How to set up a vintage wooden baby room?

What criteria should be considered when choosing furniture?

Creating a vintage-inspired wooden baby room doesn't mean using old furniture. Indeed, it's perfectly possible to opt for genuinely vintage decorative elements, but when it comes to furniture, it is highly recommended to choose new or recent items. As manufacturing standards for children's furniture are constantly being improved to prioritise the safety of young ones, it's important to choose furniture that complies with these standards, particularly regarding the wooden baby cot. Rather than a vintage baby cot and vintage furniture, we'll opt for items inspired by old designs but with contemporary manufacturing.

We can then ensure several criteria are met, such as the use of PEFC certified wood for example. This label ensures that the wood used in manufacturing the vintage baby room comes from eco-managed forests, allowing for more eco-responsible furniture choices. We also prioritise the use of wood panels with low formaldehyde content and water-based paints and varnishes without solvents to limit the presence of volatile organic compounds and thus preserve baby's well-being. Finally, we also recommend favouring made in France products to ensure quality and local manufacturing.
