Picking the Appropriate Paint

(MS) - When it comes time to paint the interior of your home, there's more to consider than just color. One of the main considerations when choosing a paint is how often the room is used.

· Busy, high-traffic rooms: In general, rooms such as the kitchen and bathroom and areas such as hallways are the most used in a home. Because of that, you'll want a paint that won't buckle under frequent washings. Satin or eggshell paints are recommended for these areas, as they won't succumb to wear and tear.

· Show rooms: Many homes feature a living room that's not used very much, and an additional living or family room where friends and family gather to watch television or simply enjoy each other's company. In rooms that are primarily for show, flat paint is a good choice. Flat paint requires lots more work to clean, so you'll want to use it in lower traffic areas where the surfaces won't get as dirty. Best for surfaces where you'll want a low reflection, flat paint is often used for ceilings as well.
