Buying indoor paint: FAQ
Looking to freshen up your interior with a lick of paint? Then you must have some questions. We will gladly help you on your way!
Which is the best paint for indoors?
You choose the best indoor paint based on the surface and the properties you are looking for. Pay particular attention to durability, washability and abrasion resistance - properties that determine how long your paintwork will last. For woodwork such as window frames and doors, we recommend scratch and abrasion-resistant paints. For walls, scrub resistance and coverage are often decisive.
What is the best paint for interior wood?
For woodwork such as doors, window frames and furniture, we recommend a strong, skin grease-resistant paint that can withstand daily use.
Best indoor wall paint
The best indoor wall paint combines a beautiful look with practical benefits. Looking for a paint that covers well, prevents streaks and is easy to clean? Then choose a scrub-resistant paint that is ideal for rooms like the living room, kitchen and hallway. For ceilings, it is best to choose a paint with a longer open time to avoid track formation.
Want walls with an extra matt look? Then professional paints offer a nice even result without gloss spots. Popular choices include Sigma Perfect Matt, Sikkens Alphacryl Morpha and Trimetal Magnacryl Prestige Mat. For avid do-it-yourselfers who love colour, Levis Ambiance Mur Extra Mat is a fine choice for sleek results without the hassle.
Best water-based paint for indoors
Water-based wall paint is low-odour and allows you to paint without annoying paint smells. Moreover, this paint dries quickly and you can easily clean brushes and rollers with water.
Water-based paints for woodwork offer the advantage that they do not yellow and dry quickly, allowing you to apply several coats in the same day. Perfect for interior doors, window frames and furniture.
How do I choose my indoor paint?

Can I use interior paint outdoors?
A lot of indoor paints are only suitable for indoor use. They are often made for indoor challenges, such as touching or friction, but are not designed for weathering, for example. Outdoor paint, on the other hand, is. Or you can opt for an indoor and outdoor paint, in which case you can do both!
