Designing With Intention: Our Commitment to Sustainability

Ethically sourced. Environmentally mindful. Beautifully made.

At Sterling and Maple Design House, we believe that great design doesn’t just look good—it should also do good. That’s why we’re deeply committed to sourcing furniture, home goods, and décor that align with our values of sustainability, craftsmanship, and ethical responsibility.

As designers, curators, and collaborators, we see every piece we bring into a space as part of a larger story—a story of how things are made, where they come from, and who they impact along the way.

A Thoughtful Approach to Sourcing

We don’t believe in fast furniture or mass-market design. Instead, we prioritize:

• Natural and responsibly harvested materials

• Small-batch production and handmade craftsmanship

• Vendors and brands who share our environmental and ethical standards

  
  

Every piece in our curated collection is chosen with care—because we know that the way something is made matters just as much as how it looks.

Whether it's a sustainably harvested wood dining table, a hand-forged light fixture made in the U.S., or artisan textiles woven with organic fibers, our goal is to create interiors that are as sustainable as they are timeless.

Partnering with Like-Minded Makers

We actively seek out and support brands that lead with integrity—companies who value sustainability, transparency, and human dignity as much as we do.

One standout example is our partnership with Hubbardton Forge, a Vermont-based lighting manufacturer that:

• Produces each piece to order in their solar-powered facility

• Sources locally and responsibly

• Maintains ethical labor practices and environmental stewardship

  
  

This is just one of the many partnerships that allow us to offer our clients beautiful products without compromise.

Conscious Interiors for Everyday Living

Sustainability isn’t a box we check—it’s woven into everything we do, from the products we recommend to the vendors we build relationships with. It also informs the way we design:

• Encouraging fewer but better investments in timeless pieces

• Supporting local and domestic makers

• Helping clients create spaces that last, both stylistically and physically

  
  

By choosing thoughtfully made furnishings and ethical vendors, we ensure that every space we design is not just beautiful, but meaningful.

A Future We’re Proud to Be Part Of

We believe in building homes that feel good—for you, for the makers, and for the planet. At Sterling and Maple Design House, sustainability isn’t just part of our mission. It’s our promise.

We’re proud to serve clients who care about where their pieces come from and how they’re made. If you're looking to create a home with heart, story, and intention, we’d love to help you get there.

Let’s design a better future—one space at a time.
