Interior painting — an essential part of home renovation, and one that often leaves family members in contention with one another. With such a massive color spectrum and varying tastes, homeowners and family members may often have a hard time deciding what colors to choose for their home.

And here at GQ Renovations, we completely understand the struggle.

Specific colors can elicit specific moods and emotions. Choosing one color over another is a massive decision to make, especially since you’ll be entwined with that color for a long time.

Luckily, the struggle doesn’t have to be such a challenge. Understanding the importance of interior painting and why many choose the colors they do can better inform your decision before finalizing that color for your living room and beyond. With that, let’s take a look at the importance of interior painting.

The Importance of Interior Painting

There are a number of reasons why interior painting is essential for your home. 

For one, a fresh coat of paint can boost the value of your home. This is particularly useful for those who may be looking to sell their home, but want to get the biggest bang for their buck. Sinking in a bit of capital to tidy up the home and make it aesthetically appealing can provide wonders for the home’s visual appeal and cost once it hits the market.

Furthermore, it can actually improve the health of your family members. How so, you ask? 

In recent years, paint makers have eliminated the use of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). The EPA notes that VOCs can cause a number of health issues, including:

• Eye, nose, and throat irritation

• Headache  
• Allergic skin reaction 
• Nausea
• Fatigue
• Dizziness

There’s also a mental benefit to it as well. Having the right color (usually a calm, cool tone) in your home can provide a soothing effect on your mood and emotions.

Choosing Quality over Quantity

When it comes to interior painting, it’s important to choose quality over quantity. There are also a number of factors to consider. Your best course of action is to choose a vinyl-acrylic latex paint for indoors. You also have a number of finish options, which include: satin, pearl, flat, semi-gloss, gloss, and eggshell.

When it comes to latex paints, you’ll get…

• Strong adhesion
• Good color retention
• Performs well on interior walls
