Whether you’ve just bought your first home or are looking for a spring refresh, tackling your first paint project is the first step to making a space your own. But with so many options to choose from, where to begin?
Here are a few tips and tricks to help turn your house into your dream home.
Paint qualities and functions
From high-hide coverage that expertly conceals existing imperfections, to a washable finish that makes it easy to remove marks and stains, not all paint is created equal. When selecting a paint, it’s important to consider the space’s function and the level of anticipated foot traffic. Kitchens and bathrooms might demand a paint that can withstand regular scrubbing and washing, while hallways might require a more durable, scuff-resistant paint.
Depending on the size of your paint project, you’ll want to ensure your selection can cover the entire surface area of your project while staying on budget. A great resource to determine the quantity of paint your project demands is Pittsburgh Paints & Stains’ Paint Calculator.
Deciding on the right brand and product
Once you’ve identified the primary functions of your paint, it’s important to select a product that will meet your project needs.
