Baby room: The latest eco-friendly trends

Do you want to create an environment that is both reassuring, soothing, and eco-friendly for your baby? Good news, many new trends allow you to make choices that are more respectful of the environment, as well as your baby's well-being. So what are the tips for furnishing and decorating a baby's room while taking the environment into account? Discover all our advice!

Ecology and baby's well-being: two linked themes

When we talk about eco-responsibility regarding the baby's environment, the question of their well-being is generally quickly addressed. Indeed, baby items that respect the planet are often also more respectful of the baby's health. This is notably explained by the fact that they are free of certain substances that have an impact on both nature and humans. Therefore, parents who decide to choose more eco-friendly items for their child quickly realize that the latter's well-being is also taken into account in the manufacturing of these objects.

Moreover, future parents are generally concerned about the world they will leave to their child. Therefore, opting for more eco-responsible choices makes even more sense when deciding to expand one's family.

Environmentally friendly furniture

Then comes the time to choose the furniture for this baby room. Here too, opting for a wooden baby room is often the best choice. Warm, wood is also a healthy and durable material over time. However, be careful to choose your baby room in wood carefully. For this, you can pay attention to several criteria such as:

  • The use of FSC or PEFC certified wood
  • The use of ecological wood panels with low formaldehyde content
  • The use of water-based paint or varnish, without solvents
  • French or European manufacturing

By taking these different criteria into account for your complete baby room, you are assured of opting for a quality baby room that respects the environment as well as your child's well-being. Our complete VOLT baby room is a boy's baby room or a girl's baby room that perfectly meets all these criteria.

More ecological flooring and wall coverings

First step regarding the decoration of the baby's room: the floor and wall covering. You indeed have the possibility now to choose more eco-friendly materials that respect your child's well-being.

Regarding the floor, you can for example opt for parquet flooring which allows for a warm and pleasant environment in a room. You will notice that each product has a rating ranging from A+ to C. This is information on the level of emission of volatile substances into indoor air. Therefore, remember to prioritize parquet flooring rated A+. Moreover, you can opt for wood flooring from sustainably managed forests. This is notably the case when we observe the presence of the PEFC or FSC label.

As for the walls, you can choose paint. Here too, some paints are more natural than others. So remember to opt for a composition that is as natural as possible, at least for your child's room (this is often specified on the packaging). You can also opt for the use of wallpaper, in which case, choose a glue that will be suitable for indoor use.

Making room for second-hand and vintage items

To limit overconsumption when creating your child's room, you can opt for vintage or second-hand items. To preserve baby's safety, prefer to choose decorative elements if they are old items. If you decide to choose a piece of furniture, a toy or any other item that will be in direct contact with the baby, at least ensure the presence of the CE standard, carefully check the condition of the item and remember to wash it properly to avoid any risk.

Second-hand is an excellent choice for older children when it comes to finding books, toys or even clothes at mini prices. With vintage, you can find lovely gems in terms of decor such as a toy chest or a rocking chair for example. It's simply the return of the vintage trend in the baby's room.

Prioritizing made in France and quality decor

Generally, opting for made in France items in your wooden baby room will allow you to choose quality and short supply chain. While it may be tempting, avoid mass purchases, but rather prioritize durable items that you won't tire of after a few months. A beautiful rug, a nice pair of curtains, a pretty lamp are all items that you can find made in France and that you will enjoy seeing through the years in your child's room.

So don't let yourself be caught up in the many decorative items that are offered to you, but take the time to reflect to create a space that resembles you.

Opting for natural textiles

Finally, focusing on natural textiles is also preferable for decorating the baby's room in a more eco-friendly and healthy way. There are many materials such as cotton, linen, bamboo and others that you can prioritize for bedding as well as curtains, cushions and more. The presence of the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 label is also a good indicator that the chosen textile is more eco-friendly.
