✅ Introduction
Choosing the right paint is more than picking your favorite color. It’s about durability, mood, lighting, and surface material. Whether you’re painting your living room or refreshing your home’s exterior, here’s a complete guide to selecting the perfect paint.
🎨 1. Know Your Paint Types
- Interior Paint: Designed for easy cleaning and minimal fumes. Choose between matte, eggshell, satin, or gloss depending on the room.
- Exterior Paint: Formulated to withstand sun, rain, and temperature shifts. Use only high-quality weatherproof paint for lasting results.
🌈 2. Think Beyond Color — Consider Finish
Each paint finish has a different effect:
- Matte/Flat: Great for hiding imperfections, but not easy to clean.
- Eggshell/Satin: A balance of soft look and durability (ideal for living rooms).
- Semi-Gloss/Gloss: Reflective and easy to clean — best for kitchens, bathrooms, or trim.
💡 3. Test Colors in Real Lighting
Paint samples can look completely different in natural vs. artificial light. Always test on a small wall section and observe how it looks during the day and night.
🧱 4. Match Paint to Surface Type
- Drywall? Use water-based latex paint.
- Wood trim? Go for oil-based or enamel paint.
- Stucco or brick? Use breathable masonry paint made for exteriors.
🧽 5. Don’t Skip Prep Work
Even the best paint won’t look great without a clean, prepped surface. Sand, patch, and prime as needed — or let professionals like us handle it.
