Oceanfront La Jolla Homes Get A Green Makeover

Your oceanfront La Jolla homes cannot be green on the outside without being green on the interior. But what does an interior designer really know about green design? It is a common misconception that interior designers do not know about green design-or that an interior designer who knows about green does not know about good design. Rubbish I say! You can have the best of both worlds in your oceanfront La Jolla homes.

Where Can You Find An Environmentally Savvy Designer?

Bernadette Upton, who is a pioneer in challenging these notions since the early days when "it was not easy being green", delivered the ASID presentation "Green Interior Design" at Metropolis magazine's Tropical Green Conference on sustainable building in Miami and other tropical zones, held on February 9-10, 2006 at Miami Dade College, Wolfson Campus.

Focusing on the role of indoor-air quality, Upton goes into detail on the responsibility of the interior designer for health and well-being, in addition to environmental sustainability. Every element of a new room has the potential to be part of a poisonous "toxic soup"-from the off-gasses of carpets to the volatile organic compounds found in paint-meaning that careless interior design can be truly harmful to humans, and especially babies. These and other considerations such as proper humidity levels that prevent dust mites have a profound impact on us as individuals, and an aggregate effect on society. Upton's insights offer examples and practical solutions for the conscious interior designer.
