Painting interior rooms with brighter lighter type colors are known to give the rooms a much bigger and spacious feel. Paint type and finish are going to be a major determining factor depending on what room your painting. Egg shell sheen paint is a great option hiding imperfections and its easy to clean, flat paint sheen is the best choice for hiding imperfections and has no reflection to light, satin sheen have a very durable finish and are best used in wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens, gloss sheen paints are the shiniest and easiest to clean and are extremely durable. They are widely used on cabinets. semi gloss, not as shiny as gloss but still very shiny and durable is most commonly used on casing, base molding, and crown molding. Flat paint sheens are best used on ceilings because the dont reflect light, plus they also dont reflect light hardly at all. Priming your walls is a necessary step when it comes to painting your interior, used for stain covering, all new drywall and spackle needs to be properly primed before applying paint coats. Priming allows finish coats to look great and choosing to skip priming will cause finish coat paints to not adhere very well and fail prematurely. If your walls are caked up with a lot of stains its recommended to use an oil based primer instead of water based. If your painting over existing painted walls and are painting with a similar color then a lot of times you can go without primer. Some common paint base types include water based acrylic, oil based paint, enamel paint, and latex paint. Water based paints are the easiest to apply as well as clean up and are generally less expensive. Oil based paints are more durable and longer lasting but require more and safer preparation work, ventilation and clean up usually takes longer. Oil based and alkyd based enamel paints are best suited for cabinet painting jobs. These types of paints have the strongest binding capabilities and are super durable. Cabinet paints have a high resin content to them which is perfect for deflecting stains from constant handling and touching. If you do choose to repaint your kitchen cabinets i would recommend stripping and sanding old paint off for attaining the best final finish.
