If you love leading an organic, eco-friendly and all-natural life, then you most probably want to encourage your kids to do the same. When it comes to your home, you most probably like your home to be as at one with nature as possible, which is where eco-friendly bedroom design comes in. A great way to not only ensure that your entire home is as environmentally friendly as possible but will also encourage your kids to lead greener lives is to create them a bedroom that is completely eco-friendly. The question is, of course, how can you go about doing that? Read on for everything that you need to know to design the most amazing space!
Use all-natural paint
Paint is often toxic, packed full of all kinds of chemicals that not only harm the environment but can also be damaging to your health. That’s why it’s far better for you (and your carbon footprint) if you opt to use all-natural paints to decorate your children’s bedrooms, as this ensures that they are as eco-friendly as possible. There is a great range of eco-friendly paints, which means that you have plenty of choice in terms of the kinds of colours that you opt for, so don’t let a lack of choice put you off.
Be mindful when choosing furniture
When it comes to picking furniture for your child’s room, ensure that you are picking sustainably sourced pieces that are recycled or completely natural. A great place to find old pieces of furniture that you can breathe new life into is your local junk yard, as there are always some amazing pieces in there.
Invest in the right toys
Toys may no longer include lead paint like they did many years ago but that doesn’t mean that all toys are good for your kids. If you want to create a bedroom that is truly eco-friendly, it’s worthwhile you could even opt for vegan toys from a shop selling vegan gifts for your children’s bedrooms, as that way you know that they are all-natural and are designed to be environmentally-friendly too.
Be choosy about bedding
When it comes to choosing your child’s bedding, it’s essential that you are selective about the materials that you opt to purchase. Make sure that your child has an eco-friendly mattress, in addition to organic cotton sheets that will make their bedroom greener and more environmentally friendly too.
Add the right scents
Having scents in a bedroom is an essential part of creating a beautiful children’s bedroom, as scents can help make relaxation and achieving a deeper and more tranquil sleep easier. However, many aerosol sprays and other syntehtic smells can harm the environment and your child’s health, which is why it’s best to opt for natural scents instead, such as crushed lavender in a scent pouch.
There you have it, everything that you need to know about designing an eco-friendly bedroom for your kids that is perfectly balanced.
