Brief:

To create a range of paints with Earthborn Paints, that puts good design and style to the fore with Earthborn’s excellent environmental credentials.

Method:

Oliver has been working with Earthborn paints for some time – his range of 18 Eco Chic paints are a soft palette of naturally inspired muted colours.
Each palette is selected in tonal shades of the same colour so that you can use a range of lighter and darker colours in each room to add impact, with sufficient colours that you can paint the whole home in colours that really work together. Oliver’s Eco Chic range create the perfect backdrop for your home and life – leaving a blank canvas to hang and display the things that mean the most to you.
The Eco Chic range are “clay paints” and as the name suggests they have a high clay content meaning that they are very breathable – this is better for your home and better for you. They apply like conventional emulsions, with a brush or a roller but are lovely and thick – which helps cut down on splatters.
Clay paints allow moisture to pass through your walls, making them perfect for old houses. This permeability helps to balance out moisture levels in a home – this is good for spaces such as bedrooms, helping to prevent the build up of damp the formation of mould, and rot. They are also VOC (Volatile Organic Toxin) free, meaning that they don’t off gas off toxins into your home like conventional paints – so they are better for you, your home and the environment.
