Celebrating sustainable interiors at the Sustainability Awards 2025

The Interior Design category at the Sustainability Awards 2025, sponsored by GH Commercial, recognises outstanding renovations and fit outs that prioritise sustainability in material selection, spatial efficiency, and energy consumption.

As buildings age, interior spaces require adaptation to meet modern needs while reducing environmental impact. This category highlights projects that successfully reimagine existing spaces through innovative and sustainable solutions. 

Whether transforming an office, retail space, hospitality venue, or residential interior, the focus is on designs that reduce waste, enhance energy efficiency, and create healthier indoor environments.

Sustainability in interior design encompasses several key elements, including the responsible selection of materials, optimised use of natural light and ventilation, and minimising pollution and waste. 

Projects that incorporate low-impact materials, energy-efficient systems, and flexible layouts contribute to long-term sustainability by extending the lifespan of a space while lowering operational costs and resource consumption.

Recognition in this category provides an opportunity to showcase leadership in sustainable interior design. Winning or being shortlisted demonstrates expertise in creating interior spaces that not only meet functional and aesthetic goals but also align with global sustainability standards.

GH Commercial, as the category sponsor, is committed to promoting environmentally responsible interior solutions. With a focus on sustainable flooring and design innovation, GH Commercial supports projects that prioritise durability, recyclability, and reduced environmental impact. 

Their involvement underscores the importance of integrating sustainability into every element of an interior space, from materials to energy performance.

As the Sustainability Awards 2025 continue to recognise projects that redefine the future of sustainable design, the Interior Design category will highlight interiors that achieve a seamless balance between beauty, function, and environmental responsibility. 

By embracing innovative approaches to renovation and fit-out projects, architects and designers are leading the way in transforming interior spaces for a more sustainable future.
