  • Are you Net Zero?
    Embleton Interiors is a one-of-a-kind interior shop that takes sustainability seriously. We are proud to be Barnard Castle's first net-zero gift and interiors store. We have won awards for our commitment to sustainability and our dedication to ethical practices. Here are some of the ways we are making a difference: - Net Zero: We have taken steps to reduce our carbon footprint and offset any remaining emissions to achieve net-zero status. - Invest in overseas renewable energy: We invest in renewable energy projects overseas to reduce our impact on the environment. - Tree planting: We support tree planting initiatives to help restore forests and combat climate change. We also opt to stock products made from wood that has been grown and cared for by farmers and not from wild woodlands and forests, this is the case with all our Mango and Bamboo woods as well as using driftwood locally sourced from northeast beaches for our mirrors, house decorations and much more. - Made from recycled materials: We use recycled materials whenever possible to create our products. - Locally made fabrics: Our fabrics are all locally made, printed, and often contain waste from the local area. For example all our velvet fabric is made locally, printed just 40 miles from the shop and is using Teasdale Plastic Bottles that would have otherwise gone to landfill. - Minimizing wastage: We are committed to minimizing wastage and opt for sustainable packaging whenever possible. Awards: We have recently won the International Sustainability Award through Luxury Lifestyle Awards based at The One World Trade Centre in New York and have been given the 'Most outstanding sustainable and luxury home furnishings' in the UK.
