Paint Collection

Author: Jakob Jelling

There are two main types of paint accordance - latex and oil based. Oil based paints are best for wood walls and trim if you are worried about staining or otherwise sealing the wood off. Oil paints will not mix with water and might be best if you are worried about moisture getting into your walls. With that exception, however, latex paints are superior for homes. The reason for this is that the latex paints will not peel and should be easier to clean.

Finally, the sheen that you choose is up to you. Keep in mind that the glossier the paint is, the easier it will be to clean. Therefore, using matte paint is a good idea for rooms in which the walls will not be touched often. For children’s rooms or other places where the walls are likely to get dirty, you should go with a glossier paint.
