Admire over the past 38 years.
At Admire Interiors & Commercial, we believe in creating more than just beautiful spaces – we believe in creating a better world. Our commitment to environmental responsibility is woven into the fabric of everything we do. We recognise the vital importance of preserving our planet for future generations, and we are dedicated to creating a positive impact on the environment through sustainable practices, innovation, and conscious decision-making.
Our team have taken measurable steps towards nurturing and maintaining the environment, and we have designed and built our new offices, showroom, and warehouse with an environmental consciousness in mind.
Plus our operations are designed to maximise energy efficiency, from manufacturing, to freight, to installation. Our new building also runs on solar energy and any unused power is directed back into the city grid.
We continue to implement the elements of “reduce, re-use, and recycle” throughout the office to reduce waste and we are continuously working to improve our manufacturing and delivery processes. We embrace up-cycling and repurposing to breathe new life into existing pieces, reducing the demand for new resources. Our team is dedicated to responsibly managing waste and recycling materials whenever possible.
As a mid-size business, we recognise our responsibility to our local community. We prioritise collaborating with local artisans, craftspeople, and suppliers, reducing transportation-related carbon emissions and supporting the growth of our community.
We are dedicated to environmentally responsible practices, offering eco-friendly options without compromising on style or quality. We stock a range of eco-friendly and recycled drapery and blind fabrics.
Admires journey towards environmental responsibility is a continuous one. We stay informed about the latest sustainable design practices and technologies, consistently seeking opportunities to enhance our eco-friendly initiatives.
