Our Commitment to Ethical Sustainable Design

      At Smart Space Interiors, we believe that people who choose small space living shouldn’t have to sacrifice comfort, beauty, or dignity.  We are committed to making compact homes feel more functional, stylish and inviting.  The company is guided by the core values of sustainability, community impact, and affordability because we believe ethical business practices and transparency are essential to building a relationship with the community we serve. 

      Sustainability is part of our design philosophy.  The company uses eco-friendly materials and processes to reduce the carbon footprint wherever possible.  We utilize the guidelines set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency when selecting materials for our products.  We also follow their guidelines in selecting packaging and managing waste. The company policy on locally sourced materials and products was created with sustainability in mind.  A recent study published in Supply Chain Management found that local sourcing of materials and products greatly improves the efficiency of transportation flow and reduces the generation of byproducts such as packaging and Carbon Dioxide.  By using local suppliers, the company can reduce the amount of waste and pollution involved in sourcing abroad.    

      Sourcing products locally aligns with our commitment to community.  Los Angeles County has a huge amount of minority owned businesses who have a harder time securing capital to grow their business (Milken Institute).  Purchasing from these local businesses gives them a better chance for success and helps uplift the community.  We also support the community through non-profit organizations and local real estate organizations.  Our work is guided by the ongoing efforts of the Los Angeles Housing Department to expand housing access. 

      Our final core value is affordability.  We understand that many people choose to live in small spaces to save money and cannot afford the premium costs involved with designer furniture and décor.  Our company is family owned with limited employee overhead expenses.  We depend on word-of-mouth advertising and customer referrals instead of expensive marketing campaigns.  The money saved on advertising and wages gets passed on to our customers.   Through our commitment to sustainability, community, and affordability, we hope to make our happy customers into advocates as we continue to serve this community.
