My Son's Bedroom + Bathroom

Designed by interior designer Hannah Soboroff from Eemastudio 

I received a lot of requests for details of the furniture and products used in my son’s bedroom and bathroom tour, which I have provided below. Please keep in my mind my 80:20 rule (which may also take some time to work up to) in terms of non-toxic living. I have been slowing changing out furniture and swapping out products to less toxic options for many years now. If you are just starting out, my recommendation for most important items to purchase with minimum toxins are bedding, pillows, and mattress as these are what your child is breathing in through the night. If you want to start smaller, begin by swapping out personal hygiene products (soap, toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner) as these are the ingredients your child is absorbing. As for the bedroom furniture, your best options are pieces made from unfinished solid wood, containing no toxic glues. If anything is painted, make sure it has non VOC or low VOC paint. I prefer not to have carpet in the bedroom, but if you do, be sure to have a high quality air purifier and to vacuum often. When purchasing a rug, it is best to find one with natural fibers, that doesn’t use glue, and ideally is organic. Before bringing any new furniture or rug into the home, allowing a few days to off-gas any toxic inhalants is important. Even in the case of my son’s bed frame, it was not perfect from a toxicity standpoint. I off-gassed the furniture items for a few days and kept the IQ Air air purifier on full blast during the day as I noticed it did smell. Ensuring your space has access to a circulation of fresh air, either by opening windows or an air purifier will help to support a healthy environment for you and your family member’s living space.
