Choosing vintage and antique furniture over new is a powerful, sustainable response to today’s culture of overconsumption and waste. In a world where so much is needlessly used and discarded, opting for pre-loved pieces is not only an eco-conscious decision, it’s a meaningful one.

​

These items offer more than just longevity and character. The process of sourcing them is often rewarding, educational, and deeply personal.

​

At Design by Davies, we take pride in restoring and reusing vintage furniture and decor—giving each piece a second life while reducing waste and keeping valuable materials out of landfill. Our goal is to combine style, function, and environmental responsibility, offering pieces that bring lasting charm to your home without compromising the planet.

 

Our Commitment to Sustainability

We’re always looking for ways to do better. Here are a few of the steps we take to reduce our impact:

• We use energy-saving lighting throughout our premises.

• We minimise waste wherever possible and recycle consistently.

• Our electricity is supplied by Octopus, a certified green energy provider.

• We prioritise VOC-free, water-based oils and paints for restoration work.

• We actively conserve both water and electricity in our studio.

• Our packaging consists of recycled cardboard, either donated to us or sourced from LOOP, which provides 100% recycled and recyclable materials.

Together, small choices lead to meaningful change.
