Decorating Tips

Few additions transform the interior of your home more than a new coat of paint. Interior paint adds variety, colour, and a touch of your personality to any room. Different interior paint colours can also be a great design tool, making larger rooms feel cosier and smaller rooms feel more spacious.

Here are a few tips when it comes to choosing paint for inside your home, so that you can feel confident you’re making the right paint decisions for your interior spaces.

Overwhelmed by the Options?

There are literally thousands of colours to choose from. First and foremost, look for colours that are pleasing to you.

Think Design when Choosing Interior Paint

You also want to think about what impact different interior paint colours are going to have on different spaces. Light interior paint colours make a room feel more spacious, and are an excellent choice if you’re dealing with tight, confined spaces. Darker colours work the opposite, and are best suited for larger, spacious areas where you want to reign things in a little bit. On the flip side, darker colours are also more comforting and inviting, making them perfect for entryways, living rooms, and other areas where you entertain guests. Lighter colours lack the warmth of darker shakes, making spaces feel more formal and proper.

Flat, Satin, Eggshell, Semi-gloss, and Gloss

The last decision you ' re going to need to make is which type of paint to use in each area. Flat paint is great for uses in areas that receive low traffic. Satin, eggshell, and semi-gloss paints are better for high traffic areas, since they resist staining and are easier to clean than flat paints. And if you really want an area or architectural feature to get noticed, use glossy paint to get that perfect shine. Of course, remember, the glossier the paint, the more you’ll notice imperfections in the painted surface as well.
