Sustainable Design ( 3 )



Natural Paint

Natural paint based on plant oils, milk or lime and it’s completely safe and free of toxic
chemicals:



  • Solvent free paint

  • Milk paints

  • Clay paints: they are less durable but provide richer earth tones. You can use organic minerals and pigments to tint your own paint to the color you desire.

Companies I found online that offer natural paint:




Environmetal Fabrics
