I'm a new homeowner, and my fiance and I are looking to change some things up, starting with wall colors. I was curious to know if there were any paints that weren't overpowered with fumes/smell, or any that have the least offensive aroma?
Thanks for your time!
Are There Any Paint Brands w/o Fumes?
Yes there are new paints that are odorless or almost that way.Check with Lowes or Home Depot.Are There Any Paint Brands w/o Fumes?
Look for paints that are low or no VOC (volatile organic compunds). Those would be the ones to have less or no fumes. It seems that every line of paint has come up with a ';green'; paint so I would suggest you do your home work, shop around and look for the best color an/or price.
If you are using latex (water based) paint, add a tablespoon of vanilla to the paint and mix well, it removes a lot of the smell. Then put little bowls of baking soda in the painted room while it is drying overnight (toss the soda in the morning)
There are lots these days. In fact, all paint is less smelly than it used to be, especially water-based paint, but look for a low VOC(volatile organic compound) rating. If you don't mind the price and can find it, Farrow and Ball is one of the best around for quality and low VOCs.
