Interior paint colors in 2007 and 2008 continue to draw inspiration from nature, but how eco-friendly are the paints themselves? Which interior wall products for the home are not only inspired by nature, but are made with the environment and with your health in mind? While all house paints sold in the US need to follow laws regarding volatile organic compounds (VOC), some interior paint manufacturers go way beyond the minimum environmental requirements, and have created some truly eco-friendly interior paints for your home decor.
