Wall Paint – Complete Guide to Painting Your Space

Types of paint and their applications

Water-based acrylic paints are the most popular choice for interior spaces because they're odorless, quick-drying and easy to maintain. Latex paints offer better washability and are ideal for children's rooms and hallways where walls frequently come into contact with hands. For humid areas like bathrooms and kitchens, always use waterproof or fungistatic formulas that prevent mold growth.

Coverage and number of coats

Quality paints from brands like BEKAMENT, HELIOS and MAXIMA typically achieve excellent coverage after just two coats. Cheaper paints may require three or more coats, which ultimately increases project costs. Always check the declared coverage in m² per liter – professional paints cover 8-12m² per liter per coat.

Matte, silk or gloss – how to choose

Matte finishes hide wall imperfections but are harder to keep clean, making them best for ceilings and bedrooms. Silk and semi-gloss paints allow easier cleaning and work well in living rooms and hallways. Full gloss finishes highlight every imperfection but are the most washable, making them ideal for kitchens.

Surface preparation and primer

Before painting, walls must be clean, dry and smooth – remove any peeling old paint, fill cracks with filler and sand down irregularities. New or more porous walls require a primer coat that reduces absorption and ensures a more even finish. Brands like KNAUF and ER LAC offer complete surface preparation systems.

Choosing paint for specific rooms

For small or dark spaces, choose lighter tones that visually expand the room – whites, creams and pastels reflect light effectively. Darker and more intense colors can be striking on one accent wall but may feel oppressive in smaller rooms. BIOKOLOR and ZVEZDA offer wide palettes of ready-mixed shades, while professional systems can be tinted to virtually any color.

Practical painting tips

Use quality microfiber rollers for smooth surfaces or longer pile for textured walls – cheap rollers leave marks and splatter paint. Always paint from top to bottom in W or M strokes for more even coverage. Complete one surface in a continuous session as breaks can be visible when paint dries, especially with darker tones.
