White velvet paint is an increasingly popular choice for interior design. Velvet is the perfect compromise between matte and satin finishes, both of which offer notable differences: you get all the benefits of both finishes without the drawbacks.
Aesthetically, velvet combines the discretion of satin and the delicate shine of satin: it is also a texture quite sought after for its softness and harmonious finish.
Its moderate reflection of light is very popular, especially for creating welcoming and warm spaces.
It is also for its ability to slightly mask wall imperfections that we appreciate velvet so much.
White being the most used color for painting work regardless of the surface, it is therefore quite logical to choose a velvety finish for your painting work.
A finish with aesthetic advantages
Elegance and refinement are the two words that characterize the velvet finish: in fact, the appearance of this finish combines many visual advantages without the disadvantages of other flagship finishes: softness, depth and brightness.
Its silky finish will diffuse and reflect light in a softer way than a satin and more significantly than a matte.
Simple but effective, this finish has all the characteristics of a paint that will enrich the space thanks to its softness and its particular texture which is able to make any space welcoming.
Combined with the neutrality and elegance of white: you get the perfect configuration to have the perception of a larger and more refined space with the additional benefits of brightness offered by the application of white paint on your walls and ceilings.
White paint is applicable to different styles
Whether you want a particular decoration with a modern or minimalist atmosphere as is customary for the use of white or simply for an aesthetic reason, or practical to have more light: white adapts to absolutely all styles of decoration, in all rooms and also to a completely vast palette of colors.
Its versatility is therefore a considerable asset: you can consider it with lacquered furniture or metal finishes for a significant contrast.
For minimalist decor, you can pair it with textures like light wood and soft textiles.
Since velvet is a washable finish, it will be a perfect addition to living rooms where paint may be required: particularly living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms.
Although velvet is not ideal for use in damp rooms, it can be used there according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Finally, you don't necessarily have to use white as a total look in your interior: quite the opposite.
White is by far the easiest color to combine, whatever the space, the room, and especially the color!
You can therefore enjoy yourself with complete peace of mind, even if we recommend not using more than 3 colors in a room so as not to visually saturate the place.
Unique technical characteristics
It is no secret that having the advantages of both matte and satin, the technical characteristics of velvet are recognized to be above average without drawbacks.
Velvet can be applied to all conventional surfaces, whether walls, woodwork or even ceilings, although it is true that matte will be more suitable in this respect.
A perfectly washable finish
First and foremost: the paint's resistance to stains and ease of maintenance. Fingerprints and everyday wear and tear often require extensive paint maintenance.
With the washability offered by the velvety aspect, this problem is partly solved: you will be able to wash your walls and remove any stains that may appear on your walls.
Ability to hide minor imperfections
On walls with imperfections, it is true that a satin finish is not always recommended, as its reflection of light could reveal details and therefore defects in the wall.
The use of velvet therefore makes it a real alternative: velvet reflects less light, so imperfections will be less noticeable or even invisible depending on the condition of the support.
