About Useful/Beautiful

“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.”

Textile designer, poet, novelist, translator and socialist activist William Morris said it in the 1800s and as we try to minimize the waste we create in our individual houses and the planet we all call home, we couldn’t imagine better words to live by!

Useful/Beautiful features tips, projects and products to help you transform your home and the way you live in it into something truly beautiful that’s good for your health, your wallet and the environment.
