Types of Paint finishes also called different Sheen's:
Matte Finish:
Whether called flat finish or wall paint, this type of interior paint has a matte surface. This paint finish is usually used on interior walls. It's expecially good if you have to camouflage small wall bumps, cracks, or other imperfections, as this finish does not reflect light. While some flat paints are advertised as washable today, you may need to touch up scratches or marks by covering with a bit more paint, so be sure you keep some on hand after you've finished painting.
Flat Enamel:
Flat enamel is a paint with a durable flat, matte finish. It's a good choice for powder rooms and halls, as it holds up to occasional cleaning.
Eggshell Finish:
If you can picture the very low sheen of the shell of an egg, you have an idea of how an eggshell paint finish will appear. With only a slight hint of shine or gloss, it's good for walls and holds up better with cleaning than a flat finish paint.
Satin Finish:
Satin finish paint has a smooth, velvety look with a bit more gloss. It is most often used for windows, doors, trim, or ceilings, but can also be used as wall paint. This is particularly suitable for kids' room walls, kitchens, or bathrooms, or in areas which get a lot of traffic. Paint with a satin finish is formulated to hold up to cleaning and light scrubbing.
Semi-Gloss:
Semi-gloss paint is most often used on doors, trim, and cabinets in kitchens and bathrooms. It is easily cleaned and lays down a nice, subtle shine, without being too glitzy. Take care with pre-paint preparation work, as poorly prepared surfaces can be a bit distracting when highlighted by a semi-gloss surface.
Glossy:
High gloss paints have an almost reflective quality, as their shiny finish mimics the look of enamel or plastic. Though not widely used in home interiors, it is becoming more popular for a dramatic look on cabinets, trim, and furniture in very formal and very contemporary settings. This finish will magnify any surface imperfections, so careful preparation and sanding is essential before painting with high gloss paints.
Some Ideas for different Interior Painting Projects:
Painting stripes on a wall is a great way to create a personalized and decorative look. It's not very difficult and can be done in a relatively short amount of time.
Materials Needed
Materials Needed
- Paint in desired colors and finishes
- Painter's tape (you might need several rolls depending on the size of the room and the number of stripes you'll be creating).
- Pencil
- Level
- Brushes and/or rollers
Where to Paint
Depending on the kind of look you want to create you can try this project just about anywhere. An entire room painted in stripes creates a bold look while a single wall creates a great focal point. And a striped ceiling is a very unique and fun look!
If you're a little nervous of this project and whether or not you'll like the results try it in a space that you don't spend too much time in such as a powder room. The small size is less daunting and you likely won't get sick of it too quickly.
Another great place for a striped feature wall is a kitchen. The look can be quite fun and cheerful and suits the happy disposition of such a cheerful room. It's also a great look for kids' bedrooms.
Vertical Stripes vs. Horizontal Stripes
Vertical and horizontal stripes can create two very different looks. Vertical stripes tend to make a room look taller while horizontal stripes can make a room appear wider. Think about the space before you start and figure out which look will suit it best.
Colors
The sky's the limit when it comes to color decisions. If you want something bold you can use two different, contrasting colors. For a subtler and more classic look try using the same color only in different finishes (such as matte and glossy). If you want something really fun try using several different colors and creating a stripe-on-stripe effect (see below for instructions).
The great thing about painting stripes on a wall is that it can be completely customized to suit your taste and your home.
How to Paint Stripes on a Wall
Step 1:
The first thing to do is to paint the entire wall in the lightest color you're going to be using. Then use a pencil to lightly outline the stripes on the wall. Be sure to use a level to make sure all the lines are even. You can do an even design creating lines that are all the same size, but stripes of varying width can add a lot of interest and depth to your space.
Apply painter's tape to the pencil lines being sure to use one long length of tape (even the slightest rip or discrepancy in the tape line will be noticeable). Make sure the tape is firmly stuck to the wall.
Step 2:
Paint the stripe color between the lines where desired. Make sure to paint a little over the edge of the tape to ensure you've got everything covered. If you're doing stripes of several colors let each color dry completely before moving on to the next one. Use separate rollers and/or brushes for each color so you don't have to continuously wash them.
Step 3:
Let all of the paint dry completely. This is very important! Once it's dry, peel off the tape. Try to pull it off on an angle so the paint doesn't peel as you remove the tape. If the paint isn't completely dry it will likely peel.
If that's all you're doing you can stop there. To create a stripe-on-stripe effect, continue on to the next step.
Step 4:
To create a stripe-on-stripe effect (or ticking look) you'll want to go back and repeat steps one and two on top of already painted areas (wherever you would like the new, smaller stripes to go). You may find that in this process you're painting a light color on top of a dark color. If this is the case you'll want to be sure to use enough coats to completely cover the base coat. Continue this process until you've finished creating the design you desire. Again, be sure to let the paint dry completely before removing the tape. The last thing you want is peeling paint when you're so close to being finished.
Once all of the tape has been removed stand back and admire your creation!

1. Decorating with Yellow
Despite its popularity, yellow has a reputation for being a bit difficult. It's easily influenced by what's around it and it can change dramatically with the amount of light that comes into the room. No matter how much time you spend pouring over paint chips, you never really know how yellow will look until the room is complete. So if you want to decorate with yellow you just have to go for it. Just try to follow a few rules.
2. Decorating with Orange
There's no better way to add a vibrant burst of energy to your interior space than with orange, but decorating with orange isn't always easy. Check out these tips and suggestions for decorating with this bold and sunny color.
3. Decorating with Turquoise
Few colors are as playful as turquoise. Depending on how you use it, turquoise decor can be bold, whimsical, dreamy, or lively. It can be used in traditional and classic rooms or contemporary, modern spaces. The key when decorating with turquoise is to use it in a way that works for your space and your personality.
4. Decorating with White
Light, clean and airy, white can open up even the smallest of spaces.

From blush to raspberry to coral to fuchsia, no matter what mood you want to create, there's a way to do it with pink.
6. Decorating with Green
There are few colors as fresh and rejuvenating as green. Green is the color of rebirth, renewal, and growth. It's soothing, energetic and peaceful. For all these reasons and more, decorating with green remains popular with designers, decorators and homeowners.
7. Decorating with Red
Due to it's dramatic glamour and bold energy, decorating with red takes a certain amount of courage and confidence. But when done correctly, rooms decorated with red can be warm, inviting, and sophisticated.
