If it was only a matter of color then getting your home painted would be easier but you may also have to decide on a base (latex or oil) and a finish (flat/matte, eggshell/satin or semi glass/ high-gloss). To make your life easier, the article introduces you to the choices available to help you select the interior house paint that suffice your needs to its best.

Oil paint vs. Latex paint

Latex has faster drying-time as it is water based, compared to oil paint. With its resistant ability to fading, it will help in retaining the flexibility for a longer period of time. On the other side, Oil paint is alkyd based which dries slowly & has more durability. Unlike Latex, this is not affected by paramount temperature but it turns to yellow and become fragile with time.

Difference between variety of Interior house paint finishes

Flat or Matte paint

Flat paint is ideal to cover up the imperfections and most suitable for blemish surface such as nail pops and drywall seams. To have a smoother textured surface, flat paint is a great option however this won’t stand up for a longer period and lacks durability. Experts suggest matte paint especially for ceiling as it absorbs light giving it a flat look.

 Satin Paint

A perfect choice for living room, halls and bedrooms with more durability compared to flat paint. Like matte paint, satin can cover up the imperfections and best suited for blemish surface.

Gloss Paint (Semi and high)

Gloss paint can resist stains and dirt without being faded away with hard scrubbing. Giving a bright and lustrous finish, the gloss paint is recommended for high traffic areas such as kitchen and bathroom. The paint can hoard dirt and can actually accent the fault leaving no marks behind.
