A guide to interior paint
Paint the basics
If you are starting to spruce up your interior you may be considering the pros and cons of the range of paints available to you. You don’t have to be an interior designer to know your eggshell from your emulsion; I’ll take you through the basics.
Emulsion
One of the most popular types of paint, emulsion is a water-based, which makes it easy to apply and clean up after use. Emulsion comes in a range of finishes: matt is great for ceilings and low traffic areas, Eggshell and matt paint are close on the sheen scale, but eggshell has a slightly higher sheen than matt making it easier to clean and typically more durable. Satin or soft sheen is more durable and has a slight shine, and silk has a higher shine and works well in humid areas such as bathrooms and kitchens.
Gloss
Gloss provides a high-shine, durable finish that is ideal for areas subjected to wear and tear, such as doors, window frames, and skirting boards. The glossy finish looks polished and is easier to wipe clean than emulsion, making it suitable for high-traffic areas and sticky fingers. Gloss paint is also resistant to stains and moisture, which is why it’s frequently used on surfaces that may need to withstand frequent cleaning or exposure to the elements. Gloss used to be mainly oil-based, but today water-based alternatives offer easier application and quicker drying times.
Satinwood
Satinwood paint that offers a semi-shiny finish somewhere between gloss and matt. It is often used for woodwork, such as skirting boards, door frames, and furniture, and provides a soft, velvety look. Satinwood paints are usually water-based and provide a hard-wearing, washable surface, making them suitable for rooms that experience moderate wear, like living rooms and hallways. They are also easier to maintain than gloss paints, as they are less prone to showing fingerprints and dust.
Undercoat
Undercoat paint is a specialized primer that improves adhesion and prepares surfaces for the topcoat, ensuring a vibrant final colour. Enhanced Coverage: undercoat paint leads to a more consistent and colourful finish, often reducing the number of topcoat layers needed.
Picture it before you paint it
Colour inspiration is everywhere – on a cushion, or a pair of shoes, or the flowers in your garden. The new Dulux Visualiser app lets you pick a colour from anywhere and see it live in your living space.
