Choosing the paint finish may seem like a simple task, but it is a decision that can make all the difference in the outcome of a painting project. The chosen finish not only affects the aesthetic appearance but also the durability and ease of maintenance of the paint.
To help you make this choice, we have gathered some important tips that will inspire you to make the decision:
Consider the environment
- Before choosing the paint finish, it is essential to consider the environment in which the paint will be applied.
- Think about the decoration style, lighting and the use of space. More formal environments, such as living rooms and bedrooms, usually benefit from more sophisticated finishes, such as satin or matte. On the other hand, busier environments, such as kitchens and bathrooms, result in the brightest finishes.
Evaluates the surface to be painted
- Another important aspect to consider is the surface to be painted. Walls with imperfections, such as cracks or textures, we advise matte finishes, which help to disguise imperfections. Smoother and more uniform surfaces can receive any type of finish, according to your aesthetic preference.
Think about practicality
- In addition to aesthetics, it is important to think about the practicality of the chosen finish. Glossier finishes tend to be easier to clean. On the other hand, more matte finishes can be more difficult to clean, but if you make sure you choose a paint with a high resistance to rubbing, you won’t lose finish quality, even on more complicated stains.
