THREE OF THE BEST ECO PAINTS

These new paints ensure that the air quality in your home is just as good as the colour scheme on your walls. Bauwerk’s lime wash (above, £22.50 for one litre; bauwerkcolour.co.uk) allows walls to breathe and comes in nine colours inspired by nature. Strong Natural Paints’ shades are also free from harmful pollutants, and the palette of 26 colours is designed to have a positive impact on your wellbeing (‘ Wroughton’, far right, £31 for 2.5 litres; strongnaturalpaints.co.uk). Oricalcum has exteriors covered with its Linseed paint, which can protect timber, masonry, and plaster (‘Haddon Estate Grey’, right, £38 per litre; oricalcum.uk).
