Can’t Decide on Colors?
Levin helps you pick which paint color & sheen that will best fit your interior painting needs. A professional painting color chart on site will ensure the perfect color choice for your interior painting project.
Sheens
Paint “sheens”, or degrees of the paint’s glossiness.
Traditionally, paints with a higher sheen are more durable & easier to clean than those with a lower sheen. However, a higher sheen can show more imperfections on your interior surfaces than a paint with a lower sheen. The range of paint sheens is as follows: flat paint (no sheen), eggshell paint (light sheen), satin paint (medium sheen), semi gloss paint (glossy sheen), gloss paint (high sheen). This can vary with different paint manufactures
FAQ
Walls Reimagined – Expert Answers to Your Painting Questions
How much does an interior painting project cost?
The cost of an interior painting project depends on the size of the area, number of rooms, ceiling height, wall condition, and paint type. On average, it costs between $2 and $6 per square foot. For a full-house interior repaint, homeowners typically spend between $3,000 and $8,000.
How long does interior painting take?
A standard interior painting project takes 2 to 5 days for an average-sized home. Factors such as surface preparation, number of coats, drying time, and whether ceilings and trim are being painted will affect the timeline. Larger or more detailed projects may take up to a week or more.
What type of paint finish should I use for each room?
Different rooms benefit from different paint finishes. Flat or matte is ideal for ceilings and low-traffic areas. Eggshell is great for living rooms and bedrooms. Satin is commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms, and hallways due to its durability and cleanability. Semi-gloss and gloss are best for trim, doors, and cabinets.
Do I need to move my furniture before painting?
Yes, it’s recommended to move furniture away from walls or out of the room before painting. If full removal isn’t possible, items should be moved to the center and covered with plastic sheets. Proper preparation protects furniture and allows painters to work efficiently and safely.
Is primer necessary before interior painting?
Primer is essential for painting over new drywall, stained or repaired surfaces, or when making drastic color changes. It helps the topcoat adhere better and ensures a uniform finish. Some premium paints include built-in primer, but a separate primer layer may still be recommended for best results.
What colors are trending for interior walls?
Popular interior paint colors include soft neutrals like warm beige, greige, and ivory, along with muted earth tones and calming blues and greens. Darker shades like navy, charcoal, and forest green are also trendy for accent walls. Choosing timeless colors can boost aesthetic appeal and resale value.
How can I prepare my walls before painting?
Wall preparation includes cleaning dust and grease, filling holes and cracks, sanding rough patches, and applying painter's tape to edges. Clean, dry, and smooth walls ensure proper paint adhesion and a long-lasting finish. Skipping prep work can lead to visible imperfections and paint failure.
Is it safe to stay in my home during painting?
Yes, especially if low-VOC or zero-VOC paints are used. Proper ventilation is key—open windows and use fans to help dissipate fumes. Some oil-based or high-VOC paints may emit strong odors, in which case temporarily avoiding the painted area is advisable until it fully dries.
How does interior painting increase home value?
A fresh interior paint job boosts home value by improving visual appeal, creating a clean and updated look, and making spaces appear brighter and more spacious. Neutral, modern colors attract buyers and help homes sell faster. It’s one of the most cost-effective upgrades for resale.
