Earthborn, a small company with big ideas was started in 2002 by John Dison as a true eco alternative to conventional paints - before being eco friendly was something homeowners, DIY-ers and decorators alike commonly looked for in a paint.
That’s the thing about Earthborn - ahead of the curve, with their dedication to their perfectly pigmented range of Claypaint.
Read on to see how you can bring the best of outside in, with the uniqueness of Earthborn’s Claypaint today!
This time of year, we all long to be outside enjoying the light evening skies, and the warm breeze, but when the summer season is over, the evenings are darker and the air has a chill, it’s nice to be surrounded by the things we enjoy as a reminder that summer will once again return!
Earthborn have really honed in on these feelings, and have spent the last 20 years curating a classic range of paint in 72 distinct colours that have been developed in-house - and due to the unique qualities of Claypaint, are entirely bespoke to Earthborn.
Let’s explore some of the warm tones in the range.
No longer relegated to a rainy day, Muddy Boots is lovely warm colour suited to homes with rustic and country vibes. If you’re wondering what colours it works well with, it goes well with anything that has warm undertones, such as Earthborn’s Secret Room or Sunday Stroll - great greens to create the ultimate earthy chill space.
If you’re looking for something that has more of a contrast, think literally of muddy boots on a light carpet. That’s right, how about adding a contrast with White Clay or Up Up Away?
Top tip: Adding a light colour above a darker colour in a room helps to open the space and make it feel bigger. Consider separating the colour with a dado rail which will allow for a sleek transition, or the perfect opportunity for a pop of crazy colour in a room!
If Muddy Boots is not your bag, and you prefer your paints on the lighter end of the spectrum, you should consider Earthborn’s colour of the year - Lily Lily Rose.
A subtle combination of pink, lilac and grey, Lily Lily Rose provides a delicate touch of colour that brings the beauty of the summer lilacs indoors to enjoy all year round.
Being a perfect combination of three colours, Lily Lily Rose is super versatile and can be used in many different settings and schemes - and even on the ceiling!
That’s right! If you’re painting your walls Lily Lily Rose, take the colour up a notch to the ceiling too. Painting your walls and ceiling the same color can make your room look bigger because the seamless transition from wall to ceiling will draw eyes upward, giving the illusion of more space.
Did you know? You’re no longer limited to white ceilings if your home is older or prone to damp. Earthborn’s Claypaint is an excellent choice for ceilings as it’s highly breathable - which is crucial if damp is an issue, meaning there is no need to compromise on colour!
Seagulls are the pinnacle of freedom!
Alongside freedom comes visions of open space which actively invites this gloriously cool, pale grey with just a hint of green indoors. Like the softness of a feather, Seagull is both soft and soothing in colour, bringing the best shades of summer indoors to be enjoyed until you’re ready to change your colours again!
Being both green and grey, you have two colours that complement this hue perfectly. If you want to make your visitors green with envy, consider combining with Sapling or Grassy which will bring out the green from Seagull.
If you prefer the cool tones of the grey within Seagull, Earthborn’s Nellie or Tick-Tock work really, really well to bring those out further, allowing for rooms to be accessorised with pops of colour to add to the contrast of the tones.
If the neutral tones of nature don’t reflect you, let’s visit the opposite end of the spectrum and bring the brightness of the sunniest days in!
Did you know? All Earthborn’s paint finishes in their Classic range are suitable for vegans! Many vegans choose Earthborn because, like you, they care about the environment and our impact on the planet.
The next two colours are sure to bring a smile to your face all year round as they truly represent the best parts of a hot, summer’s day!
Inspired by the natural yellow of wild flowers, Earthborn’s Daisy Chain is guaranteed to bring a little brightness to even the darkest corner.
Yellow works well with most colours whilst evoking different feelings dependent on the colour combination. Yellow alone adds warmth and has the power to make spaces seem bigger, but if you add blue, you have a great energetic mix.
Speaking of blue, you won’t be feeling blue with Earthborn’s The Lido.
Like the shimmery waters of a tropical ocean, or the depths of your local pool, Earthborn’s The Lido is the perfect opportunity to take the plunge and add a splash of blue into your home as a feature wall, or if you’ve got issues with committing to diving into a full wall of colour, Earthborn’s The Lido is available in a range of finishes that will help you to upcycle furniture and flourishes of colour in smaller ways.
