What to Look For When Choosing Residential Paint Products

Need to buy luxury paint for your next home project? Leading paint manufacturers in Australia offer a full range of paint products for nearly all applications. With the wide array of choices available to you, choosing the right paint for your home can be a confusing task. 

Here are some tips to help you choose the right type of paint for your residential painting projects.

What kind of surface or material are you painting?

When it comes to painting your home, all paints fall into one of two broad categories: interior and exterior paints. Interior paints are meant to be used within the house while exterior paints are designed for outdoor use, as their names suggest.

When choosing paint for your home's interior, it's important to carefully think about the type of paint you'll need. If you're renovating your bathroom or other room of the home that is prone to high moisture levels, choose interior paints that are specifically formulated to be used in high-moisture areas of the home. If you intend to repaint the wood cabinetry in your kitchen, buy specialty interior paint for timber items as these come in a variety of finishes that will create the look you want for your cabinets.

As for exterior house painting projects, you'll need to choose paints that can stand up well against daily exposure to the outside elements, including rain, direct sunlight, high humidity, and other weather extremes while maintaining the exterior appearance and beauty of your home year-round.

What kind of look are you going for?

Beyond protecting the substrate surface or material from the elements, paint application also contributes to the overall appearance and beauty of your home interior or exterior. That said, residential paints come in a huge range of colours to create almost any look you want for your home.

When choosing a paint colour or colour combination for your interior painting project, consider the interior design of the home. Go for colours that complement the look of your furniture, carpet flooring, and other interior furnishings.

When picking exterior paint colours, be guided by the look of the features surrounding your home, as well as the style and look of other houses in your neighbourhood. The last thing you want is for your house to detract from the overall look of properties close to you.

The proper selection of paints is crucial for ensuring the success of house painting projects. If you need help selecting the right type of paint for your home projects, consult a local paint supply company.
