As many of you know Valiant Design Co. has recently released an Organic and Toxic free line of cushions under the name Healthy Home.
As my prior blogs would suggest, I am very concerned with the direction our interior decoration is going. The majority of what we bring into our homes is replete with Formaldehyde, Phthalates, VOC’s & Flame Retardants.
These chemicals are absorbed into our skin, and off-gas into the air in our homes and can cause us very serious harm such as:
Hormonal Problems
Reproductive Disorders
Developmental Disorders
Cancer
Respiratory Issues (just to name a few!)
I am very passionate about spreading the word and encouraging the public to start moving away from products that contain toxic chemicals. It not only affects the environment negatively, but also hurts the health of us and our families.
While looking for toxic-free options for my client’s homes I became exasperated when I realized how difficult it is to find attractive items that are toxic-free. I decided to change that by starting my own toxic-free product line. While we have started small with decorative cushions, I am hopeful that we will be able to expand this into a full product line with furniture, fabric and bedding in the near future. It is Valiant Design Co. Healthy Home’s goal to be a very transparent company. We never want to be “just another greenwashing” company.
I would like to now take this opportunity to introduce you to the 2014 Spring Collection of Healthy Home’s product line. They can be purchased by visiting the “Products” section of this website. http://valiantdesignco.com/products/
Every element of our products are researched endlessly to ensure it is the safest option out there at the most affordable price (and with the right look!). With the majority of other designer cushions ranging in price from $95-$250, we strive to delight you with our extremely well priced ($65-$85), non-toxic, and beautiful designs. Our cushions include the following materials: Organic Cotton Muslin, Organic Cotton Patterned Fabric, Oeko-Tex Standard Linen, Oeko-Tex Standard felt, Recycled Cotton Batting (not treated with any flame retardants, bleaches, dyes or fungicides). We use only organic, chemical free spray starch to iron out fabric wrinkles and even our cushion labels are made from organic cotton!
