Choosing the Right Paint Finish
· Matte/Flat
Absorbs light,
hides wall imperfections, but isn't durable or easy to clean. Best for ceilings, adults' bedrooms, and low-traffic areas.
· Eggshell/Satin
Offers a slight sheen and more durability, hiding some imperfections while being easy to clean. Ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, and dining rooms.
· Semi-Gloss Highly durable and scrubbable but doesn’t hide wall imperfections. Perfect for kitchens, trim, cabinets, and doors.
· Gloss The shiniest and most durable, great for surfaces needing frequent cleaning, but highlights imperfections. Use selectively on cabinets, trim, and doors.
How to Choose the Perfect Color for Your Kitchen Cabinets
When selecting a color for your kitchen cabinets, consider the overall style and size of your kitchen.
Lighter colors like white, cream, or soft gray can make a small kitchen feel more spacious and airy, while darker shades like navy, charcoal, or deep green can add sophistication and warmth to a larger space.
Additionally, think about how the cabinet color will complement your countertops, backsplash, and flooring. For a timeless look, opt for neutral tones that blend well with your existing decor.
If you want to make a bold statement, choose a contrasting color that highlights the cabinets as a focal point.
Always test the color in your kitchen's natural lighting before making a final decision, as lighting can significantly impact how the color appears .
Roll vs. Spray for Exterior House Painting: Which is Better?
When it comes to exterior house painting, homeowners often face a common question: roll or spray? Both methods have their advantages, depending on your project needs and desired finish.
Rolling: Pros & Cons
Using a paint roller gives you better control, ensuring even coverage, especially on rough or porous surfaces like brick or stucco. Rolling is also more precise, making it ideal for areas requiring attention to detail. However, rolling can be time-consuming, especially for larger homes or complex surfaces.
Spraying: Pros & Cons
Spraying, on the other hand, offers speed and efficiency, making it perfect for large surfaces. With a sprayer, you can achieve a smooth, even finish quickly. But it does come with downsides, such as potential overspray, meaning more prep time is required to cover windows, doors, and other areas.
Which Should You Choose?
For a professional, uniform finish with faster results, spraying is often the preferred method for exterior painting. However, for smaller homes or those with intricate architectural details, rolling might be the better option. At Floor and Paint on Budget, we combine both methods, depending on what’s best for your home’s unique needs.
