5 Tips for Choosing the
Best Nursery Paint

1. Paint your baby's room as far in advance of the birth as possible. Choose zero-VOC paint. However, read the labels carefully (or contact the manufacturer), because some companies add other chemicals to minimize paint odor.
   
   Keep reading below to see a rainbow of zero VOC paint colors offered by Land of Nod and Posh Tots.
   
   
2. Look for The Green Seal to ensure that paint is environmentally-friendly.
   
   
3. Purer paint alternatives are made from earth pigments, tree and plant oils, beeswax, citrus-peel thinners or a milk derivative called casein.
   
   
4. Food-based paint, can be a good non-toxic paint option providing your baby has no food allergies.
