    Default Paint with less smell

    Painting the wood doors and trim in our house white and all the bedrooms. The ceiling paint we bought from SW stinks. Suggestions for something better? Also need suggestions for wall paint. We’ve used SW in the past (Harmony which was ok but not great) and it’s on sale this weekend but open to suggestions. DS has asthma.

    I find all paints to be a lot better nowadays. But, if you're really sensitive, Benjamin Aura or Natura could work. No VOCs.

    We’ve used both of above and recommend both. Never had a smell issue.

    Benjamin Moore Natura. I am extremely sensitive to smells, and it’s the only paint I will use. I paint a lot.

    Think I’m going to give Natura a try. Do they make trim and ceiling paint too?

    We used the no VOC option from Home Depot, Behr Premium Plus. Great paint, no odor.

    I just painted a room tonight (wood trim and doors) with BM Natura Linen White Semi gloss interior paint. My entire house's wood trim is that color BM. I had never used the natura before, I was shocked NO ODOR at all. It looks really good.
