Choosing A Finish For Your Interior Painting Job
When choosing a type of paint for your upcoming interior painting job, the first thing that may come to mind is what color to use. Yet no matter what shade you decide on, the finish of the paint is another major feature to keep in mind. Different types of finishes can change the atmosphere of a space and can affect how much maintenance your walls will need. Here are some points to consider when selecting the perfect finish for your interior painting project:
- Satin Finish
This type of finish is popular for high-activity areas. A satin finish is great for trim, windows and doors, as well as the walls of kitchens, children’s rooms, and bathrooms. With its slightly glossy finish, satin paint has a smooth, attractive appearance and will stand up to being hand-cleaned.
- High-Gloss Finish
A finish that is very glossy will reflect a lot of light, and is most commonly used with furniture and occasionally trim. It has a striking, dynamic look, and by reflecting a lot of light, it can make a small space feel larger. Glossy paint looks great on smooth, even surfaces, but it will also make any imperfections extra-visible.
- Eggshell Finish
An eggshell finish is a good choice for walls, providing a subtle hint of sheen without being too reflective. Although it is on the matte side, it’s still just glossy enough to allow for some occasional light cleaning.
- Flat Finish
A flat finish is a popular choice for interior walls, as it can mask subtle imperfections like bumps and cracks. It is not the best choice for high-traffic areas, however, as it is not easily cleaned and often needs to be touched up with more paint.
