In 2025, painting isn’t just about colours anymore — it’s about health, wellness, and conscious living.
As homeowners become more aware of indoor air quality, allergies, and eco-living, one hot topic is rising above the rest:
Low-VOC and non-toxic paints.
🧪 What Are VOCs?
VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) are chemicals found in traditional paints that can off-gas into the air for days or even weeks after painting.
They can cause:
- Headaches
- Breathing issues
- Skin irritation
- Worsening of asthma or allergies
- Poor indoor air quality
For families, especially those with young children or elderly members, VOCs can be a silent health hazard hiding in freshly painted rooms.
🏠 Why Low-VOC Paints Are Trending in 2025
Homeowners across Melbourne are now requesting low-VOC or zero-VOC paints for their bedrooms, nurseries, living rooms, and bathrooms — and for good reason:

Top Benefits of Low-VOC Paint:
