 Eco-Friendly Baby Furniture

Who says an eco-friendly nursery can’t be a stylish one? Gone are the days of bland finishes and dull color palettes. With a whole new array of recycled materials and non-toxic paints, designers have taken earth-conscious nursery furniture to a new level aesthetically. Here are the pieces that we give particularly high marks in both style and function.

 

You’ll notice that eco-friendly furniture is a bit pricier than other furniture – but hopefully prices will come down as more and more consumers demand eco-friendly options. So don’t be afraid to ask your local retailer about stocking more eco-friendly pieces.

Argington

Sahara Crib

Made from 100% sustainable birch wood, this adorable crib is offered in four different finishes so you need not abandon your color scheme to make it work. While the wood gives the piece a traditional feel, the shape keeps it modern.

Ioline

Changing Trunk

Made of bamboo and available in different finishes, we find the engraving on this piece to be particularly unique and pretty. We love how compact and multi-functional this is, plus it can be used for toy storage as baby gets older. Ideal for smaller spaces.

Lusitano Rocking Horse

A rocking horse is a classic nursery piece and we love this one made from non-chemically treated, recycled rubberwood. In addition, riding a rocking horse is a great way for your child to learn balance and strengthen those adorable legs.
