Factors to Consider When Picking an Interior Paint Finish

According to home remodeling experts, there’s another thing that you need to think about besides paint color: the paint finish. Since you have a wide range of options when it comes to the finish, there are a few things that you need to consider to pick the right one for your home.

Cleanability & Durability

When you’re trying to choose an interior paint finish for your home, experts strongly recommend that you choose one that is not only durable but easy to clean as well. That way, you’ll have an easier time cleaning without having to worry about damaging the finish in the process. With that in mind, if you’re looking for a durable and easy-to-clean paint finish, be sure to pick the shiniest one that you can find. It will hold up better compared to other finishes.

Kid-Friendliness

When looking for a paint finish for your children’s rooms, make sure that your remodeling contractor uses an eggshell or satin paint on the walls and semi-gloss finishes on the door and molding. These finishes are formulated to be able to withstand repeated cleanings, which you will do often with kids around.

Types of Finish

As stated before, you have a wide range of options to consider when it comes to paint finish. High-gloss paints, which are used on furniture and trim, may look beautiful but can easily magnify surface imperfections. Eggshell finishes, on the other hand, are good for most walls. They hold up better to cleaning compared to a flat finish or flat enamel paint.

If you’re having trouble choosing the right interior paint finish, be sure to enlist the services of your local home improvement contractor for help and advice.
