Factors to Consider When Choosing an Interior Paint Finish

After you’ve chosen the perfect color for your interior, you might think that’s all there is to do. But there’s another thing to consider: the paint finish. With all of the paint finishes that are available, you have a lot of options to choose from. Ask yourself a few questions before finalizing your decision.

In this post, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Orland Park, the area’s premier home remodeling contractor, shares the things you should factor in when choosing an interior paint finish.

What are the types of finishes?

There are a lot of finishes available on the market, each of them made to fit different needs. Glossy finishes are primarily used on furniture and trim to give a striking appearance, but they tend to amplify any surface blemishes. Eggshell finishes are great on walls since they are easy to scrub and are known for better durability compared to flat enamel and semi-gloss finishes.

Is it child-friendly?

If you have small children, look for a satin or eggshell paint finish. These finishes offer a stylish look, plus they can handle repeated cleaning and hide flaws with ease. They are also a good option for areas with high foot traffic, such as kitchens and bathrooms, since they can handle light scrubbing without any problems.

Is it durable and easy to clean?

The main question that most homeowners ask during a home renovation project is if their desired finish is durable enough to last for many years. Aside from convenience, it’ll give them value since they won’t have to worry about repainting as often. If you share these concerns, your best bet is to look for a shiny paint finish.
