Edward Bulmer and Jules Haines, founder of Haines Collection, talk about reducing waste in the interiors industry in the new Haines Collection YouTube must see series ‘Sustainable Interiors’.

Much like us Haines Collection are a small business with big plans to positively change the negative impact interior businesses can have on the planet. With this shared vision and determination came the meeting of two pioneering minds, with our founder, colourman and eco warrior, Edward talking in this debut airing of the series.

Edward shares his thoughts on the modern paint industry and how there is still much to be done in regards to ‘greenwashing‘. It is an open, honest and inspiring conversation about how we can all find ways of sourcing responsibly.⁠ We are honoured to share this first episode of ‘Sustainable Interiors’ with Haines Collection with you – watch below!

Haines Collection are a pioneering platform for the resale of fabric offcuts that would otherwise most likely be headed to landfill. Founder and Director Jules Haines is on a journey of discovery – how to design and source for your home in a more sustainable way. We were delighted Jules asked our Founder Edward Bulmer to take part in this six part series.

Haines Collection have become a favourite supplier and first port of call for the team at Edward Bulmer Natural Paint.  Aside from their ethical and eco ethos, there are incredible high end designer fabrics at a fraction of the cost; Christopher Farr, Colefax & Fowler, Linwood & Rapture & Wright to name a few –  often at 50% off RRPs – what is not to love! The website and Instagram page have fast become a ‘go-to’ for designers and homeowners alike sourcing beautiful surplus fabrics, wallpapers, lights and accessories, all fabrics are listed with available meterage with personal advice on hand and new stock every Monday.

Thank you so much to Jules and all at Haines Collection, there has never been a more important time to share how we can all make some small changes which have a big impact on our environment and for our planet. ⁠If you don’t already do check out Haines Collection and follow them on Instagram.
