Painting your home ahead of the festive season

It’s December. Mariah Carey is defrosted, turkeys are being pre-ordered and advent calendars are being opened meaning one thing: It’s time to refresh your home ahead of the festive period.

Why should you paint your home ahead of the festive season?

With all of the excitement surrounding the festive period, painting their home is probably the last thing on many people's minds, yet painting your home before family and friends arrive for their festive feasts and more will give them one less thing to be critical about.

Similarly, giving your walls and woodwork a new coat of paint will make all of your decorations stand out even more against a beautiful, flat emulsion - especially if you opt for light and bright Claypaints by those by Earthborn.

Earthborn’s breathable Claypaint is a luxurious, ultra-matt finish for interior walls and ceilings, made using their own unique eco-friendly clay recipe.

Eco-friendly paint has numerous benefits compared to traditional paints and provides a safer alternative not only for the planet as most eco-friendly paints are water based, and the natural ingredients and components in eco-friendly paint also mean its biodegradable.

In addition to this, eco-friendly paint, such as Earthborn Claypaint are free from harmful volatile organic compounds (or VOCs) which can cause both short and long-term health effects for up to five years after the paint has dried.

Earthborn Claypaint is a highly breathable flat matt paint, and an added bonus as a result of this means it’s especially suitable for use over lime.

In addition to its environmental benefits, Earthborn Claypaint is a dream to paint with. Available in a beautiful palette of 72 shades, this luxuriously thick and creamy paint goes on like a dream and often requires fewer coats than conventional emulsions.

What colour Earthborn Claypaint should I use?

Great question!

As Earthborn Claypaint stockists, we can provide Earthborn Claypaint in all 72 colours.

The post popular Earthborn Claypaint is White Clay, is a little less bright than a standard white emulsion, making it easy on the eyes - and perfect for creating a soft yet clean sanctuary.

Furthermore, it’s incredibly versatile, working in every setting - for any occasion and decoration.

Can-Can

If you live your life loud, Can-Can is the one for you. Moulin Rouge inspired Can-Can in Earthborn Claypaint gives a good kick of pinky red colour to your décor, which will look perfect against a beautifully green Christmas tree, gold decorations and twinkling string lights.

As red can be a little intense - we would suggest a feature wall to build up the heat and to act as a focal point in the room; especially in addition to heat, red as a colour evokes passion and energy which are feelings you want to encourage in the festive season.

Toy Soldier

If red is a little too bold, how about going deeper and darker with a navy blue?

Earthborn’s Toy Soldier is a deep midnight blue; the perfect backdrop against any festive decoration - be it a Christmas tree, or Menorah, this colour will have your back.

Navy is a traditional and incredibly versatile colour that will have its place in your home all year round, as well as many years to come.

A style tip for after the festive period would be to incorporate Earthborn’s Clay White into the mix to create a nautical feel. It’s a classic, coastal and clean looking - perfectly timeless for any home - especially yours.

Hippo Hooray

If you’re looking for something that’s versatile, all the time that’s not white claypaint, look no further than Hippo Hooray, which is quite simply labelled as a well-balanced grey.

Looks grey-t if you ask us.
