Wall Paint can be of type –

Distemper paint – costs around Rs 20 with application. This is the starting range for wall painting. Few years back this was considered an option for low cost wall painting. There were problems with colour stains coming on clothes when they came in contact. However, a lot of improvements have happened in quality & technology. Present day distemper paints are very advanced. They cost low compared to other paints & they dont cause stains. These problems have been eliminated. You cannot wipe the wall with wet cloth/sponge.
Plastic paint – costs around Rs 35 per square feet.

Royale matt – costs around Rs 40 per square feet
Plastic paint & Royale paints are washable. You can clean walls very easily using wet wiping cloth/sponge.
Royale, Royale Matt & Royale Shine – requires that the wall is even surfaced to the best level. Wall POP should be done very well. Putty work & primer applied properly.
Textured Paint – one wall or part of wall inside a room is applied with textured paint. This requires a mix of colours, it requires different types of brush. This is costlier than usual wall paint application. Every company has a catalog of various surfaces you can achieve for textured paint. Purpose is to highlight one wall in a room. Say you want to highlight the wall behind your sofa.
Glossy – Semi Glossy – Matt
Depending upon how much natural light you get inside the house, you can decide which type of paint to use. If there is less light, semi glossy will be a good choice to brighten the room. If there is a lot of natural light coming inside the room, the matt surface will be better.
Ceiling Paint Colour
Ceilings are usually done white in semi-glossy, this to increase brightness inside room.
