Go organic. Furniture that references nature is not only on trend, it’s also big and chunky enough to stand up to kids’ wear and tear. “The tree trunk end table – I’m crazy about how it looks,” says Griffin. “If Brad and Angie called, I’d be filling their place with that stuff.” Choosing low-VOC paints such as ICI Lifemaster 2000 paint, wool rugs instead of off-gassing synthetics, and window blinds made from sustainable materials such as bamboo, is good for the planet and your kids’ health, too.
