Walls in children’s bedrooms and other areas at home where children tend to hang out require paint with some shine like eggshell and satin finish which makes cleaning up easy. Children may write on walls or touch the walls while playing, leaving stains, scuff marks and other surface dirt that can be removed using a mild soap and water solution. Aside from cleanability, you’ll also want to consider odorless paint which is not only non toxic but also gentle to sensitive noses. Fast drying time is also important to reduce the inconvenience that a DIY paint job can bring for which you will need latex or water-based paint that dries quickly, is easy to clean and resistant to mildew.
