To Be Magnetic.
Where do you look for design inspiration?
Travel, always.
