Ways to Host Environmental Design Discussion at Center’s Grand Opening
October 15
(Savage, MD/Washington, DC) – Washington-area eco-interior design leader, Design Scheme Interiors, LLC, (DSI) is spearheading an environmentally-savvy design movement in the Nation’s Capital at the new Center for Green Urbanism. The Center is one of the first “green model” business incubators in Washington, DC, offering office space, an art gallery, and a model for living green in an urban setting. During the Center’s Grand Opening on October 15, Certified Interior Environment Coach Sherry Burton-Ways, Design Principal of DSI, will host discussions about the eco-interior design choices used in the center and cost-effective ways to incorporate these elements into homes and offices.
“Design Scheme Interiors, LLC is proud to assist in beautifying the interior of the Center in an eco-friendly way! It is our hope that tenants and patrons of the center will appreciate the small interior enhancements designed to beautify the space while keeping the environment free from toxins,” said Principal Burton-Ways.
The Center for Green Urbanism feels like nature; the ambiance is tranquil. Eco-interior design choices such as energy-efficient ceiling fans; eco-friendly upholstery fabrics: low VOC wall coverings; reclaimed teak furniture; low-odor, environmentally-friendly paint; and solar shade window treatments make it an ideal space for small businesses, meetings, events and art showcases. When selecting the elements for design, Burton-Ways was sure to incorporate material that would leave a minimal carbon footprint.
