Luxurious Earthborn Paint: The Contemporary and Stylish Touch for Interior Projects
kirsty • Jan 30, 2019
Having strong, bold colours make a dramatic statement and are perfect for a feature wall or a whole room. There are over 70 shades of Earthborn paint available to choose from and each colour conjures different emotions across the different seasons.
What is Earthborn paint?
Quite simply, Earthborn paint is a holistic, breathable, paint suitable for interior walls, doors, furniture and more. It is an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional paint, free from acrylics, oils and vinyls.
Earthborn paint uses natural ingredients, such as plant derivatives, clay and earth pigments selected from natural and sustainable sources. This ensures the paint is both good for the environment and also a healthier choice as it reduces the build-up of statins and allergens.

Founded as an independent brand in 2002, Earthborn holds the first UK licence of the EU Ecolabel for Indoor Paints and Varnishes. All Earthborn paints include a full declaration of ingredients to help consumers make informed decisions and to show the true eco-friendliness of the range.
Durable, breathable and sustainable
High performance Earthborn paint works hard to decorate your walls and painted surfaces with the minimum of effort. With the unique clay recipe Earthborn paint is hardwearing and breathable. The thick, creamy paint is a pleasure to roller or brush onto almost any surface and the unique texture of the paint means using fewer coats than other emulsions.
Earthborn paint is virtually non-drip and covers most surfaces fully even while still wet. Another popular feature of Earthborn paint is the lack of ‘paint smell’, so you can live and work in the same room that has just been painted.

If other paints tighten your chest, cause coughing or shallow breathing, then you’ll find the natural properties in Earthborn paint are much healthier. With fewer allergens it means you can paint walls and furniture during the day or night without triggering adverse symptoms. Earthborn paint is noted to be beneficial for people with asthma and other breathing conditions.
Quick drying and ultra-absorbent
Decorating large areas can be a chore but Earthborn paint dries quickly with times of six to twelve hours, meaning paint applied in the morning will be dry by the evening. Or, if you paint late at night it will be nearly dry by breakfast time.

The ultra-absorbent properties of Earthborn paint make it an excellent choice for covering grease-free surfaces, for example, wood, lime plaster, and even gypsum plaster. Earthborn paint can be used on areas which have already been painted. The creamy texture of the paint ensures the whole area can be covered sometimes in a single coat.
The breathability of Earthborn paint helps minimise condensation and the build-up of mildew making it especially suitable for walls with windows and the interior of exterior facing walls exposed to the elements.
Create a comfortable living environment
With thought provoking names such as Sunday Stroll, Muddy Boots, Reading Room, Maybe Maggie, Toy Soldier and Grasshopper, you’re sure to want to take a closer look at Earthborn paints and experiment with different colours. Feature walls are extremely popular and can add length and depth to a room. Consider choosing a bold colour opposite a window or around a fireplace.
There are over 70 enchanting shades of Earthborn paints to choose from. Breathable and durable clay paints add the essence of luxury to your home or workspace. Easy to apply to almost any surface Earthborn paints can be used on most interior walls and surfaces. Transforming a piece of furniture with a coat of paint adds a touch of class when re-painting chairs, desks, wardrobes and other furniture and gives old furniture pieces a new lease of life.

Perhaps the most important part of your home or office redecoration is to create somewhere you want to be. Somewhere you look forward to spending time. Having a fresh coat of paint in your bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens and bathrooms can make your home feel special again and everyone knows, there’s no place like home.

The use of Natural Hydraulic Lime (NHL) on Cob is a Big NO!
Cob is one of the oldest building materials in the world.
Our big news story is that we are making our own cob blocks!
Typically eco homes are built with the same key structural components as any home. You’ll still need the foundation, roof, windows and doors. But, true eco homes are built using natural products, earth, wood, water and other naturally sustainable materials. Unique and elaborate constructions can be created and still meet our modern building regulations and standards.
You don’t have to be a construction connoisseur to understand what’s beneficial for your build and which material you should be making the most out of. This month, we’re going to help you get to grips with the pros of working with cob and lime; and believe it or not- it isn’t as complicated as you may assume.
Cob is a versatile building material makes a house cooler in the summer heat
Breathable paint is a material that allows the water vapour to permeate, travel, or transfer through itself. Its basic purpose is to allow water to evaporate quickly, letting the building’s walls, window frames, door frames, and the render to breathe naturally without trapping moisture.
If you are buying an older property then it will more than likely have lath and plaster ceilings and walls. If the property is Listed, then this will almost certainly dictate the type of laths you use for any repair.
This building had a cement render which over the years, had begun to crack and allow water ingress, the front elevation suffering the worst . Internally there were damp issues whilst outside we discovered some major problems that needed remedying.
