The right time and place for your paint finish

aint finish may be the last thing you think of when it comes to finding the right paint. Usually choosing a color is the first thing that comes to mind. After flipping through numerous fan decks, comparing strips of paint chips, and applying test swatch after test swatch, you’ve finally decided on the perfect shade. But the decisions don’t stop there—you will also need to consider the paint finish. Finishes may go by different names depending on the paint brand, but there are basically three standard types: Flat/matte, eggshell/satin, and semigloss/high-gloss—sometimes referred to as pearl. Each finish has a different level of shine and reflects light differently. You might be tempted to grab some

eggshell and call it a day, but choosing the correct finish can make a big difference in the look of your space and, how easy it is to clean. For that reason, some finishes are also better suited for certain high-traffic areas or rooms frequented by youngsters, such as family rooms, and kids’ bedrooms.

Home tips

Flat and Matte

Providing a simple smooth appearance, flat paint is recommended. This is because it doesn’t reflect light directly, meaning imperfections in walls and ceilings are much less noticeable. Flat paint will work best in low-traffic areas, such as the master bedroom, a study, or a formal living room.

Eggshell and Satin

Eggshell or low-luster, finishes are so named because the slight sheen they provide is similar in feel to the surface of an egg. Unlike flat paint, eggshell bounces light around the room while resisting everyday stains and scratches. Select a satin finish for

a slightly more reflective look. Satin offers more durability, making it a great finish for family rooms and children’s rooms.

Semigloss and High-Gloss

Bright and shiny, these finishes are beautiful, but they reveal every flaw on your walls. Experts therefore recommend using these finishes to highlight smaller details, such as trim, railings, shutters, or moldings. These glossy hues are also great for giving wood furniture a new lease on life. Because they are resistant to rust, dirt, and stains, semigloss is an ideal choice for busy baths and kitchens.

DIY GARDENING Start with easy plants Growing vegetables is a fun introduction to gardening. They don’t take as long to grow, so if you make a mistake you won’t have wasted months and months of your time.

#LANDSCAPING

Create bold contrasts

One of the easiest and most basic landscaping ideas is to create contrasts. Consider colour: if you paired rich burgundy-purple with chartreuse, the gold hues seem to become brighter and the purple tones can appear richer and darker. Used together, colours are much more effective than when used alone.
