Picking the right paint color is only half the battle. If you want a flawless, long-lasting result, choosing the correct paint finish matters just as much—especially in Cincinnati, where the climate can be a wild card.
Flat finishes hide imperfections well and give off a smooth, velvety look. These are perfect for adult bedrooms or ceilings. But beware—they're harder to clean, so skip them for kid zones or kitchens.
Eggshell finishes offer a subtle sheen and clean up nicely. It’s one of the most popular choices for living rooms and dining rooms in homes around Mason, Loveland, and Maineville.
Satin finishes strike the perfect balance between durability and elegance. They handle moisture better than eggshell, making them ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and hallways.
For areas that take a beating—like trim, doors, and cabinets—semi-gloss and gloss finishes are your go-to. They’re easier to wipe down and reflect more light, brightening up darker spaces.
With Cincinnati’s humid summers and cold winters, opt for finishes that resist mildew in moisture-prone rooms. Satin or semi-gloss is your best friend here.
Conclusion:Every room has its own vibe and function, and the right paint finish can enhance both. If you're unsure, let the pros at Richardson Custom Painting help you decide what works best for your home and lifestyle.
