Are there any paint colours to avoid?

“We would generally recommend steering clear of intense or overstimulating colours as the primary colour on the walls – however brighter shades do have their place. Use these colours in a more subdued way via interesting focal points in the room such as the woodwork, a feature wall or updating pieces of furniture.”

Earthborn’s Humpty Dumpty is an earthy ochre shade with orange and yellow tones, bringing a softness to a child’s bedroom. To add a pop of colour and contrast, pair it with the deep tones of Hobgoblin for an eye-catching final result.

Mucky fingers? No problem

“For rooms susceptible to scuffs, fingerprints and marks, a washable, eco-friendly emulsion that is hardwearing is essential. Choosing a finish that can be easily wiped down time after time is easier to maintain in the long-term, whilst still ensuring that the colour looks fantastic for years to come. Earthborn’s Lifestyle emulsion offers a hardwearing ultra-low sheen finish that is easy to clean with soap and water. It’s a practical and gentle choice for busy areas in the home such as kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and spaces with little ones.”

Earthborn’s Claypaint, Lifestyle, Eggshell No.17 and Eco Chic emulsions are available in a wide array of shades and are free from hidden nasties, fume free and are Toy Safety Standard accredited.
