Find the best paint for walls and ceilings 

Not sure which finish to go for? Matt emulsion has a low-sheen finish that can help disguise small imperfections, making it a popular choice for walls and ceilings. Silk paint has a subtle sheen and is generally easier to wipe clean, so it can be useful in rooms that see a bit more everyday activity.

Also make sure to think about the room that you’re painting. For example, for kitchen paint or bathroom paint, look out for options specifically designed for those spaces, while a dedicated ceiling paint can make getting a fresh, even finish overhead much easier.

Find a wall paint colour you'll love

The choice between crisp whites, calming creams, greens, blues, pinks and more means that there’s plenty of colour to play with. Keep things light and simple with a neutral palette, or use a bolder shade to create a feature wall.

If you're struggling to decide, grab a few tester paint pots before committing to a full tin. Paint can look different depending on the natural light in your room, so it's worth seeing your chosen shade on the wall first.

Wall and ceiling paint FAQs

How much paint do I need to cover a wall?

It’s simple with our paint calculator!

Alternatively, start by measuring the height and width of the wall and multiply them together to work out the surface area. Check the coverage information on your chosen paint tin, as this will tell you roughly how many square metres a litre will cover. Remember to allow for the number of coats you need and subtract large windows or doors if appropriate.

Should I use matt or silk paint?

Matt paint has a low-sheen finish and is a popular choice for walls and ceilings, particularly where you want to minimise the appearance of small imperfections. Silk has a more noticeable sheen and can be easier to wipe clean, making it useful in areas that need a little more durability.
