Dark Blue-Green
Designer Cecilia Casagrande chose rich jewel tones for this Boston Colonial living room.
It's classic yet fresh. The paint color—Farrow & Ball Hague Blue—in particular, straddles that duality of modern and traditional styles, perfect for a historic home. Casagrande also mixed contemporary elements with more traditional ones to further play with that juxtaposition between old and new.

Dusty Rose
Atelier ND and homeowner Carice Van Houten used a variety of plant species to liven up the room and create visual intrigue with different heights and shapes. It really freshens up the bold pastels and rich earthy tones for a unique composition. Pro tip: Don't forget to paint the ceiling for a more immersive impression.

Buttercream
Instead of painting the walls blue, designer Anna Spiro covered the hardwood floors in a cheerful blue color. She also made the windows extra sunny by painting the frames buttercream yellow.

Pitch Black
Dark black walls and lots of warm gold and caramel tones make this living room designed by Ariene Bethea super cozy but also formal and regal—the ideal balance if your living room doubles as the family room.

Peach
The open floor plan in this Chicago family apartment designed by Bruce Fox called for cohesion between the dining and living room areas. That soft peachy paint and deep pink sofa are reflected in the printed armchair at the head of the dining table, and also mimic the rosy glow of the pendant light. The color scheme was inspired by a photograph taken of the family in London during spring when the city was veiled in cherry blossoms.

Clay
Dark gray walls can be a bit brooding, like storm clouds, but in the case of this sunny Manhattan apartment by Elizabeth Cooper, they look playful and contemporary. Cheerful pinks, a dash of cobalt blue, traditional granny-chic patterns, and whimsical artwork lighten the mood.

Off-White
While bright colors can help liven up a room, it's not the only route.
Take this neutral-toned living room by Kristin Fine: Soft and texture-rich upholstery mix with off-white paint, rustic wood pieces, and plenty of antique accents to make a surprisingly modern impression with lots of character.
Robert McKinley

Olive
Robert McKinley wanted to keep the color scheme in this country retreat earthy and neutral but also wanted to inject it with a little warmth. He opted for a quietly sophisticated shade of olive green for the walls while the chose a cream color for the wood-paneled ceiling.

Steel Gray
This New York City living room designed by Nanette Brown is a lesson in dark paint decorating that strikes the balance between formal and casual, sophisticated and easy-going, elevated and cozy. The exact color pictured is Amethyst Shadow from Benjamin Moore.

Light Lime Green
Take your cues from the bold pattern mixing and modern artwork on display in this living room designed by Les Ensembliers.
A light green color on the ceiling is an unexpected surprise that ties the whole room together. Here, it pairs beautifully with the yellow curtains, geometric green ottoman, and plenty of gray tones throughout.

Lemon Yellow
Does the thought of painting your living room yellow scare you to your very core? How about now that you've seen this timeless and cheerful living room designed by Michael Maher? One glance at this space, and we're about ready to repaint our own: It radiates warmth and offsets the cool blue tones.

Light Fawn
This muted fawn color in a living room designed by Heidi Caillier is hard to pin down, and that's exactly why we like it. Not quite brown, not quite beige, it's a nice offbeat eath-tone option that functions as a neutral.
Simon Watson

Glossy Black-Green
Deep, dark, and glossy, the lacquered black-blue-green color makes this living room by Kristin Hein and Philip Cozzi seductive and mysterious.
Paired with bohemian furniture and accents, the more moody qualities become more approachable and cozy.
Maura McEvoy

Kelly Green Splash
"I love the juxtaposition between the traditional space and the modern staircase," says Eliza Crater of Sister Parish Design. The rich kelly green accent wall and decorative floral curtains help bring some fullness and warmth to otherwise all-white surfaces in her home.
Bjorn Wallander

Charcoal
The traditional, neutral furniture in this room designed by Balsamo Antiques and Interior Design make a minimal visual impact so the moody colors, artwork, light fixtures, and other decorative accents can stand out. A deep, almost purple-gray tone turns out to be a wonderfully complex and evocative backdrop, so don't be afraid to try something different.
Douglas Friedman

Navy
Ann Pyne worked with decorative painter Arthur Fowler to create a contrasting geometric pattern on the walls.
"I think of the puzzle-like shapes as a metaphor—it's a game of fitting all these disparate 'treasures' into a graphically coherent whole," she says. Matte navy blue and a gritty mustard tone work together to set a pensive and seductive backdrop—perfect for a smaller living room.
Heather Hilliard

Crisp White
A crisp, matte white is totally timeless. Sherwin-Williams Pure White is there for you when you're not interested in going for a trending paint color.
Francesco Lagnese

Mint Green
Channel a lush tropical oasis, as Thomas Jayne and William Cullum did, with this fresh color. In a living room where the paint stretches all the way up to the rafters, the hue changes depending on the way the light hits it, shifting between sharp mint and soft sea foam green.
Paul Raeside

Khaki
Designer Garrow Kedigian defines a neutral as "anything that isn't jarring," which is a super helpful way to reframe things if cream, white, or gray simply isn't cutting it in your living room and you can't figure out why.
Certain spaces just call for something outside the box, whether it's because of an architectural style, light exposures, or existing furniture. Here, the walls are painted Benjamin Moore's Rattan.

Nothing is more transformative than swathing your rooms in a new hue, so if you’re in the mood to start a project, you’ll need the best interior wall paint on the market. To lead you in the right direction, we tapped interior designer Becky Shea for her expert opinion. "One of my favorite paint brands is Benjamin Moore, they offer such a range in color and what you can do with the color is also out of this world," she tells House Beautiful.
Here’s the thing about paint, there’s a lot of it. And color aside, you need to consider other factors when choosing your shade—namely, finish. The ones to know are flat, matte, eggshell, satin, and semi-gloss. Don't stress, the finishes aren’t room-specific, so feel free to glaze your walls in any paint that suits your fancy.
The same goes for color in that there are no rules. That said, one thing to keep in mind is that darker shades tend to make a space look smaller, so you may want to avoid painting your powder room navy blue. Or you can always experiment with different tones. "I've played around and made colors darker and lighter by diluting or enhancing the pigmentation," Shea adds.

There is no best finish when it comes to paint.
That said, glossy paint is a bit more durable than matte, so if you think your walls may get a bit weathered, go the gloss route.
When it comes to choosing the best paint brand, the most important factor to consider is whether or not the paint contains any toxic chemicals. Companies like Benjamin Moore, Farrow & Ball, and Lick all create colors that are completely toxin-free, making them the best of the best.
Becky Shea is the principal designer and founder of New York City-based (BS/D) and pays as much attention to details like paint as she does big-ticket elements like furniture. You can trust that this expert knows all there is to know about the best paint for walls.

The best wall paint: review, properties and comparison.
At the final stage of the renovation, we are faced with the task of giving the walls a beautiful look.
Someone chooses wallpaper, some prefer decorative plaster, but most paint the walls. And it's true, it's fast, stylish and good! The question arises: how to choose paint so that it satisfies you both in terms of quality and price? Let's try to figure this out together. We consider only harmless, water-dispersion paints. nine0005
- Paint classes. What do they tell us?
- Gloss level and unique color features, which one is best for walls?
- Best wall paint selection chart
Paint classes, which one is better to paint?
There are always certain factors that you should pay attention to when choosing a paint. These include wet abrasion class, coverage and wear resistance class, gloss level, unique features and of course price. The buyer can always find all quality indicators in the technical sheets for the products. However, we add on our own that the standards of each country may differ from each other and it is best to judge by the generally accepted European DIN classification (Well, or just check with us).
Let's get back to the topic and go through the meaning of these characteristics:
- Wet Abrasion Rating is a measure of a coating's ability to withstand mechanical stress with water. It is determined in laboratory conditions by the degree of wear of the coating as a result of simulating the washing procedure. The highest is class 1, the lowest is class 5. Therefore, if this indicator is important for you (and on the walls this is one of the determining factors), then choose 1 or 2 class.
Where is the best place to use paint with this grade? nine0026 class 1 - for medical institutions and for rooms with cleaning with disinfectants. Class 2 - for walls and ceilings in bathrooms, kitchens and other rooms with high humidity, able to withstand repeated wet cleaning. Class 3 - for walls and ceilings in the interior of residential premises, wet cleaning of the painted surface will also not hurt. Grade 4 - paint for ceilings. Grade 5 - the cheapest paint, which is very similar to classic whitewash and has the appropriate quality.
nine0005
Wear resistance class - a physical property that characterizes the resistance of the paintwork to abrasion, is one of the main parameters that determine the durability of the paint. This indicator is related to the wet abrasion class, but wider. So it will also include temperature loads, adhesion with the previous layer and wear of the material over time.
Spreading power class - more important for work and consumption calculations. This is an indicator that characterizes the ability of the paint to overlap the existing surface. The lower the class, the better. As a rule, paints with good wear resistance also have good hiding power. nine0005
Gloss level and unique paint features, which one is best for walls?
Gloss level is the ability of the paint to shine, reflect light. But gloss is not only glitter. Glossy paints contain more resin than pigment, while matte paints do the opposite. The coating that forms the glossy paint is easy to clean and more durable.
This type of paint is ideal for rooms with high humidity. You can get a semi-gloss or even a semi-matte paint that is suitable for the bath and will please you for a long time. Pure matte paints are not intended for surfaces that need constant washing. Therefore, they are usually more often used for ceilings. A significant advantage of matte paint is its ability to hide defects on any surface. While glossy paint will only emphasize the slightest scratch or unevenness. nine0005
Here it is important to add that resistant matte paints exist, and we will consider many of them below. However, the cost of their production is high, which is why such paints are not cheap for the buyer.
The unique features of are those features that the paint can boast of, which makes it stand out from the rest. For example, universality for walls and ceilings, double coverage, antiseptic properties, high degree of whiteness, anti-allergic properties, etc. If a number of specific properties are important to you, it is better to ask a store specialist +375(29)230-00-80 MTS or +375(44)597-00-80 A1.

How to choose wall paint and what to look for?
The degree of resistance of the coating to aggressive environmental factors depends on the quality of the selected paint.
When selecting paint, they are guided by the following criteria :
- What kind of work is paint intended for? Wall paints are exterior and interior (interior). Compositions of the first type have increased resistance to precipitation and fading in the sun.
- Which room will be painted ? For the bathroom or kitchen, special types of paint are used with increased resistance to abrasion, moisture and high temperatures. Latex and silicone emulsions have such properties. For the bedroom and living room, bright and abrasion-resistant acrylic paints are suitable. Water-based compositions are environmentally friendly, so they are perfect for a children's room. nine0008
- Which invoice to choose ? According to this criterion, all paints are matte, semi-matte, semi-gloss and glossy. Matte does not shine, so it perfectly hides surface defects. Semi-gloss have a barely noticeable shine and have increased resistance to abrasion, so they can be safely washed.
Semi-gloss emulsions can be washed, so they are great for nurseries, kitchens and bathrooms. Glossy paint is the most brilliant and resistant to abrasion, but you need to work with it carefully, because it emphasizes all the surface irregularities. nine0008
Also, when choosing a paint, pay attention to such an indicator as hiding power . It depends on him whether the emulsion can paint over the old coating layer. The higher this indicator, the fewer layers of paint will have to be applied to obtain a perfectly even tone.
Another important factor is the abrasion resistance of . This characteristic is especially important if the walls will be painted in a high traffic area.
TOP 3 best wall paints by price/quality for 2022-2023
