  1. Wall Paint Finishes By virtue of the manufacturer, there are several sheen options available in the market these days. All the wall paint types, whether in matte finish or gloss finish, share some common properties. As durability improves across all sheen levels with newer paints, many people are finding creative ways to mix and match them. Try painting a stripe of full gloss on a matte wall in the same color to create a striking, textured look. Matte paint Least reflective sheen available Has a velvety texture Helps hide imperfections in walls designs and false ceilings Offers great depth of color Generally considered the standard sheen for walls Sometimes be difficult to clean • • • • • •

  4. Make a statement, but also highlight imperfections •

  5. Finally, it is important to remember that the paint you choose is only as good as the quality of the tools you paint with. Although you may think rollers or brushes are a good place to save money, using high-quality tools will help you achieve the best look. You may also want to consider spray painting your walls, which can be a great alternative to traditional rolling. Tips for choosing the right paint colours Find inspiration. Look around on Pinterest or anywhere else on the internet. Natural lighting is always best to see how color really looks. Ensure you get your lights right before selecting any paint colors. Include samples of surrounding shades, whether they're lighter or darker, cooler or warmer. In the light of the space, you should be able to quickly eliminate those colors that don't work in your room. You may need a couple of coats, depending on the depth of your new color choice. Avoid painting directly on the wall as the existing wall color can affect the look of the new color. • • • • • • • HAPPY PAINTING!
