Interior Paint: Which Type Should You Use?

Nothing brightens up the inside of your home like new paint. A fresh coat instantly transforms the atmosphere of your home. Whether you choose neutral or bold colors,the fall and winter months are a perfect time to update your interior. But with the countless types of paint it can be confusing which to choose. This article will help you select the right paint for your rooms.

Flat

Flat paint gives walls and ceilings a smooth, powdery cover, veiling imperfection in texture and defying fingerprints and smudges. It is easy to touchup and absorbs light. Flat is an excellent choice for any room, except for high traffic areas.

Eggshell

Eggshell paint is durable and easy to clean, making it perfect for kitchens and bathrooms. It gives rooms a rich look and has just enough sheen to brighten up your shadowy bathroom, while not drawing attention to imperfections. When you paint your kitchen with eggshell, you can easily clean the inevitable spatters of food from cooking.

Matte

With its rich, velvety look, matte paint is ideal for your living room and hallways. Although less durable than eggshell, matte has more endurance than flat, and will hide defects in walls and ceilings. Matte paint will polish your hallways and make your family room more vibrant.   

Satin

Satin paint will make your bedrooms sleek and lustrous with its glossy shine. Satin can trasform a dim guest room or powder room into a luxe experience for your holiday visitors. It is shiny, however, and will show all imperfections. Ideally walls should be new or texture should be redone before painting with satin.
