Different types of Wall Paints to Remember

The aesthetics of a building are not solely reliant on exterior walls; interior walls also play a vital role and serve a specific purpose.

Matte

Whether you are a professional painter or an amateur, matte is a popular and common type of pain. When applied to a space there is no shine or glare when it dries making it a very ideal choice for walls and ceiling. For some, having this feature of no glare or shine is important as it can cause some visual distraction. It is an easily applicable paint and can be done using a roller or a traditional paint brush. With matte though, while it provides a clean and polished finished, matte can be easily marked and can sometimes require retouching as a result of it.

Gloss

The opposite of matte, gloss is another common of interior wall paint choice. While painters choose gloss as a choice that is meant to be used as an accent wall due to its shine. It is a common paint choice for wood surfaces and woodwork – the downfall with gloss though is that if the surface has scratches or markups, it can be highlighted by the gloss. When painting with gloss, multiple layers can be required to ensure adequate coverage and evenness. As a result of the number of layers required on a wall, the process of using gloss paint can take longer than other paint choices.

Satin

Typically, when it comes to satin paint, this choice is often selected for rooms where the walls need to be washed or cleaned regularly. In these instances – satin is used in industrial buildings, doctors’ offices or medical buildings as these are environments where cleaning and hygiene is important. Satin can be best described as being a mix between matte and gloss therefore giving it subtle glossy shine to it.

Eggshell

Want a paint choice that offers the ability to clean the walls, that can hide subtle wall imperfections – the choice is eggshell. This is a choice of paint that can require a fraction less than most paints as it covers more. Going with eggshell paint would be going with a very easy to apply paint, not to mention that the fact that eggshell requires less paint – it is a popular choice for many people.

Matte Enamel

Similar to matte, matte enamel is not glossy or shiny. It is a painter’s choice when they are looking for something that is easy to clean or maintain and that’s durable meaning it won’t get chipped or damaged as easy as other paints. This type of paint is a popular choice in kitchens due its functionality and ability to clean them should you have any kitchen splatters. Similar to the application of matte, matte enamel is applied the same way.

When it comes to choosing paint for your office or bedroom, making an informed decision is crucial. It's not just about selecting colors; it's about understanding your goals and the functionality you want to achieve. By considering these factors, you can transform your space and go beyond simply adding color to it.
