Create an Earth-friendly and Baby-safe Nursery for your Newborn

By Kim Proulx

The "green" in this title is not referring to a color; it's referring to a way of life. You've probably heard of the terms eco-friendly, natural, earth-friendly and organic. Well, the idea of surrounding your baby with these types of products is getting really popular these days. This guide will help you find some eco-friendly products on our site that you can use to create an earth-friendly and baby-safe nursery.

All of our baby furniture is baby-safe, but there are a few brands that go even further than just meeting today's US safety standards. These brands use eco-friendly materials and manufacturing practices that are over-the-top earth friendly. If you're looking for truly "green" baby furniture then the following five brands have what you need: Argington, Oeuf, Stokke, Kid's Collection and qCollection Junior.

Other Nursery Furniture and Accessories

To create a complete nursery with all your needed furnishings such as: crib, changing table, dresser, rocker/glider and other storage units you could consider buying a nursery set or mixing and matching pieces from various brands for a more eclectic room design. If you decide to go the "eclectic" design way, then we recommend you choose pieces that are the same color or complimenting tones. Either way you can't go wrong when designing an earth-friendly nursery with products from the previously mentioned brands.
