Best Eco-Friendly Baby Room Accessories
A gorgeously appointed nursery is only truly welcoming to baby if the elements within are free of contaminants, fumes, and off-gassing materials. Worried you might not be able to locate the safe stuff? Fear no more. I’ve done all the research so that you can sit back and work on your birth plan instead (or just have a nap).
Eco-friendly equals baby-friendly, so consider the following elements when building that tender newborn’s nest.
Little Yolo Interior Paint
Yolo Colorhouse’s children’s line, Little Yolo, makes the idea of painting downright irresistible. Their six yummy colors, from pale butterscotch to periwinkle, are both nursery-esque and chic. Best of all, you can buy their Pint-Sized color swatches (13” x 15”) and test out colors without extrapolating from a tiny chip or buying a quart that will go to waste. Recycle them into party hats after you’re done, as their website suggests... or use them to spiff up your birth announcements.

FLOR Classic Pooh Modular Carpet Tiles
FLOR is a shining star in the eco-design world. They make the carpet tiles out of recyclable and renewable materials, use renewable energy sources in the manufacture process, and when you’re done with your carpet, will pay to have it returned to them so that they can make it into new FLOR tiles.
You don’t need any stinky glue to install FLOR, as it’s engineered to hug the floor with FLOR dots, which actually only stick to the bottom of the carpet tiles, not your floor. It’s easy to spend hours on their website, as there are so many fabulous options for mixing, matching, building the perfect modular carpet. Best of all - if you spill cough syrup on it, you can simply remove that particular tile and replace it with a fresh one. Stain gone.
