As families become increasingly aware of the impact of household products on their health, the demand for safe, fume-free paint has never been higher. But search for “odourless paint” and you’ll find vague promises, clever wording, and - in some cases - statements that are simply not true.

So, let’s be clear: yes, there is a truly odourless paint, and it’s called Little Knights.

Why odour matters

Paint smell is your nose telling you what’s in the product. The telltale odour comes from volatile organic compounds (VOCs), used in conventional paints, which release gases that contribute to poor indoor air quality and are linked to a range of health concerns, especially for children.

A joint study by Karlstad University and the Harvard School of Public Health found even low-VOC water-based paints can emit harmful PGEs (propylene glycol and glycol ethers). These were associated with a greater risk of asthma, eczema, and hay fever in young children.

Beware the half-truths and clever wording

Some paint brands marketed as “odourless” might quietly note in the small print how fumes will disappear after two weeks. Others defensively claim odourless or “zero VOC” paint is a “myth”, calling it a marketing tool (oh, the irony!).

Time for some more honesty, peeps.

A better paint for the modern world

We’re here to take a stand against such disingenuous information. Our founder, Mark Gardner, set out to give families a better option, a complete rethinking of what modern paint should be - free from fumes, irritants, allergens, and misleading labels. A truly safe paint. That’s why Little Knights was created.

Our formulation is independently tested and verified as 100% VOC-free. And yes, even our gloss, furniture paint, radiator paint, and exterior ranges are completely odourless and 100% VOC-free. No other manufacturer comes close.

Little Knights proves 100% zero-VOC paint is possible. No caveats. No loopholes. Just paint that’s better for you and your family.

Peace of mind the moment you open the tin

Mark is a pioneer in safe, functional formulations used in everything from cosmetics to building materials. Alongside his wife and sons, Mark created a family-run business with a mission: to make a modern, safe paint people could trust.

That’s what we’ve done. And it's why thousands of families now choose Little Knights - not just for the stunning finish, but for the peace of mind they’ve made the best and safest choice for their home.

So, if you’re wondering whether truly odourless paint exists - yes, it does, and it’s called Little Knights. Once you try it, you’ll never want to use anything else.
