1. Look for nursery furniture made from sustainable and renewable sources such as bamboo, cork or from trees harvested from renewable forests in which trees are planted for those cut down.
2. Recycle, Repurpose and Reclaim – three words to keep in mind when looking for environmentally friendly baby furniture. Many home furnishing manufacturers are now using reclaimed woods . As for repurposing, take a walk into any thrift store and let your imagination go wild.. Note the only exception to this rule: buy the crib and mattress new from a Green Vendor.
3. Buy locally if at all possible, doing so will reduce the carbon foot print required to transport the furniture. This is another reason to check out second hand stores for furniture you want, since that furniture has already made the trip once.
4. Avoid any furniture products created with particle board since formaldehyde is used to bind the wood particles. Formaldehyde is a volatile organic compound (VOC) and should be avoided. Also take note of paints and varnishes used on the furniture, as with the formaldehyde avoid VOC laden finishes.
5. Ask for natural fibers (silk, linen, cotton) for furniture fabrics and eco-friendly foam (soy foam is becoming more widely available) in sofa cushions and pillows.

David Netto, a pioneer of the modern nursery design movement, created the NettoCollection in 2003 in response to his own family’s need for modern, stylish, functional and purposeful nursery furniture. With his first daughter’s birth David noticed that there was very little in the way of fashionable modern nursery furniture that would fit in with a modern styled home. So he set about creating modern furniture for children.
Five years since the The NettoCollection, debut , it continues to garner accolades from expectant parents that have been hungry for luxury modern design outside of the Victorian, pastel, lace infused traditional nursery design that dominated the market for so many years.
The Cabine Crib, inspired by 1930s French Modernism, can be opened from any of the four sides making it easy for new moms to gain access to baby. ($1750 at nettocollection.com).
Read More »2 Tips for Baby Crib Shopping
Baby’s first bed will be the most important purchase decision you will need to make when designing the nursery. Here are two tips that will help you make the right decision.
1. Research online…
Who has the time to traipse from store to store – specially while pregnant – looking for the perfect baby crib ? Use the internet as a helpful time-saving resource to narrow down your picks, read crib reviews by other parents, learn about the latest in baby furniture styles and find the best prices!
2. Then test drive the crib at a bricks and mortar store.
(When you’re ready you can BUY online or at the store.)
- Look at the workmanship – does the crib look well made?
- Do the crib slats meet the safety standards of 2 3/8 inches apart? Crib rails should be at least nine inches from the crib mattress when lowered and 26 inches above the crib mattress when raised completely.
- Do the baby crib’s side rails come down on one side, both sides or all sides? This will be important once baby is home and you will be reaching in and out of her crib on a frequent basis. (NOTE: even more important for moms who may have C-sections.)
- Is the crib stable? You need to be able to give the crib a good shake – then ask yourself “How does it hold up?” , “Is it shaky and unstable?”.
- Will a standard crib mattress fit nice and snug in the crib? Some European or non-standard baby cribs may be too small or too large – ask the furniture sales clerk if you have any doubts.
- Ask what the lead time for delivery is – hopefully the crib will be delivered before baby
