Thinking of giving your walls a fresh new look? Interior emulsion paints are a smart choice, especially in a country like Singapore, where humidity and everyday wear can take a toll on walls. Water-based emulsion paints dry quickly, have a smooth finish, are low-odour and easy to maintain, and don’t yellow or give off strong fumes like oil-based paints. Plus, they’re better for the environment and safer for your home. Hence, if you’re exploring interior paints in Singapore, emulsion paints should be at the top of your list. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the basics and spotlight some of Berger Paints Singapore’s top picks, so you can choose the perfect paint for your home.

 

 

Popular Interior Emulsion Paint Finishes:

 

When choosing interior wall coatings in Singapore, both the finish and the formula are just as important as the colour. Look for options that are Low or Zero VOC and free from formaldehyde to maintain healthy indoor air. The finish you choose impacts not only the appearance of your walls but also how well they resist daily wear and tear. Here are two of the most popular decorative finishes for interior spaces:

 

• Matte Finish

Matte emulsion paints are a favourite among homeowners in Singapore for good reason. Matte finishes are all about that smooth, non-shiny look that instantly makes a room feel effortlessly stylish. They’re great at hiding little flaws on your walls, think tiny cracks or uneven spots, which makes them perfect for bedrooms, living rooms, or any space where you want a clean, relaxed vibe. Also, because they absorb light instead of bouncing it around, they cut down on glare and bring a soft, cosy feel to your home. Plus, these are easy to touch up, so maintaining that flawless look is simple.

 

• Silk / Glossy Finish

If you want to go for something more polished, silk or glossy finishes are a great choice. These are slightly reflective and easier to wipe down, which makes them ideal for high-moisture or high-traffic areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and hallways. The subtle sheen adds a touch of elegance and brightness to the room, giving the walls a smooth, opulent appearance. They may not conceal flaws like matte finishes do, but their tough, easy-to-clean surface makes them a smart pick for high-traffic spaces.

 

 

Key Benefits Of Emulsion Paints For Singapore Homes?

 

• Perfect For Humid Climates:

Singapore’s tropical climate brings high humidity, which can damage traditional paints. Emulsion paints are water-based and breathable, making them ideal for resisting moisture, reducing wall dampness, and preventing mould growth – a major win for long-term wall health.

 

• Low Odour & Eco-Friendly

Unlike traditional oil-based paints, modern emulsion paints are low in VOCs (volatile organic compounds), making them safer for your indoor air quality. They’re a healthy, eco-friendly paint solution for apartments with limited ventilation.

 

• Great Coverage with Fewer Coats

High-quality emulsion paints provide strong coverage, meaning fewer coats are needed for a uniform finish. This not only saves time and effort but also cuts down on paint usage, making it cost-effective in the long run.

 

• Durable, Easy to Clean and Maintain

If you’re looking for high-quality durable wall paints, emulsion is the way to go. These often come with washable or stain-resistant properties, which make cleaning up scuffs, smudges, or food marks easy, especially in high-traffic areas like hallways, living rooms, and kitchens. Also, these hold up against peeling, cracking, and fading, even in sunlit rooms. Hence, your walls will stay fresh for longer with minimal upkeep.

 

Whether it’s your bedroom, bathroom, or kitchen, emulsion paints adapt well to different room conditions. Planning a DIY makeover or hiring professionals for a renovation? We’ve got you covered with high-quality interior emulsion paints and a wide range of options to match every space and style.
