Homes with pets face unique painting challenges — claw marks, fur, occasional accidents, and frequent cleaning. In 2026, choosing the right paint helps keep walls looking good while making maintenance easier for pet owners.
Key Features to Look For
- High Washability Satin or semi-gloss finishes clean easily without damaging the paint.
- Scuff and Scratch Resistance Durable formulas that withstand pet activity.
- Low-VOC Options Better for pets and family health.
- Mid-Tone Colours Hide fur, paw marks, and minor dirt better than pure white.
Recommended Approach
- Use Prestige Durable Satin on lower walls and high-contact areas
- Choose soft greiges or warm neutrals that disguise pet fur
- Prioritise easy-clean finishes in living areas and hallways
