Antique chaise longue, Jayson Home; chairs and pendant by Humanscale; side tables and pedestal by Caesarstone; draped fabric and pillows, Kravet; carpet tiles by Flor.

For the 2022 edition of Design on a Dime, Housing Works’ annual benefit that took place in April, ELLE DECOR selected Brooklyn-based designer Delia Kenza to create a provocative vignette. Her mission was to make a beautiful, livable, and—most important—eco-friendly interior that bucked the tired shibboleth that green living isn’t pretty. “No earth tones, wood, or ‘bringing nature in’ here,” Kenza says. She knows sustainable design can be so much more.

To prove her point, Kenza worked with star brands from across the interior design firmament. She filled the space with a sleek Caesarstone recycled quartz side table and pedestals, ergonomic and net-positive chairs and an -energy-efficient pendant from Humanscale, throw pillows and a dramatic curtain of recycled polyester fabrics from Kravet, as well as an antique (or “pre-loved,” as Kenza refers to it) chaise longue from Jayson Home in a sumptuous red velvet. To tie these disparate elements together, Kenza covered the floor with carpet tiles from Flor to form a bold zigzag pattern. “The tiles are very environmentally friendly because you can remove and wash or replace sections as they get stained,” she says.

The final result was a green space of forward-thinking sophistication that embodies Kenza’s axiom: “Sustainable doesn’t have a single look.”

If you're worried about heart disease, here are one cardiologist's top 5 things to know, and why your age is a big factor.

“Pins and needles commonly occur in the arms, hands, legs and feet when sitting or sleeping on a body part that affects the nerve,” Dr. Laura Sander, northeast regional medical director at Heal and assistant professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, tells Yahoo Life. This sensation is what happens when your leg “falls asleep,” for instance. Dr. Jen Caudle tells Yahoo Life that the pins and needles sensation occurs when you interfere with your sensory nerves. “Sensory nerves process stimuli from our environment and send that information to the spinal cord and the brain,” she explains. “So when the sensory nerves are restricted from crossing your legs (or other body parts) too long, you first feel numbness because your nerves have stopped getting the oxygen they need to send the right messages to your brain.” As you might expect, “once you uncross your legs, the nerves can get back on track and continue making their way back to the brain. But the brain interprets this as tingling,” Caudle says.
