Decorating your nursery for the arrival of your baby is a rite of passage — a time for you to ease into life as a new parent and imagine your new normal. The importance of your nursery decor can't be understated; the colours, textiles, and items you select reflect both parent and baby, plus the life you'll soon be leading together.
For many parents, choosing sustainable or eco-friendly fabrics is a top priority, and fans of the sustainable nursery brand, Gaia Baby, will be delighted to know that it has just released a brand-new collection of bedding and soft furnishings that will suit a variety of themes and colour schemes.
Created using gorgeously soft 100 per cent certified organic cotton, the new Maia collection brings together muted tones and versatile designs to help make your nursery feel cosy while knowing that you're doing your bit for the planet, too. What we love most about Gaia Baby is that the brand prides itself on hand-crafted pieces that are lovingly made with meticulous attention to detail, using the finest materials and certified to the highest standard, so you know you're in safe hands.
The dreamy selection of sheets, sleeping bags, canopies, muslins, and playmats (available in sand, blush, and soft white) is so adorable, that we bet you'll find it as difficult as we did to add just a couple of things to your basket...
