Creating Beautiful, Eco-Friendly Children’s Spaces
In honor of the Global Climate Strike, and in honor of pushing the Interior Design Industry to be more green, I’m highlighting one company who’s furniture is incredibly well designed AND made from recycling discarded plastic children’s toys. BRILLIANT. Historically in the Interior Design industry “Green” meant plain and scratchy and well green colors. I guess the idea was that people who want “Green” products want their products to LOOK “Green”. Which could be the case in some instances but for the most part people want their style and ALSO environmentally friendly. It still has a long way to go.
At Jamie House Design, we believe that sustainable interior design can be both stylish and environmentally responsible. As the world shifts towards more conscious living, the interior design industry is evolving, offering high-quality, beautifully designed products that reduce environmental impact.
One inspiring example is ecoBirdy, a company that transforms discarded plastic children’s toys into stunning, modern furniture. Their innovative approach to green design showcases how sustainability and aesthetics can seamlessly blend, proving that eco-friendly doesn’t mean compromising on style. Their pieces are not only made from recycled materials, but they also support a circular economy, reducing waste while creating functional, family-friendly designs.
ecoBirdy is a children’s furniture company based in Antwerp and every point in the process is done in Europe. The furniture is made of recycled plastic children’s toys. In addition to all of that good the company also provides education to introduce youngsters to the circular economy and inspire them to contribute to a more sustainable future.
As a Denver interior design firm, we encourage our clients to choose materials and furnishings that align with their values. Whether it’s investing in durable, well-crafted pieces, selecting LEED-certified materials, or designing spaces that promote longevity and sustainability, there are countless ways to make a difference. Small changes—like reducing household waste, opting for non-toxic finishes, and supporting brands with ethical production—can have a lasting impact.
“The collection of kids furniture pieces is entirely made of recycled plastic from European waste. Each step is based on social and environmental responsibility.”
Plus the products look really cute. Because to be honest regardless of how wonderful your product is in terms of transparency & environmental friendly if it isn’t beautiful people won’t buy it.
The table & chairs are indoor/ outdoor friendly too! Making them easy to clean! And lightweight so kids can move them themselves. And the colors are beautiful.
Look at that darling Kiwi storage container and rhino lamp. So darling.
EcoBirdy also works with schools and children’s programs to provide furniture and education.
Sure not everyone needs children’s furniture. But the benefit in knowing about sustainable companies is that you’ll start to see more of them. Even better if we can join together and expect more out of our favorite companies. We have a lot of power in our buying. If we demand it the market will provide it. Lets look to the Home Decor industry to evaluate itself and start making lasting changes.
Sustainability isn’t about perfection; it’s about progress. By making intentional choices in our homes, we create spaces that are not only beautiful but also better for the planet. If you’re ready to incorporate sustainable interior design into your next project, Jamie House Design can help you design a home that’s both stylish and environmentally conscious.

High-Low Interior Decoration: Pairing Retail with Designer Pieces
As an interior designer, I believe in blending custom, designer-only furniture with thoughtfully selected retail pieces to create a high-end, curated look. A truly sophisticated home isn’t about everything being bespoke or everything being from a retail store—it’s about the mix. At Jamie House Design, we source from places like the Denver Design Center for exclusive, trade-only pieces while incorporating beautifully designed retail finds to balance a space.
