Furniture
Wallpaper Foxglove, Miss Print, Manders storesPhoto:MandersUndoubtedly, the most environmentally friendly furniture is made of natural wood. This natural material has excellent wear resistance, it is pleasant to the touch and has the ability to harmoniously fit into absolutely any style of children's room. Hardwood is best, because children can leave dents or scratches on the surface of soft wood. Durable and reliable plywood furniture, which has recently become incredibly popular and loved by designers, has also proven itself well, since it is easy to paint or decorate even with a child. For some reason, many are afraid to use plastic in their children's room, but we can assure you that high-quality plastic products do not emit any harmful substances. Plus, they are much lighter than their wooden "brothers", so it will not be difficult for a child to independently move his chair or small table as soon as the need arises. Perhaps, it is also worth discussing furniture made of chipboard and MDF, because it is used quite often. You should know that no matter how attractive the price of chipboard is, in a child's room this material should be treated with special caution because of the harmful substances it releases. Only those items made of class E1 chipboard are suitable, in addition, the edges should be well sealed. Furniture made of MDF is more environmentally friendly and durable, it can be "settled" in a child's room for a long time, but its price is not much different from that of products made of natural wood. Again, wooden furniture can be easily and quickly updated by repainting it, for example, in the child's favorite colors, for which special paints have been developed that are safe for children.
Walls
The walls of the room and the wooden frame are coveredPaint certified as safe for health according to the Toy Paint Regulation EN 71-3-1995 standard, Absolute Matt Emulsion, Little Greene, Manders storesPhoto: MandersThe most preferred option for finishing the walls in a child's room is paint. It is practical, does not fade in the sun, is easily restored, and with its help you can change the atmosphere of the interior at least every season. When buying, try to choose one that is water-based, has the marking "for children's rooms" or the word KID in the name. For example, environmentally friendly paints Little Greene, which have successfully passed all the necessary sanitary and hygienic tests, are suitable not only for walls, they can even be used to paint toys, which is important, considering how often children like to chew on them. If paint is too boring a solution for you, you can pay attention to wallpaper made from natural ingredients. The best choice for the walls of a child's room would be ordinary paper wallpaper in light shades, despite the low cost, they are safe and absolutely harmless. What you really should avoid is oil paint and vinyl wallpaper, these materials emit toxic substances, which will not benefit any child. Also interesting:
