How Do I Choose Paint Finishes For My House?

Question

Accepted Answer

As we know the higher the sheen, the higher the shine, the more durable and easy to maintain it is, and the higher the cost. But, a high sheen also reflects more light and hence imperfections like patches or reworked areas are easily noticeable. Gloss paints can be used in areas that demand attention and easy maintenance, like high-traffic living rooms, kid's rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms. If you have to impress your tenants with your freshly painted apartment and also save good cash then go for matte finish paints. They are easy to be painted over and do not show up minor imperfections as well. A smart tip is to use a combination of paints: Matte finish on ceiling and products of the desired sheen on walls.
