Good acrylic paint for walls – coverage and washability?
Looking for interior wall paint that’s easy to apply, covers old colours well (including some dark patches), and wipes clean without shining up. Mid-price range, low VOC, and decent durability for family rooms. Matt or soft sheen? Any lines you keep going back to?

Acrylic emulsions are the way to go for walls now – good flow, low smell, and most are scrubbable these days. For coverage over tricky colours I like ones with higher opacity; saves coats. Soft sheen works well in living areas – hides marks but still wipeable.

Tikkurila Harmony or Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt gave solid results for me – two coats usually enough and they clean nicely. Matt for ceilings though.
