Valerie Betz, owner of StudioVB Interior Design, believes in the same principles of "healthy living, healthy planet" as the readers of Natural Awakenings magazine. StudioVB, owned and operated by a creative husband and wife team located in midtown Harrisburg, provides discerning clients with environmentally conscious design services.

Their philosophy is simply to design consciously and make every effort to design spaces that have the lowest impact on our environment, resources and health. StudioVB can help homeowners do this via the use of organic, nontoxic and sustainable materials, energy and resource conservation and natural and eco-friendly furnishings and fabrics: new, vintage and repurposed.

With design ideas, tips, expertise and a full range of design services, Betz says, “Our goal is to improve our clients’ lives by improving the spaces in which they live!” The design studio not only helps homeowners create sustainable interiors, but spaces that are functional, comfortable and beautiful, as well. The studio was also featured in an article in the January 5 edition of the Harrisburg Patriot News.
