Hey fellow eco-warriors! 
I’ve recently embarked on a mission to repaint my living room, which boasts some beautifully textured walls. I’m determined to stick to eco-friendly paints this time around, but I’m a bit overwhelmed by the options. Has anyone else navigated this before?
I’ve been eyeing Earthborn Claypaint for its breathability and natural pigments, and I’ve also heard great things about Auro’s natural paints for their durability on textured surfaces. Previously, I tried Ecos Paints on a smoother wall, and while I loved the low VOC aspect, I’m curious about how it holds up on textures.
My main concern is ensuring the paint doesn’t just look good but also adheres well to the texture without requiring a ton of coats. Plus, I’m all about minimizing environmental impact, so I’m looking for paints that are sustainably sourced and packaged.
Has anyone used these brands on textured walls? How did they perform in terms of coverage and durability? Also, any tips on application techniques for textured surfaces would be super helpful. Let’s share our experiences and help each other make greener choices! 
Hey @GreenThumbJenny! I’ve used Earthborn Claypaint on my textured walls and it was a game-changer. The coverage was excellent, and it really brought out the texture beautifully. Plus, knowing it’s eco-friendly made the whole process feel even better. I did two coats, but the second was more for depth than necessity. Highly recommend giving it a try!

I’m all about Auro’s natural paints! Used them in my kitchen which has textured walls, and the durability is impressive. Spills wipe right off, and the color hasn’t faded even after a year. It’s a bit pricier, but for the quality and eco-friendliness, it’s worth every penny.

@MountainHiker88 That’s great to hear! Did you use any special techniques for applying it on textured walls, or was it pretty straightforward?

@GreenThumbJenny It was pretty straightforward! I used a thicker nap roller to get into all the nooks and crannies of the texture. Just make sure to not overload the roller to avoid drips. Took a bit longer, but the result was worth it.

Has anyone tried Biofa’s natural paints on textured walls? I’m curious about their performance compared to Earthborn and Auro. Looking for something with great coverage and eco-credentials.
@EcoWarrior2023 I’ve used Biofa in my bathroom, which has a light texture. The coverage was good, but it took three coats to get the depth I wanted. It’s definitely eco-friendly, but maybe not the best for heavily textured walls.

Just a tip for everyone considering eco-friendly paints: always check the ingredients list. Some brands market themselves as ‘natural’ but still contain synthetic additives. Earthborn and Auro are pretty transparent about their ingredients, which is why I trust them.

I’ve been down the eco-friendly paint road too and ended up choosing Auro’s natural paints for my textured walls. The durability is top-notch, and it really highlights the wall’s texture without flattening it out. It took a bit of patience to apply, but the end result was worth it. Plus, their commitment to sustainability is impressive. Definitely a brand to consider if you’re looking for something that lasts and looks great.

I tried Ecos Paints on my textured walls and was pleasantly surprised. It covered well, though I did need an extra coat to get the depth I wanted. The low VOC aspect is a huge plus, and it didn’t have that strong paint smell which was a relief. Application was straightforward, just make sure to use a roller that can handle the texture. It’s a solid choice if you’re prioritizing health and environmental impact.

I’m all about Earthborn Claypaint after using it in my kitchen. The texture came alive, and the color stayed vibrant even after a year. It’s breathable, which is great for older homes with moisture issues. Application was a breeze, and the coverage was excellent. It’s a bit pricier, but considering the quality and eco-friendliness, it’s worth every penny. For textured walls, it’s my go-to recommendation.

I’ve actually used Biofa’s natural paints on my textured walls last year, and I was pretty impressed. The coverage was solid, and it adhered well without needing too many coats. Compared to Earthborn, I found Biofa to be a bit more durable over time, especially in high-traffic areas. The eco-credentials are top-notch too, which was a big plus for me. Application-wise, using a thicker nap roller helped a lot with the texture.

Interesting to hear about Biofa. I went with Auro for my textured walls, and while the eco-aspects are great, I did find it needed a couple of extra coats for full coverage. Maybe it’s the texture of my walls, but it was a bit more work than I expected. I’m curious, did you use any special primer with Biofa, or did you go straight in with the paint? Thinking of giving it a try next time.

Auro’s natural paints are my go-to for textured surfaces. They’ve got this durability that’s hard to beat, and the finish is just stunning. It’s a bit pricier, but considering the quality and eco-friendliness, it’s worth every penny.

I tried Ecos Paints on a textured wall once, and while I loved the low VOC aspect, it did take a couple of extra coats to get the coverage I wanted. Not a deal-breaker, but something to keep in mind if you’re in a hurry.

That’s a solid tip about checking the ingredients list. It’s easy to get swayed by marketing, but the real deal is in what’s actually in the paint. Earthborn and Auro have been transparent in my experience, which is why I lean towards them.
Application technique is key on textured walls. I found using a thicker nap roller helped a lot with getting into all the nooks and crannies without overloading the wall with paint. It made a noticeable difference in the final look.

Has anyone considered the impact of the tools we use for painting? I’ve been looking into eco-friendly brushes and rollers. It seems like a small thing, but every bit helps when we’re trying to minimize our environmental footprint.
