What paint should you use for interior walls?

Choosing the right paint for your interior walls is really important and can affect the style of your room. We have selected a few options below to help you make a choice.

Super shine

If you’re decorating a bathroom, Super Gloss is a really popular choice. The extra thickness and shine means it’s more durable than most types of paint. The Super Gloss gives a beautiful, silky, smooth finish that dries quickly. Easy to apply, Super Gloss Acrylic paint is a great choice if your lounge or kitchen could use a touch of paint.

Its high stain resistance means it’s suitable for all interior walls, especially if you have a young family. It’s also really versatile and can be applied to wood, metal and regular plasterboard, so if you’re looking to cover large areas quickly, Super Gloss could be for you.

Durable Acrylic

If the extra shine provided by Super Gloss isn’t your thing, Durable Acrylic paint is a good alternative. It’s another versatile paint that gives you a more toned-down effect with a less silky finish. Interior Paint Colors Available in a variety of colors and many more that can be tinted upon request, this paint was designed with high-quality interior walls in mind. If you’re looking to finish a big job quickly, this is probably the choice for you, thanks to its fast-drying properties.

Super General Purpose Acrylic

Super General Purpose Acrylic is one of the most popular choices for interior walls. Ideal if you are not experienced in decorating, it is easy to apply with a brush or roller and gives you a standard, smooth matt finish. General Purpose Acrylic is durable, making it stain resistant and has a washable quality so you don’t have to re-apply a coat of paint every time you see a stain on your wall.

Eggshell enamel

If you’re after a slightly different finish, consider Eggshell Enamel. This paint will give your interior walls a soft, subtle sheen that will resist dirt and stains. Ideal for some of the busiest rooms in your home, Eggshell Enamel can be a good choice for smaller spaces like your hallways. Its reflective finish can brighten up even the darkest areas of your home.

Preparation

Whatever paint you choose you need to make sure you prepare the surface properly before applying any paint. For normal plastered walls you need to make sure the walls are nice and smooth before you start painting, this may involve filling any cracks and giving the walls a good scuff with sandpaper.
