Ultimate Guide to choosing the right Paint


 Picking the right color for your space will help achieve the ambiance you desires and it controls the illusion of temperature in the area as well. There are also some few considerations to check before choosing the right color and paint for your space. Color gives life into a space that is why you need to consider the element of lighting in the area in order to choose the appropriate color and paint especially if it is for interior walls.

It will be easier to choose the right interior wall color and paint if you have an idea about the lighting elements of the area. Use light, neutral, or pastel color palette in interior walls with less natural lighting access and dark or bold color palette into interior walls which has more natural lighting entry. With less natural light entry in a space, the lighter color shades will be needed to bounce the lighting into different areas like from ceiling bounces though the light-color painted walls to the floor. Unlike natural lighted spaces, there is already an effortless distribution of light so it will make it simpler to pick a color.




But choosing the right color for the walls is not just it, you also need to know what kind of paint you need for your project. There are two kinds of paint which you can choose for your interior walls. In instances that you can’t decide about the right interior wall paint for your project there are a lot of Interior Design Companies in Dubai who can help you.


Water-based Paint is the easier kind to use especially if you are the person who always thinks of changing wall paint colors habitually. It contains binder, filler and pigment dissolved in water. Water-based paints are water-soluble but become water-resistant when it’s dried up. It releases fewer fumes or toxic emissions, dries quickly, and is more elastic and resistant to cracking. It doesn’t require pre-treatment and it can be used to all kinds of surfaces. It can be cleaned easily by water so it won’t take must of your chore time.



Oil-based paint is used to areas in which you want the paint to stay permanently. It contains strong toxic emission that causes air quality problem in the area. But it is long-lasting and durable to low temperatures where there is high moisture. It has richer color and gloss finish than water-based paints, but takes a longer time to dry and hard to clean.

For paint finishes, there also many of its kind which you can choose from to add more texture to the chosen color and type of paint.

Flat Finish is usually used for ceilings, interior walls, and in areas with flaws like bumps and cracks. But this kind tends to be slightly chalky in texture.



Matte Finish is better used in areas where there is no need for much light to reflect because it has the least reflective finish. It provides a strong depth of color and good in concealing flaws but difficult to maintain cleanliness. Good for living room and bedroom interior walls.


Eggshell Finish is a well-known choice for household paint finishes because of its low maintenance, easy to clean, and conceals wall imperfections. It gives a very low shine just like a real eggshell. Suitable for kitchen and bathroom interior walls.


Satin Finish gives mere sheen that the eggshell finish. It is smoother like velvet and reflects more light than flat, matte and eggshell finishes. Same as eggshell finish, it is suitable for kitchen and bathroom interior walls for it is easy to clean.


Semi-gloss and Gloss Finish have shiny and reflective finish and easy to clean because of its durability. Most of the time, it is being used in trims, cabinets, furniture, windows, and doors. Often used as interior wall paint but sometimes used with accent wall because of the glossy finish that it provides.
