Design Philosophy & Ideals
First Impressions by Julie Wagner firmly believes we have a responsibility to protect our environment as much as possible. That’s why we always keep sustainability top of mind when working with a client.
That’s why we recommend and use natural products that are energy efficient from renewable resources.
We also design your new space with your own existing pieces. For example, upcycling and designing with antiques.
We also specify new pieces that are long-lasting and will not end up in a landfill. And, we always recommend quality, solid wood, and cleanable performance fabrics.
Lastly, as much as possible, we buy local to energize the local economy and avoid shipping costs.
We want your design experience with us to be a good one for you and for the planet!
