About Us

Interior Design Declares is a network of interior design practices, suppliers of goods & services to our industry and educational establishments committed to addressing the climate and biodiversity emergency.

The Architect's Declares declaration by architects Steve Tompkins and Michael Pawlyn was launched on 30 May 2019 by the then 17 UK recipients of the Stirling Prize. It quickly attracted hundreds of other architectural practices from across the UK, and developed into the wider banner of ‘Built Environment Declares’, and since March 2021 has included Interior Design Declares. Built Environment Declares has now spread to more than 28 different countries, with over 7,000 signatories, and has been adopted by other built environment disciplines that have signed up to variations on the original 11-point declaration.

As with Architects Declares, Interior Design Declares is about encouragement, with every signatory organisation expected to self-govern its progress toward achieving the commitments it has made. On the basis that no single signatory is currently meeting every part of the radical commitment to change, a firm ‘no public blame and shame’ policy is in place.

Why Declare?

In the UK, Interior Design Declares offers support to its signatories, through events, shared best practice and coordinated responses to issues. We encourage our devolved network to take part in all of these endeavours.
Interior Design Declares is free to join.
Through Built Environment Declares, Interior Design Declares is developing international links with a growing number of signatories across the world, holding virtual meetings to explore opportunities for cross-cultural exchanges and collaborations.
Interior Design Declares is an industry recognised initiative, and many signatories are using the simplicity and clarity of the declaration as a catalyst to drive effective change within their organisations; many are also using it as a tool to demonstrate their commitment to combatting climate change in discussion with clients and collaborators.
Interior Design Declares is a collective voice, liaising with other industry-based organisations and networks, constructively engaging with clients and the architectural press. As we grow, we aim to liaise with government on these issues as well.

As a volunteer led programme we welcome donations to make our work possible.
