Gloss, semi-gloss, satin, matte and flat are the most popular choices in paint finishes. The right choice can come down to the area of your home that you’re painting. Here are some basic sheen descriptions along with our recommendations on matching a sheen to a particular room in your home.

Matte and Flat Finish Matte and flat finish paints soak up light rather than reflecting it, so they are your best choices for hiding surface imperfections in your walls.

 

Home Interior paints come in a specially-engineered matte finish that easily washes clean, similar to gloss and semi-gloss paint. Recommended for: Adult bedrooms and other areas that won’t get roughed up by kids. Also good for uneven or textured walls.

 Gloss Finish The most light-reflective of any paint sheen, gloss paint has an extremely hard and shiny finish. Its rich, smooth luster makes it easily washable, often just wiping clean.

Use this type of finish if you want to highlight a particular element of your room. Recommended for: Wood trim, cabinets and doors. Semi-Gloss Finish A moderately reflective sheen, semi-gloss paint is also very durable and great for areas that need to be cleaned frequently.

 

Recommended for: Kitchens, bathrooms, closet doors, trim and utility areas. Satin Finish A satin finish paint has just a slight shine so it offers clean-ability while at the same time hiding minor imperfections in your wall’s surface. Ideal for high-traffic areas most likely to attract nicks, scuff marks and stains. Recommended for: Kids’ bedrooms, kitchens, family rooms, foyers and hallways.

 Protect your property from dust, sun, rain and snow. 
It is important to touch up the paint from the outside at least once every three years , not only to improve the appearance of your home, but to not let the wood or walls damaged. Thus , when you go to paint also will revise the possible openings , damage and moisture that can damage inside the house.

Theory Of Color, 

 

 

 

Hue identifies the general family of a color, such as red, yellow, blue or green. The traditional color wheel is made up of twelve color families: red, red-orange, orange, yellow-orange, yellow, yellow-green, green, blue-green, blue-red-violet, violet and blue-violet.

Color Wheel

Colors on the opposite side of the wheel from each other are called complementary colors. In combination, these create striking contrasts. For less contrast, choose colors next to each other on the color wheel, which are called analogous colors. Choosing colors of different tints within one color family creates a monochromatic color scheme.

Warm or Cool?

Different colors in the same family may be described as being "warm" or "cool." Colors with yellow undertones will seem warmer, while the same color with blue or red undertones will appear cool. Cool colors – blue, green, violet – invite relaxation and thought. Warm colors – red, orange, yellow – encourage conversation and play.  We  suggest using both warm and cool colors in rooms where you desire balance and variety.

Value

Value describes how light or dark a specific color may be. On Sherwin-Williams color strips, lighter values are at the top, mid-tone values are in the middle and darker values are at the bottom. When you combine colors from a single color strip, you're creating a monochromatic color scheme – perfect for creating a sophisticated, spacious look in a single room.
