🎨 Best Paint Finishes for Each Room
Choosing the right paint sheen is just as important as the color. Here’s our pro guide regarding paint finishes:
| Room | Recommended Finish | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Living Room | Eggshell or Satin | Smooth, soft sheen that’s easy to clean |
| Kitchen | Satin or Semi-Gloss | Resists grease, easy to wipe down |
| Bathroom | Semi-Gloss | Moisture-resistant and mold-resistant |
| Bedroom | Matte or Eggshell | Cozy and non-reflective |
| Hallways & Entryways | Satin | Durable against scuffs and fingerprints |
| Ceilings | Flat | Hides imperfections, low-reflection |
đź’ˇ Pro Tip: Glossy finishes highlight wall imperfections, so only use them on smooth surfaces.
🛠️ Common Interior Painting Mistakes to Avoid
Even seasoned DIYers make these mistakes—here’s how professionals avoid them:
❌ Skipping Prep Work
Rushing into painting without proper wall prep leads to peeling and uneven surfaces.
❌ Using Cheap Paint
Low-cost paints require more coats and don’t last. We use premium brands like Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore.
❌ Ignoring Humidity
Painting on humid days can delay drying and ruin the finish. We monitor temperature and moisture levels to ensure the perfect cure.
