Buying tips

When selecting a household paint, consider the room's function: high-traffic areas need durable, washable paints, while bathrooms benefit from mildew-resistant formulas. Coverage, finish (matte, satin, gloss), and VOCs are also key. Budget options can work for low-use spaces, while premium paints offer better longevity and appearance.
