What can stay?
Identify furniture, appliances or architectural features you want to retain at the start. Their condition and compatibility will help determine what can be incorporated.
THOUGHTFUL CHOICES FOR YOUR HOME
Sustainability & considered interiors
MATERIALS, USE AND LONGEVITY
Look beyond the surface.
The material beneath a finish, the resources a product uses and the way it can be cared for all deserve a place when choosing kitchens and bathrooms for your home. We want to make those questions easier to ask.
Obsidian is part of the Bence family business. In its 170th-anniversary statement in 2024, Paul Bence spoke about the importance of sustainability alongside commercial success. For an individual interior, the useful next step is specific: understand the products being proposed and choose them with your home’s needs in mind.
PRODUCT-SPECIFIC INFORMATION
A closer look at kitchen materials.
Rotpunkt, one of the manufacturers featured in our kitchen design service, publishes information about its Greenline BioBoard Gen2. The manufacturer states that this board uses up to 90% recycled wood. Ask us to check which cabinet and front options use it in your proposed kitchen: a material specification applies to the relevant product, rather than automatically to every part of a room.

AFTER THE INSTALLATION
Plan for everyday use and care.
Compare appliance energy information and the water-use specifications for taps and showers in your bathroom design. Think about cleaning, replacement parts and access for maintenance. Our care and maintenance guidance explains why the manufacturer’s instructions should stay with your final specification.

Make the specification count.
What is it made from?
Ask for the relevant material, sourcing and certification information for the products in your quotation. Compare the actual specification rather than relying on a broad environmental label.
How will it last?
Discuss care requirements, repair options and replacement components. A finish that suits your household is easier to look after through everyday use.
