 Interior Painting in Seattle? Pick the Right Product for Your Needs!

What do you look for in inte­ri­or paint?

Well, get­ting the col­or right is a big deal. Style is king! But you also need more than a pret­ty face, and are prob­a­bly look­ing for prod­ucts that will real­ly per­form. If you have kids or pets, this takes on a whole new lev­el of importance. 

Paint­ing a room like a kitchen or bath­room means that you need inte­ri­or paint that can with­stand mois­ture too, and the occa­sion­al scrub down. 

So, how do you pick the right paint for the job?

Start with the Right Inte­ri­or Paint Brand

Qual­i­ty mat­ters. It real­ly, real­ly does.

We know that the big box stores have a lot of cheap paint avail­able in fun col­ors with equal­ly attrac­tive price tags, but it ends up cost­ing you time and mon­ey in the long run. Low-cost paint is made with low-cost ingre­di­ents that just don’t per­form the way you need them to. They might look good for a while, but pret­ty soon you could be deal­ing with col­or reten­tion issues, adhe­sion prob­lems, or a fin­ish that can’t stand up to a busy lifestyle. 

Buy good paint. It real­ly is worth it. And if you’re work­ing with a pro­fes­sion­al inte­ri­or painter, ask what kind of paint they rec­om­mend and why. 

Which Paint Sheen Is Best for Your Inte­ri­or Paint­ing Project?

 Interior Painting in Seattle? Pick the Right Product for Your Needs!

Sheen” has to do with the lev­el of gloss your paint has. Or, in oth­er words, how shiny it is. Low­er-sheen paint (like mat­te or flat) typ­i­cal­ly is used for low-traf­fic sur­faces like your ceil­ing, while high­er-gloss prod­ucts are saved for cab­i­nets, trim, doors, etc. That shinier, hard­er fin­ish makes it real­ly tough!

The trou­ble is, a lot of folks don’t LIKE high-gloss paint. It’s hard­er to work with, not easy to touch up, and it makes any sur­face imper­fec­tions super obvi­ous. A lot of prep is required for a fin­ish to look real­ly smooth and good. 

Well, we have good news. 

In recent years, paint for­mu­las have come a long, long way. If you buy high­er-qual­i­ty paint, flat and mat­te fin­ish­es can be plen­ty durable for every­day use. You can have your cake and it too, with wash­able, strong paint that is also flat­ter­ing and stylish.
