Green Room: Met Home’s Contemporary Floral Bedroom
We loved the upbeat, cheery look of this feminine, sophisticated room. These design elements show that bringing nature indoors with floral prints and natural accent pieces (those woven poufs!) doesn’t have to be reserved for spring. Naturally, we had to find all the necessary bits and pieces to create the style in true ecofabulous fashion, and here they are:
1. Ekla Home Headboard
This gorgeous Donna headboard features all of the sustainable elements that Ekla Home furniture is known for - FSC certified woods, natural tapped rubber and a plethora of organic fabric options. (Call 310.699.9057 or email [email protected] for pricing)
2. Raksha Bella Organic bedding
Raksha Bella Organic quilts and shams are 100% certified organic cotton sateen, made beautiful by low-impact, AZO-free dye hand-blocked prints. All are made and imported from India, where this type of handcraft is a tradition and made under fair labor practices. Indian Rose Organic Quilt ($540-570)
3. West Elm organic sheets
This paisley printed duvet cover and sham set is 100% certified organic cotton, using GOTS (Global Organic Textiles Standard). With a 230-thread count and easy machine-washable care, this neutral palette is as practical as it is luxurious. West Elm organic blocked paisley duvet cover + shams ($24-109)
4. Wildflower, Betula chaise
This Betula chaise, by Wildflower, is constructed from natural wool, organic cottons, sustainable harvested timbers and non-toxic finishes. Customize the chaise with your choice of upholstery fabric. Betula chaise ($2375)

6. LightenUP Design tea set
This adorable ceramic creamer and sugar set is made-to-order by LightenUp Design, using non-toxic glazes. Each is cast from a tea set belonging to the designer’s grandmother, hence the name: “Grandma’s Cream and Sugar Set.” ($100)

9. Vintage Chinese garden seats
Shown in the Metropolitan Home room pictured above, these vintage Chinese garden seats are one unique find. The hand-painted porcelain is decorated with a design of cabbage leaves, and wide borders of flowers and butterflies. (Bid on the seats here)
