How To Protect High-Traffic Space’s Walls with Paint

If you are planning on having guests over frequently this winter, the walls of your gathering spaces may take a lot of wear and tear. At CertaPro Painters of NW Richmond & Midlothian, VA, we know selecting the right products can keep these interior areas looking great for years to come. Here are some of our interior painting tips:

Choose Durable Paint Finishes

Obviously, not all painting products are created equally, with some products being better suited for areas that are more susceptible to wear and tear. We recommend satin or semi-gloss finishes as they’re resistant to scruffs and are much easier to clean that flat finishes. Additionally, these finishes can handle a room’s daily use while keeping the walls looking polished.

Go with Neutral, Resilient Colors

Light neutrals and mid-tone colors conceal smudges and fingerprints better than darker shaders. Consider colors like gray, beige, or classic whites to brighten your space while hiding minor imperfections.

Consider Washable Paints

For areas that are prone to stains and scuffs, washable or scrubbable paints are a lifesaver. These paints are specially formulated to allow you to easily wipe away marks without damaging the finish.

Touch-Up Kits for Quick Fixes

For small touch-ups, we recommend having a small amount of paint on hand. Busy homes make small marks and scratches inevitable, so having a touch-up kit available makes it easy to address minor issues.
