What type of paint should you use for interior walls?

The type of paint that is best for interior walls depends on the size of the room, the preferred finish and the colors being used. Consider the size of the room first, since lighter colors work best in smaller rooms.

Kitchens and bathrooms look great with semi-gloss or gloss paint, while satin and low-luster paint is good for hallways, bedrooms and play areas. Use flat paint for ceilings and any low-traffic areas of the home.

For the color, don’t be afraid to go bright and bold when the room’s size and architecture warrants it. Let it reflect the personality and décor of the home and the people living there.
