ETICA wants to bring you the best of interiors, design thinking and sustainable development. We aim to bridge two industries: Interiors and Sustainability.
— ETICA Sustainability & Interiors
It’s important to understand sustainability is a journey of small steps and achievements that slowly ETICA aims to bring into your interior design lifestyle. It’s a holistic and whole-system approach that includes, social, economic, and environmental attitudes with ethical values.
What is ETICA
ETICA was envisioned and born a few years ago when I came to realise the interior design industry needed a third value and purpose.
Aesthetical
Functional
Responsible - social and environmentally aware
And so, in 2020 ETICA came to life. ETICA is an online curated platform that promotes sustainable products and services related to the interior Design Industry.
Offers personalized Interior Design services
Promotes artisans and products that are changing the world of interiors
Guides you in understanding how to consider sustainability in interiors
Explains how to take conscious decisions
It is time to change. It is time to Rethink Interiors. Supporting ideas that make the difference!

Mission and Goals
ETICA is about questioning and ask “Why not?”, “What if?” in order to create and come up with something new - perhaps something the world did not know it was missing.
ETICA MISSION:
Environmental and social positive impact,
Support and promote conscious attitudes and creatives,
Educate consumer behaviour,
Change by empowering individuals, communities and ideas,
Shift perspectives and concepts.
We believe we have enough in the world, and we do not need more of the same, but rather better of what already exists. We share innovative designs, innovative thinking and systems.
ETICA GOALS:
From “waste” to create resources
From imperfection to create something beautiful
With less, to have more
SUPPORT. PROMOTE. CHANGE.
“Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.”
ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Creative & Interior Designer | Sustainability Advocate | Business Innovator
Hello, I’m Sara Rocha, an Interior Designer with a passion for creating spaces that blend style, function, and sustainability. After completing my Master’s in Interior Design I’ve been immersed in the world of design, working across a variety of design studios to refine my craft and gain a deep understanding of diverse styles and project needs.
With a keen eye for detail and a sharper focus on sustainability, I’ve also completed CPD-accredited courses in both business and sustainability. These have given me a solid foundation not just in principles, but in how to integrate sustainable solutions and smart business strategies into every project I take on.
Good design is about creating visually pleasing environments that are timeless, responsible and functional, and translating into spaces that create positive impact on both human health and the environment.
