Non-Toxic Furniture and Accent Pieces

One of the more frequently asked questions I get is about furniture for your home. Specifically, Healthy House on the Block followers want to know about non-toxic furniture. I think that non-toxic furniture can be a bit of an ambiguous term and can be loosely thrown around. That, or maybe there’s just levels of low toxin furniture that appeal to different families.
I know for myself, I do my best to make choices that are toxin free. But I’ll be honest with you when I say that doesn’t always happen. Sometimes the BEST I can do for my family is to find an option that is low toxin.
With furniture you can find a wide variety of both good and bad furniture. Some furniture will be mostly toxin free with just a small bit of regular paint or stain on it. Other pieces of furniture are made with harsh adhesives and have plastic components. What I’m saying is there are levels to non-toxic furniture and it’s important to know just what you’re buying. When you know what’s in your furniture, you’ll be able to make sure it’s aligned with your stance on toxins.
So whether you’re wanting to purchase completely natural and toxin free or you’re wanting to make it a low toxin purchase, this post will walk you through the ins and outs of what to watch for.
Make sure you don’t get hung up on finding something that’s 100% toxin free if it will cause financial strain or be nearly impossible to find. It’s okay to make your home as toxin free as possible and include mostly healthy pieces.
