Conscious Nursery and Kids’ Room Design

Conscious Nursery and Kids’ Room Design

Fairy lights for our little girl? A dinosaur theme for our baby boy? When designing our children’s nurseries and, later, their big kid rooms, it’s natural for parents to get caught up in the aesthetics. After all, designing is fun; researching ethical and eco-friendly products is decidedly not.

But sustainable interior design is more accessible today than it has ever been before and with a bit of forethought it’s entirely possible to curate beautiful spaces for our children that use lower impact materials.

This week’s guest is author Rachel Fowler. Rachel combines her knowledge as both a nurse and sustainable interior designer to give us her best ideas for creating nurseries and kids rooms that are safe, minimalist, eco-friendly, and fun.

 

Here’s a preview:

[6:00] Ten items that should never be in your child’s room for health and safety

[9:30] What to consider before painting a room’s walls and ceiling, with a nod toward wallpaper

[16:00] The problems with carpet and vinyl floors

[20:00] How to make informed furniture decisions

[24:00] What to use instead instead of blackout blinds
