Hey fellow eco-warriors! 
I’ve been diving deep into the world of natural paints for my latest home renovation project. I’m all about minimizing my environmental footprint, and choosing the right paint has been a big part of that. I’ve experimented with a few brands, but I’m curious about your experiences. Specifically, I’m looking for paints that not only are eco-friendly but also offer great value over time in terms of durability and coverage.
So far, I’ve tried Earthborn Paints and Eco Paints, both of which boast low VOC levels and are made from natural ingredients. Earthborn’s Claypaint has been a dream to work with on my plaster walls, offering a beautiful matte finish that’s breathable and durable. On the other hand, Eco Paints’ range has been fantastic for woodwork, with excellent coverage and a wide range of colors. However, I’m always on the lookout for new options that might offer even better value or performance.
What brands have you tried, and how have they held up over time? Are there any hidden gems out there that combine eco-friendliness with exceptional durability and coverage? Let’s share our experiences and help each other make more informed choices for our homes and the planet. 
Hey @GreenThumbJenny, great topic! I’ve been using BioShield Paints for a couple of years now, and I’m really impressed with their durability. Their Clay Paint is similar to Earthborn’s but I found it to be slightly more resistant to wear and tear, especially in high-traffic areas. Plus, their color palette is stunning!

I’ve had a good experience with Auro Paints. They’re a bit pricier upfront, but the coverage is excellent, and they’ve held up really well over time. Their Natural Paint range is perfect for anyone looking to minimize their environmental impact without sacrificing quality.

@GreenThumbJenny, the application process with BioShield is pretty straightforward. It’s similar to other natural paints, but I found it to be less streaky. Just make sure to stir it well before use!

@SunnyDaysAhead, don’t be nervous! Auro Paints are quite user-friendly. My tip would be to apply thin coats and let each coat dry thoroughly before applying the next. It might take a bit longer, but the finish is worth it.

Has anyone tried Livos Paints? I’ve heard they’re great for both walls and wood, but I’m curious about their eco-friendliness and durability.

@OceanBreeze45, I haven’t tried Livos yet, but I’ve heard good things about their Natural Oil Paints. They’re supposed to be very eco-friendly and durable. Maybe someone else here has experience with them?

I’ve been on the eco-friendly paint journey for a while now and stumbled upon Auro Paints. Their natural paints are something else, especially for those of us who are sensitive to smells. The coverage is decent, but it’s the breathability and how they age gracefully that really sold me. Over time, the colors seem to mellow rather than fade, which adds a unique character to the walls.

Interesting you mention Auro, I’ve heard good things but never tried them. I went with Green Planet Paints for my living room and was pleasantly surprised. The application was smooth, and it’s been over a year with no signs of wear. They claim to be 100% natural, and the lack of any chemical smell was a big plus for me. Definitely worth checking out if you’re still exploring options.

I’ve been using Ecos Paints for my kitchen cabinets and they’ve held up really well against moisture and heat. What I appreciate most is their commitment to sustainability, not just in their products but in their packaging and operations too. It’s a bit pricier, but knowing it’s a truly eco-conscious choice makes it worth it for me.

Has anyone tried Lullaby Paints? I came across them while looking for kid-safe options for a nursery. They’re zero VOC and have this innovative formula that’s supposed to be super durable. I’m curious about their performance over time, especially in a high-use area like a nursery. If anyone has experience with them, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I’ve been using Biofa Paints for a while now, and I gotta say, they’re pretty solid. Their eco-credentials are top-notch, and the paint itself is super durable. I painted my living room with it a couple of years ago, and it still looks fresh. The only downside is it’s a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for, right?
Interesting to hear about Green Planet Paints. I’ve been on the fence about trying them, but your positive experience might just push me over. I’ve been using Auro Paints for my projects. They’re a bit on the expensive side, but the quality and eco-friendliness are unmatched. Their natural paints have this rich depth of color that’s hard to find elsewhere.

I tried Lullaby Paints for my nursery and was really impressed. They’re specifically designed for kids’ rooms, so they’re super safe and eco-friendly. The coverage was great, and it’s held up really well against the inevitable crayon marks and sticky fingers. Plus, it’s nice to know I’m not exposing my little one to harmful chemicals.

I’ve actually used Livos Paints in my living room and kitchen. They’re pretty impressive when it comes to eco-friendliness, with all-natural ingredients and super low VOCs. Durability-wise, they’ve held up well against daily wear and tear, especially in the kitchen where spills and splashes are common. The finish is smooth and has a nice, natural look to it. Definitely recommend giving them a try if you’re after something that’s good for the planet and your walls.
