ᐅ Is it really necessary to use natural or eco-friendly paint for painting a child's bedroom?

Hello,
I would like to paint the children's room and need some good advice. Do I absolutely have to use organic paint for this, or is a good-quality paint from a hardware store also acceptable? This is also a matter of budget, as the organic paint costs almost twice as much. What do you think?

You can also get safe paint at hardware stores. You don’t necessarily have to buy an eco-friendly paint. The important thing is to always ventilate well and for a long time, no matter what type of paint you use. Because all paints contain chemicals; I don’t think there is any paint made entirely from natural ingredients!

Hello,

There are paints certified with the "Blue Angel" label, which indicates low emissions. This means they are not harmful to the environment or health – essentially safe. They contain very low levels of solvents and formaldehyde, minimal preservatives, and the amount of plasticizers is below 1%. They are especially suitable for people with allergies. These are not truly organic paints but are simply considered safe in terms of health.

Hello,
I don’t think it necessarily has to be organic; everything available on the market today has been tested for harmful substances. It’s best to make sure that the paint was produced domestically. That way, you can be sure that all standards have been met. With paints coming from abroad, you can’t be so certain!!

First of all, when buying paint with a focus on quality, it is best to purchase it from a professional trade store, or even better, from a master painter. The expert knows what quality means and can also explain that products labeled ELF or with the Blue Angel eco-label are safe to use. It is best to choose a product of high quality—it may be a bit more expensive initially, but due to its coverage and durability, it is ultimately more cost-effective.

Standard DIY store paint is usually sufficient, as all paints are tested for harmful substances, so such substances should not be present in paints sold at DIY stores. BIO (organic) products are always a matter of personal preference, as they are often overpriced products and usually offer little added value.
