Best Interior Paint

The best interior paint is a one coat that will roll on without splattering. It should also be long lasting and stain resistant. All of the paint brands present these value points in their most expensive paint lines. If you’re going to paint a room it’s best to get the best paint for the job. It will save you from unnecessary paint messes and will provide the best results.

As far as which paint brand to go with it seems there is a consensus. The top recommended brand is typically Benjamin Moore, followed by Sherwin-Williams and then Behr. Benjamin Moore is usually the commercial choice with Sherwin-Williams and Behr being more of the consumer choice due to accessibility in the large home improvement chain stores such as Home Depot and Lowe’s.

How Much Paint

Calculate one gallon of paint per 400 square feet. This calculation applies to the one coat paint selections. If you choose a cheaper two coat paint you will need double the paint. This is the reason the more expensive one coat paint ends up saving you money.
