Looking After the Planet, One Beautiful Room at a Time
At Barradale Design, caring for the planet is always at the heart of what we do. We believe that creating a beautiful home shouldn’t mean compromising the environment and luckily, it doesn’t have to. The world of interior design is brimming with talented furniture makers who share our passion for sustainability. These creatives are proving that style and sustainability can and should go hand in hand.
Take Another Country, for example. Their stunning furniture is a testament to thoughtful, responsible design. Every piece is made using FSC-certified wood, ensuring that forests are responsibly managed and not depleted. But their commitment doesn’t stop there. They think far beyond the point of sale, offering repair and restoration services to keep your furniture beautiful and functional for years to come.
Their sustainability credentials are some of the best in the business:
Carbon neutral operations
Tree planting initiatives that exceed what they use
Local manufacturing and made-to-order models to cut waste
Proud biodiversity partners with the Heal Rewilding Scheme, a fantastic British initiative restoring nature and wildlife habitats
It’s companies like Another Country that give us hope and inspiration. Their pieces are not only beautifully crafted, but they’re also built with the planet in mind.
There are many other UK interior brands that share the ethos of Another Country. Together they are helping to shape a more sustainable future for interior design.

Choosing sustainable furniture is more than a design decision, it’s a value statement. Whether it’s a table, chair, or shelving system, these UK makers ensure you can furnish your home in a way that respects the planet and supports local craftsmanship.
Until next time, keep it green and grounded.
