new construction serves as the backdrop for an amazing transformation in the heart of the Long Island Sound. The homeowners, a young family with two children, were in the process of completing work on a “green” home when they realized they needed some help with the interior design work. Wanting to ensure that their home would be both comfortable yet environmentally sound, they turned to the experts at Linda Ruderman Interiors for guidance. “The family was building a home that met the strict guidelines of green design” explains interior designer Linda Ruderman. “So I worked closely with them to select items designed for sustainable living.” Doing so meant using natural materials such as banana leaf and hemp whenever possible. Linda’s team also worked closely with the builders and architects to make sure that all materials were either repurposed or disposed of in a sustainable fashion.

Because the family enjoys entertaining guests, Linda’s team worked to ensure that the furnishings were sturdy enough to withstand the myriad functions the family regularly held. This meant introducing items like the oversize couch in the main family room, which was custom-built specifically for lounging. Carefully upholstered with indoor/outdoor fabrics, it provides the perfect setting for both kids and adults.
