A nursery asks for fewer assumptions than almost any other room.
Before colour, before silhouette, before the chair looks soft enough for a midnight feed, ask what the materials are and which claims can actually be documented.
The Questions That Sit Underneath.
A pale finish is not evidence. A soft fabric is not evidence. Ask the maker to be specific.
- What is the upholstery textile, and what certification belongs to it?
- What are the care instructions for repeated cleaning?
- What materials and finishes are being specified elsewhere in the piece?
Built for Your Room, Not Bought for It.
A made-to-order approach also lets proportion follow the room and the routine rather than a warehouse average.
- The overall scale of the piece.
- The height of a changing surface.
- The depth and support of a chair used for long feeds.
Fabric That Can Be Verified.
A wide choice of fabrics, including a range of OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified fabrics. For cleanability and durability, we read the technical information for the exact textile rather than treating “performance fabric” as a universal promise.
Those are separate pieces of evidence, and we prefer to keep them that way.
Frequently asked questions.
What is the most important question to ask before buying nursery furniture?
Ask what each material claim applies to and what documentation supports it. For Saint Objets upholstery, our fabric claim is specific: a wide choice of fabrics, including a range of OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified fabrics.
Are performance fabrics suitable for a nursery?
They can be, when the exact textile has the right hand, care instructions and performance for the room. We review those details fabric by fabric rather than assuming every performance textile is suitable for every nursery.
Can Saint Objets make nursery furniture to specific measurements?
Yes. Every Saint Objets piece is made to order, so proportions such as changing-surface height or chair depth can be shaped to the room and routine.
