With a love of reclaimed and vintage furniture and props, our practice is naturally sustainable. However, as a business, we are always looking for ways to improve. Here are some of the ways we stay green at Nikkita Palmer Designs:

• Where possible we use water-based spray paints which are better for the planet

• We recycle our used batteries rather than sending them to landfill

• We provide 100% recycled cans of water for our teams on site and encourage the use of reusable water bottles

• We use a service to sharpen our old tool blades where possible to avoid sending them to landfills

• Where possible we source office and warehouse supplies from second-hand sources e.g. racking, desks, dishwashers etc

• We cut and bag up our scrap wood to use as kindling which we also distribute to family, friends and neighbours

• We supply our sawdust to animal shelters and friends and family with chickens

• We buy recycled rags to use for cleaning and workshop-based jobs. We also reuse any old materials from our personal waste here too. 

• We source and use reclaimed timber for our furniture manufacture

• Our props and decor are sourced from vintage where possible 

• Due to the nature of our furniture and props, we work hard to restore and maintain items to keep them in our inventory for longer

• We upcycled wooden furniture to keep it on trend and to allow it to be multi-use

• We have a new paperless inventory system 

• Our main van is zero emissions 

• We regularly source from salvage yards for more unusual or bulk items including reusable plywood, doors, fixings and fittings

• We have just moved closer to the workshop in order to walk to work to reduce emissions
