Choosing The Right Paint For Your Residential Interior Painting Job

Homeowners often struggle to make the right decision when it comes to choosing paint for the interior surfaces of their homes.

Whether for a new build or a remodeling project, a fresh paint job can turn dull-looking and uninteresting interior surfaces of a home into displays of grandeur. The following tips are designed to help you choose the right paint for your residential interior painting job.

Match your paint to your surfaces.

On the face of it, you may think that any paint works well for every surface. But far from it, there are many different types of paint formulations on the market to suit the requirements of different surfaces.

The first thing you need to understand before buying paint for your home's interior painting is that there's no such thing as a "one-size-fits-all" paint for all interior surfaces. You should choose your paint based on the surface you're going to paint.

When working with wood, for example, an oil-based or latex paint is a safe choice because it is effective at protecting the bare wood against water or moisture damage. When working with metal surfaces, choose paint that can protect the metal against rust and corrosion. 

Don't assume that the paint that you will use on your masonry walls will automatically work well on other surfaces.

Pick the right paint color for every room.

Paint is designed to protect your interior surfaces from the elements but also to make them look nice. When you're selecting paint colors for your home, you should keep in mind that what you choose will impact the interior design of the home. Every room is different, so make sure you choose a paint color that matches the look you want for every room.

Go for neutral shades if you want to add a touch of serenity and elegance to your living room, brighten up your kitchen with light shades, and select a light warm or cool shade if you want to make your bedroom look and feel romantic. 

With the right paint color, you can achieve the desired look and feel for every room.

With the right paint, painting tools, and some free time, you can get a decent job done of painting your home's interior surfaces. But if you want to take the guesswork out of the job, consider leaving it to the professionals.
