Painting Your Home? Consider These Design Tips

Painting is one of the cheapest and quickest

methods for transforming an old room into

something brilliant. To help you choose the

right paint color, consider the following

information.

Choosing the Right Shade of Paint

Paint comes in a number of different sheens,

as well as latex and oil. Latex tends to be

the most common of all paints because of

how long it lasts and how simple it is to

clean. It also resists fading and breathes a lot better than its oil counterpart,

which means less blistering in your paint. If you need to prime real wood

trim or moldings, you might want to use an oil paint. It works great at

sealing in the stains far better than that of latex paint. Plan for additional

drying time with oil paints.

Determining the Proper Sheen in Your Paint

When it comes to the glossiness of the paint, the glossier the better in terms

of clean-up. For those with small children or high traffic rooms, you want to

get a high gloss that allows you to easily wipe it down using a damp sponge.

Rooms such as the living room should opt for something different as it could

make it more obvious if there is an imperfection or blemish. High gloss

works wonders for trim. It delivers a nice look that complements the flatter

sheen you choose for your walls.

Semi-gloss paints are ideal for bathrooms and kitchens because they are

easy to clean and less shiny compared to glass. They are also a little less

expensive, which is why many people opt to use this finish in their homes.

Satin sheens deliver a satiny finish that makes them ideal for hallways,

bathrooms and kitchens. If you want something that is glossy, while still

being easy to clean, this is the perfect choice for you.

When you have walls that have a great deal of imperfections, you should opt

for matte or flat paints. Normally, you only have to use a single coat of flat

paint. The only bad thing is that this particular paint doesn’t withstand

cleanings very well. It also shows off fingerprints and dirt far more than

some of the other options out there. Eggshell is a popular sheen for hiding

imperfections. It is similar to that of a flat, but a lot smoother and durable

than other alternatives. This tends to be one of the best options available.

Choosing the right paint can be difficult enough, but it doesn’t have to be

when you have a trained professional working on your side. Take the time to

discuss the alternatives with someone who is an expert in the field to help

simplify the process for you.
