It's always been hard to design with air purifiers, the unattractive white or beige units that stick out in the nursery like a sore thumb.

I was tickled pink to run into the Austin Air Baby's Breath Air Purifiers because they're so darn cute. What eco baby wouldn't benefit from one of these little blue or pink devices in their nursery? They have a permanent filter which reduces landfill impact while combating unwanted dust mites and other allergens that contaminate the room (especially in old houses with mold).

These babies, around $300 at Green and More, are highly rated for their low energy use and air flow.
