Design your home without chemical fire retardants
Chemical fire retardants such as bromine, chlorine, even arsenic, are widely used on furniture, upholstery, textiles, mattresses and building materials. Chronic exposure to these chemicals is linked to cancer, allergies, and more. At Healthier Homes, you won't find any of these added chemicals in our organic rugs, organic throw blankets and natural throw pillows, so you can shop with confidence.
2. Materials to avoid when shopping for natural or organic throws
What goes into your home also goes into your skin and lungs. Always avoid chemical stain repellants, wrinkle free coatings, and products that contain formaldehyde, organic and chlorinated solvents, petroleum distillates, synthetic rubber compounds, and highly fluorinated compounds. These are some of the most common bad actors you’ll see in modern products, and they can wreak havoc on your health if you’re exposed to them long term.
Next time you’re searching for a couch cuddle buddy, our natural throw blankets and textiles are crafted from ethically sourced, nontoxic materials. That’s something to feel good about!
3. Use contrasting colors + rug patterns for visual interest
Go with an aesthetic that updates your existing furnishings with contrasting styles. For example, if your organic shape rug is soft and neutral, without a lot of clean lines, go for more contemporary lines in your natural pillow covers.
Mix and match your styles by trying out all kinds of methods, techniques, and designs to see what fits your eco friendly space. You can even mix and match from one room to the next to keep your décor fresh and fun!
What are my options for natural throws and non toxic carpet?
Let’s start by thinking about how many times your feet and skin touch fabrics and textiles inside of your home on a daily basis? Your sofa, drapes, rugs, carpet, throw pillows, bedding, towels, the list goes on. Sourcing sustainable pillows, throw blankets and nontoxic rugs are truly important for a healthier home.
Non toxic area rugs, organic throws, and organic throw pillows all fall into the same category at Healthier Homes, and that is sustainable, ethical, clean products that are safe to have inside your home.
Most organic rugs and natural throw pillows are made using processes and materials that are far healthier for home occupants than traditional manufacturing methods. Organic cotton rugs are crafted using untreated textiles that are free from chemicals like flame retardants which can off-gas into your home or leach dangerous substances into your skin.
However, here your options are plentiful for sustainable throw pillows, ethical throw blankets, and organic area rugs!
Aren’t organic, non-toxic and sustainable the same thing?
While non toxic rugs are often organic and sustainable as well, these labels have different goals: sustainable refers to the impact a product has on the environment, while nontoxic refers to the impact it has on the people who are using it. As such, we prioritize organic modern rugs and fair trade pillows that safeguard the health and well-being of humans and pets first. Our number one concern at Healthier Homes is the health and well-being of our those who enjoy this world as much as we do, so everyone may thrive in their living environments.
What are the benefits of using natural throw pillows & organic rugs?
The health benefits of items like natural pillow covers and organic sofa pillows are as many and varied as they are with all other types of healthy home furnishings. With chronic disease numbers on the rise, several studies have suggested that a toxic indoor living environment may be the cause, and these toxic indoor spaces are created by items in the home that off-gas dangerous volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
That’s just one reason why it’s so important to research and purchase ecofriendly rugs made using untreated fabrics and other natural textiles. These organic materials won’t usually have serious off-gassing potential, so you can rest easy knowing you’re creating your home in the healthiest way possible.
What’s more? Organic materials, dyes, and manufacturing processes are good for the environment, our planet, and your very own footprint, literally… Here’s to your next sofa snuggle session under your new OEKO-TEX certified natural throw blanket!
Tips for choosing fair trade pillows, sustainable rugs & throws for your home
When it comes to your healthy home, every piece, from the fair trade pillows to the eco friendly rugs, plays a role in the health and well-being of you and your family. So many products are made using toxic chemicals, and those chemicals linger and can even be emitted into your home.
Imagine if every item in the room you’re in right now were off-gassing hazardous VOCs. Those gases can build up quickly inside modern indoor living environments, which are built to be airtight for energy conservation. Sadly, those very efforts might be putting your health at risk.
Fortunately, you have the power to take control of your own living environment to make conscious purchases for your healthier home.
