October 07, 2009
Demonstrating a talent for turning drab spaces into stylish, environmentally sustainable interiors, Nicole Facciuto, LEED AP, of HGTV’s Red Hot and Green, has inspired viewers and homeowners with her spirited on-camera presence and passion for green design. As founder and principal of her bi-coastal design firm, Nicole Facciuto Design, Facciuto strives to create beautiful, livable spaces that meet her clients’ aesthetic, functional and economic goals while respecting the environment. For Facciuto, embracing eco-friendly living began while growing up on an organic walnut farm in Northern California. “Green has always been close to my heart,” she said.
Being aware of the surrounding environment is the most important step when choosing environmentally conscious products, according to Facciuto. “Take your time to find products that fit your needs and consider how they will impact the environment,” she said. “There’s so much to choose from; going green now spans all design styles.” One of her favorite products is Tiger Mountain Innovations’ Squak Mountain Stone countertops [1], which can take on the industrial look of concrete or the rustic appearance of slate, but are made from low-carbon cement, recycled paper and recycled glass.
