One of the first conversations we love having with our customers when they first choose us to start painting their home’s interior rooms; is what type of paint to use. Not only will the type of paint offer specific durability, but it can determine the best look and often have helpful color options to help narrow down the choices. <\/span><\/p>\n

Most of the time, we suggest that our customers go to their local hardware store to take a look at the large variety of color options. Not only to pick their favorite colors but also the type of paint they\u2019d like us to use. We prefer to use Sherwin-Williams<\/a> paint, and we offer a great color visualizer<\/a> to help our customers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEvery paint out there will have a sample.\u201d says paint expert Sarabeth Asaff South.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGet as many samples as you can, and get some poster board. Play around with those samples…”\u00a0 Asaff South says. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Every paint out there will have a sample,\u201d says paint expert Sarabeth Asaff South.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, it can be overwhelming, we know. Also, knowing which room you\u2019d like to paint can make this process much smoother.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve put together a helpful guide (below) on the different types of paints to use, based on the rooms you are interested in being painted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Different Types of Paint Finishes<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u2022 Flat<\/strong> \u2013 Ceilings, dining rooms, adult bedrooms, Least reflective, best for low traffic
\n\u2022 Satin<\/strong> \u2013 Home Office, kids rooms, laundry rooms, kitchens, Indoor & outdoor, Pearl-like matte w\/hint of sheen, most popular, resists mildew
\n\u2022 Eggshell<\/strong> \u2013 Hallways, living rooms, entryways, Mid-traffic areas, Balance of matte and gloss, easy to clean w\/damp cloth
\n\u2022 Semi-Gloss<\/strong> \u2013 Bathrooms, Kitchens, higher traffic & higher moist rooms
\n\u2022 High-Gloss<\/strong> \u2013 Cabinets, Trim & molding, Most reflective, more decorate and easiest to clean
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

Different Types of Sheen<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"different

Paints that are without a sheen are referred to as flat or matte. They absorb more light, making them non-reflective or non-shiny.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paint finishes with a semi-gloss or a glossier sheen reflect light, giving it a shiny appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paints that have somewhat in between sheen do just that, they have a low to mid visible gloss absorbing a little light, reflecting a little light.<\/span><\/p>\n

Different Types of Paint Finish<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"different

Flat<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The flat finish provides a non-reflective, smooth appearance that is best for low traffic areas and walls, most often used on ceilings, dining rooms, but can be used on low traffic walls in the living rooms and adult or spare bedrooms.
\nThe matte paint uses fewer coats than the higher gloss paints and is easy to touch up and clean up by using a warm damp cloth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Satin<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Pearl-like matte with a hint of sheen, the satin finish is the commonly chosen option due to its versatility, durability, and ability to resist mildew and fading, great for indoor and outdoor use. Often ideal for busy indoor areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, kid’s rooms, play-rooms, and home offices. Easier to clean than lower-gloss finishes, allowing the use of gentle cleaners in moderation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eggshell<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The eggshell finish provides a more elegant, yet low sheet look, a smooth and softer finish that is perfect for low to mid traffic touched walls, such as hallways, entryways, and living rooms. It has a balance of matte and gloss, easiest to clean with a damp cloth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Semi-Gloss<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The semi-gloss finish, as much more reflective with a smoother sheen giving a room a shiny, sleek appearance on the walls. Often the semi-gloss is chosen for higher traffic rooms and they offer high resistance to moisture, working great in higher humidity rooms such as bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, doors, and utility rooms. One of the easier finishes to clean by using multi-cleaning options.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our Painting Expert Tip: We often use white and off-white paints in a semi-gloss to give rooms a brighter, more vibrant appearance than any other type of finish.<\/span><\/p>\n

High-Gloss<\/strong><\/h3>\n

High-gloss finishes are the highest-sheen option, almost glass-like finish providing the highest level of reflection. High-gloss finish is ideal for cabinets, doors, molding, trim as well as outdoor sots like shutters and window casings. The high-gloss is both decorative and easiest to clean.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choosing the right interior paint finish should be determined by the use of the room and most definitely will affect the final look of your room. With so many types of paint finish to choose from, we hope this guide has helped and we look forward to working with you!<\/span><\/p>\n
