Dinning Room Painting Advice


Dining rooms can range from stately and formal to very relaxed and casual in their décor.

Most often, formal dining areas are in a separate room, while informal dining areas are more commonly out in the open—frequently attached to the living room, family room, or kitchen.

Before decorating the dining area, you should first determine the level of formality you'd like to achieve. This decision will have an enormous impact on the colors you'll choose, and the overall look of the décor.

Be honest with yourself! Most people who have very formal dining rooms use them only occasionally. If you want to use this room on a daily basis, consider decorating it more informally than you would if it were used only on special occasions.

Washable Flat Paint.

Washable Flat Paint.

Through the years I am constantly asked what is the best finish to put on my walls?
The answer is, it all depends on what you the client is looking to achieve.
A majority of my clients all want washable walls. Most have the misconception that and eggshell or semi-gloss is the best choice. Both eggshell and satin have there pro’s, and con’s. These finishes always enhance wall imperfections, things like nail pops and plastered joints. This can be a nightmare especially on large walls and entry halls. To circumvent this problem flat has been used, but flat does not wash! You only make a bigger stain.
Recently paint manufactures have been rushing to develop washable flat paint.
Some brands have done real well, as I can attest from professional use. Please understand
That these paints are not dead flat, they do have a very slight sheen, but they work real well. If you are interested in brand recommendations please contact us, we would be happy to share our experience.
Peace
John
