Eco-Friendly Decor and Accessories
Every element of your bedroom, from curtains to rugs, should contribute to a healthy and sustainable environment.
- Curtains and Window Treatments: Choose organic cotton or linen curtains, which are both durable and eco-friendly.
- Rugs and Carpets: Natural fiber rugs, such as those made from wool or jute, are a great addition to your organic bedroom.
- Lighting: Incorporate energy-efficient lighting options like LED bulbs, and consider lamps made from sustainable materials.

Air Quality and Natural Cleanliness
Maintaining good air quality is crucial in an organic bedroom. Houseplants can naturally purify the air, and using natural cleaning products helps keep your space free from harmful chemicals.
- Houseplants: Plants like snake plants, spider plants, and peace lilies can help remove toxins from the air. Learn more about the benefits of houseplants in our blog: The Best Houseplants for Mind, Body, and Soul.
- Natural Cleaning Products: Use eco-friendly cleaning products made from natural ingredients like vinegar, baking soda, and essential oils. For more on maintaining a sustainable lifestyle, read our blog on Sustainable Living.
Certifications to Look For
When creating an organic bedroom, it is important to look for certifications that verify the sustainability and safety of the products you are choosing.
- GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard): Ensure your bedding meets high environmental and social standards by shopping from our GOTS Certified Products Collection.
- Fairtrade: Support ethical farming practices by choosing products from our Fairtrade Cotton Collection, ensuring fair wages and safe conditions for farmers.
- OEKO-TEX: While GOTS or Fairtrade Cotton are preferred, OEKO-TEX certification is an acceptable alternative that certifies textiles are free from harmful chemicals and safe for human use.
