Blog The Science of Paint: How JL Painting Services Chooses the Perfect Finish for Every Room Nov 30, 2024

When it comes to painting your home, choosing the perfect finish for each room can make all the difference. At JL Painting Services, we understand the science of paint and how different finishes can enhance the look and feel of your space. In this blog post, we will discuss how we choose the perfect finish for every room in your home.

One of the first things we consider when selecting a paint finish is the function of the room. High-traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and bathrooms require a durable finish that can withstand frequent cleaning and wear. In these areas, we typically recommend a satin or semi-gloss finish, which is easy to clean and resistant to moisture.

For living rooms, bedrooms, and other areas where you want a more subtle sheen, we often suggest an eggshell or matte finish. These finishes provide a smooth, velvety appearance that is perfect for creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Matte finishes are also great for hiding imperfections on the walls, making them ideal for older homes or rooms with uneven surfaces.

Another factor we consider when choosing a paint finish is the amount of natural light in the room. Rooms with a lot of natural light can benefit from a glossy finish, which reflects light and creates a bright, airy feel. On the other hand, rooms with less natural light may look better with a matte or satin finish, which absorbs light and helps to create a more intimate and cozy atmosphere.

In addition to function and natural light, we also take into account the style and decor of the room when selecting a paint finish. For modern and contemporary spaces, a high-gloss finish can provide a sleek and polished look. In contrast, traditional or rustic rooms may benefit from a matte or eggshell finish, which complements the warm and cozy aesthetic.
