Earthborn Claypaint Wins Best Bedroom Paint at the 2026 Ideal Home Awards

We’re always pleased to see sustainable decorating products receive the recognition they deserve, so we were delighted to hear that Earthborn Claypaint has been awarded Best Bedroom Paint at the 2026 Ideal Home Awards.

The winning shade, Splashing, was praised by the judges for its ability to create a calm and restful environment—something many homeowners are looking to achieve in their bedrooms. As lovers of natural paints ourselves, we couldn't agree more. In fact, Splashing has become a firm favourite amongst Earthborn customers and is one of those colours that manages to feel both soothing and timeless.

Why Earthborn Claypaint is Such a Great Choice for Bedrooms

Bedrooms should be places where we can switch off, relax, and recharge. The materials and finishes we choose can play a surprisingly important role in creating that atmosphere.

Unlike conventional vinyl-based emulsions, Earthborn Claypaint is formulated using natural clay, giving it a beautifully soft, ultra-matt finish that absorbs and diffuses light rather than reflecting it harshly. The result is a gentle, calming aesthetic that works particularly well in bedrooms and other relaxing spaces.

The Ideal Home judges highlighted several of the qualities that make Claypaint stand out:

Low VOC Content

Many homeowners are becoming increasingly aware of indoor air quality and the impact decorating products can have on their living environment. Earthborn Claypaint contains very low levels of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), helping to create healthier interiors with fewer airborne pollutants.

Breathable and Moisture Regulating

One of the unique benefits of clay-based paints is their natural breathability. Claypaint allows walls to breathe and can help regulate humidity levels within a room, contributing to a more comfortable indoor environment.

Earthborn Claypaint has a Beautiful Ultra-Matt Finish

If you've ever seen Earthborn Claypaint on a wall, you'll know why so many people fall in love with it. Its distinctive ultra-matt finish creates exceptional depth of colour and a soft, velvety appearance that works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary homes.

Excellent Coverage

As many of our customers have discovered, Claypaint offers fantastic coverage, making it easy to achieve a professional-looking finish with minimal effort.

More Recognition for Sustainable Decorating

The celebrations didn't stop there. Earthborn's Silicate Masonry Paint was also Highly Commended in the "One Small Step for Sustainability" Garden category, further highlighting the growing demand for environmentally responsible decorating products.
