How Arteriors Approaches Eco-Friendly Materials and Sustainable Practices

Arteriors states on its website that it is "committed to using eco-friendly materials and sustainable practices" alongside "impeccable service and concern for the planet." That commitment sits inside its core business: custom wall finishes and mural arts for hospitality, commercial, and residential interiors. If you are specifying finishes for a project and need to know what that promise actually covers, the practical answer is that the site names the commitment and points to material families such as American Clay, but it does not publish a product-by-product sustainability breakdown — so the specific material, substrate, and application details are best confirmed directly with the studio.

What the site actually claims

The homepage positions the studio as a decorative arts resource for hospitality, commercial, and residential design, and frames the environmental commitment as part of the same offer as service quality. Two things are worth separating:

• A stated commitment: eco-friendly materials and sustainable practices are described as a standing part of how the studio works, not a one-off option.
• A material signal: American Clay appears in the service list as "Venetian Plaster, Tadelakt & American Clay." American Clay is a natural clay-based interior wall finish, which is the clearest named example on the site of a material choice that aligns with the eco-friendly claim.

Beyond that, the site does not list certifications, recycled-content percentages, VOC data, or a published sustainability policy.

Where sustainability and design aesthetics meet

The studio's framing is that environmental care and design intent are not traded off against each other. Its tagline — custom finishes "created to Inspire, support and mirror your design aesthetic" — and its "We Dream in Colors!" heading both describe the aesthetic side; the eco-friendly language is attached to the same service description rather than presented as a separate green product line.

In practice, that means a project can specify a natural clay finish, a decorative plaster, gilding, or a mural and still be working within the studio's stated environmental approach. The relevant question for a specifier is not "is there a green option?" but "which of these finishes fits my project's material and performance requirements?"

Finish categories named on the site

American Clay is the one entry in this list that is explicitly a natural material by name. The others are traditional decorative techniques whose environmental profile depends on the specific products and substrates used on your job.

Project types covered

The site organizes its work by sector, and the eco-friendly commitment is stated at the studio level rather than limited to one sector:

• Commercial & retail surface design, faux finishes, and Venetian plaster
• Hospitality architecture finishes and custom wall art
• Schools, churches, and musical venues: architecture finishes and mural painting
• Historic architecture finishes, traditional faux, and mural arts
• Residential unique wall art, faux painting, and mural arts

If your project has its own sustainability requirements — a green building standard, an indoor air quality target, or a client-mandated material list — the sector pages tell you what kind of work the studio does, but not how a given finish scores against those requirements.

How to verify specifics before specifying

Because the site states the commitment without publishing material-level data, the reliable path is a direct conversation. The contact details published on the site are:

• Phone: 508-655-1942
• Email: [email protected]

Useful questions to bring to that conversation, based on what the site does and does not say:

1. Which products in the American Clay, Venetian plaster, and Tadelakt ranges do you typically specify, and what are their material compositions?
2. For a project with indoor air quality or VOC limits, which finishes do you recommend and what documentation can you provide?
3. Are there finishes in your range that you would not describe as eco-friendly, so I can compare options honestly?
4. For exterior and ceiling/floor applications, how does the material choice change?

What to keep in mind

• The eco-friendly and sustainable-practices commitment is a stated studio position, not a published certification or dataset.
• American Clay is the clearest named natural material on the site; treat it as a starting point for questions, not as a complete list of green options.
• The site covers hospitality, commercial, residential, historic, and institutional work, so the same material questions apply across project types.
• Specific material composition, sourcing, and performance data are not on the site — confirm them with the studio before writing them into a specification.
