Homeowners need to know that their house’s colour is important and says a lot about their home at a glance. They should also know that the colour of the outside of the car is just as important as the colour of the inside. This question comes up a lot,

“Can I use paint from the inside on the outside?”

The short answer is “yes,” but you should be aware of the paint’s possible flaws because of how it is made. For example, will it hold up to the weather? Outside you may choose brighter or neutral hues than inside. Also, keep in mind that the exterior colour scheme of your home should take into account the following:

  • Interior paint is designed to resist abrasion. Interior painting is more sensitive than exterior painting since it shares your space.
  • Interior paints are designed to be scrubbable and stain-resistant. The formulation of interior paint makes it more resistant to physical harm.
  • Interior paint isn’t affected by weather and temperature, but its resins may be stiffer.
  • Interior paint doesn’t need to be resistant to fading because it doesn’t get hot, so it doesn’t fade.
  • Interior paint must be stain-resistant in order to conceal brush and roller markings.
  • Interior paint should cure even without direct sunlight exposure.
  • Interior paint does not need chemicals like insecticides and fungicides.

The inner paint is washable to erase smudges and marks from young people and pets.

Interior paint should have a low or no VOC level (volatile organic compounds). This is essential for maintaining the air quality in your house. Low or nonexistent VOCs lessen health hazards.

Interior and exterior paints are different in quality, function, and application. They can’t be used in place of each other. That is, you cannot put interior paint on outdoor surfaces or vice versa. When purchasing paint for your house, there is a need to inspect the tin.

Interior Walls & Ceilings

Painting the ceiling and walls the same colour for certain spaces works perfectly well but isn’t always ideal. For the most desirable look, we’ve found that using either dark or light colours of the paint spectrum look the best. Sometimes those medium paint tones don’t create the eye-catching results hoped for.

Baseboard & Trim

Baseboard trim is usually much less ornate than crown molding, though in modern houses both can be starkly simple.

Baseboards are primarily used for aesthetic purposes. They hide the space between the walls and the floor. They also serve a practical function, keeping plaster walls protected against bumps from shoes, furniture, or vacuums. When picking the baseboard, make sure it ties in with the other trim used in the space.

Drywall & Flooring

In standard home construction, the contractor installs the subfloor before installing the drywall. In fact, the subfloor is one of the first features of construction, whereas drywall installation takes place toward the end of the project. The subfloor does double duty as a secure walking surface and the structural base to which the stud walls attach.
