Whether you’re thinking of transforming your space or just revamping one element in the room, doing it in a healthy and thoughtful manner can serve you better in the long run. Just like how we consciously handpick the clothes we wear, the food we eat, and more, choosing non-toxic paints for our homes can also impact the quality of our lives.

When we’re indoors, the air that surrounds us is nearly 80 percent of the time harmful for us as well as the planet. We’re all quite aware of the toxic nature of interior paints and the ailments that they bring, so why not switch to a paint that won’t wreak havoc on your health and becomes an eco-friendly accessory for your home?
