What Type of Paint is Best for Me?

websitebuilder • 1 July 2021

 Are you currently painting and decorating? Have you any idea which paint does what, the difference between Satin and sheet, matt and gloss? 

 
Here's a guide to help you get the most from your property development. 


Matt emulsion - velvety, smooth and helps you to hide imperfections. This paint is best suited to 'less than perfect' walls that need some TLC. Matt emulsion paint is perfect on walls in older properties, helping to restore the character! 

Flat matt emulsion - Matt paint absorbs natural light, blending colours, hence Flat matt! Even more velvety, smooth and more specifically, works wonders on deeper shades of colours. 

Satin and Silk paint has a slight polished effect and reflect a bit of light. Satin allows you to clean marks off walls, which is perfect for families with little tots! Be aware this is less practical if the wall is bumpy as this is likely to show up more obviously. Silk is perfect for woodwork! 

Eggshell is a paint that holds less sheen that satin and silk and as the name suggests, looks like the surface of an egg shell. This is the perfect type of paint to use if you're wishing to achieve an elegant, classical look to your woodwork. If you're looking for a 'heritage' style look throughout your home, it can even be used on the walls! This type of paint is most commonly recommended for old Victorian and Georgian townhouses. 

Gloss offers a shiny finish on woodwork, reflecting plenty of light - perfect for paler colours. Whilst it provides a lovely contract to walls that are painted in matt, the best results will be achieved by ensuring that it is being used on a good quality service (lack of cracks, lumps and bumps)

Once you've selected a style and colour, it's time to get to work!

Living rooms are often the centrepiece of a home, but when space is limited, it can be challenging to design a room that is both functional and stylish. However, with a little creativity and strategic planning, it is possible to create a beautiful living room in even the smallest of spaces.  One of the most important things to consider when designing a small living room is to choose furniture that is both functional and versatile. A sofa that doubles as a bed, for example, can provide extra sleeping space for guests without taking up too much room. Similarly, a coffee table that can be transformed into a dining table can serve multiple purposes and save valuable floor space. New Paragraph
