6 Reasons Clare Paint is the Best Interior Paint

When it comes to painting a room, you either love it or you hate it. Personally, I’d much rather delegate the painting task, but I don’t always get that luxury - problem number one.

As if the actual task of painting wasn’t hard enough, choosing paint colors to actual paint with - problem number two.

What if I told you I found the solution that will make both choosing paint colors and actually painting your room much more enjoyable... you interested?

Perfect because you’re in luck! I found it!

Let me introduce you to my all time favorite place to buy interior paint... 

1. Quality interior paint & supplies

The beauty of Clare paint is that they literally figured out how to make it a one-stop shop. Not only are the color choices described in a way that actually lets you know what to buy, but also they make choosing the finish simple too. Between wall, trim, and ceiling paint, the finish is adjusted based on how you are using it. 

As for quality of paint, it is primo-supremo. I have always leaned towards Benjamin Moore paint because of the ease of applying, but Clare paint is just as silky smooth to apply. The coverage is great and I never feel like I need a second or third coat.

In fact, every room in our home that we've painted with Clare paint, we only ever used one coat. Like I said, quality is spot on and it's super easy to clean the walls once painted because you know... real life. 

They've also consider all the other paint woes. I've never had to use it because their paint is self-priming, but they offer a multi-surface primer if you are tackling a dark wall or something that needs a base coat. They also have the complete package of tools in either an 8-piece, 7-piece, 5-piece, 3-piece, or individual tools. Like I said... one-stop shop.

2. Shipped right to your door

In this age of bring everything right to my door, Clare paint did not miss the mark. There are so many times that I decide on a paint color or that I'm ready to paint and the thing that keeps me prolonging the project is actually getting myself to the paint store. Not with Clare!

It literally takes no time at all to get your shipment either. The most I ever had to wait was 5 days from the time I hit buy to the cans showing up on my front steps. Speedy delivery is worth its weight in gold in my opinion. *Golf clap*

3. Paint colors are already vetted and narrowed down for you.

Alright, raise your hand if you find choosing paint color a breeze? *crickets*

Preach it sister. I actually enjoy the search of finding the perfect color, but there is nothing better than saving myself the stomach butterflies and wondering... is it gonna be as good as I hope? With Clare paint, the answer has been yes every time! I can't even get over it. They make the process so simple with no guessing! Just brilliant.

Did you know there are over 3500 Benjamin Moore colors, over 1500 Sherwin Williams colors, and who knows how many countless in the other brands? So many tiny swatches to wade through and so little time… because you probably have the painter coming next week, amiright?

But wait, that doesn’t even include the fact that you can lighten any of those colors by a certain percentage or the various finishes you need to sort through! Any one else tired just reading that? Phew!

Seriously… Clare paint has thought of it all for you. They have the perfect curated collection of only 56 colors.

The best part?

They have legit descriptions with them to like the perfect off white and soft, timeless greige. Look for the description of what you want and that color will be exactly what you desired for your room.

5. Safe for your home

6. More than just wall colors

I have yet to try their other paints, but they offer the perfect ceiling paint as well as trim paint in all kinds of colors.

The beauty of the ceiling paint options is there is literally only one option which means they already picked the perfect color and finish for you.

Have you ever tried to choose a paint color for your ceiling?

It is such a nightmare trying to decide the best color and finish. Not to mention trying to not mess it up the first time because painting ceilings is no fun unless you're looking for an arm workout.

For the trim paint, they again have already picked the perfect finish for you and give you the chance to make your room unique. I love when I can feel confident that what I'm buying will actually work for what I want to paint. You're gonna love it too! I know it!

Keep in mind, they are only working with interior paint at that moment. I don't know their plans to expand to exterior paint, but don’t worry, I’ve already put in my request for this.

I'm sure you can tell, but I'm a true believer  this perfect way to buy paint is seriously the best ever. Check out some of the colors we chose look like below.

My Clare Painted Rooms

My Clare Room Colors

The Powder Room

The Bonus Room

The bonus room was another one of those neglected rooms for far too long. After participating in the One Room Challenge, we now have a seriously comfortable second living room area with paint colors Irony and Grayish. Check out what it used to look like before this upgrade.

The Nursery

And my most favorite room transformation using Clare paint... the nursery! This room is my favorite room in the house. So serene and inviting. Even though we were having a girl and this room was already pink, the previous color didn't do the room any favors, but Make Waves and Timeless came through clutch! Check out the before.

Colors I Want to Try

I've had my eye on the colors below for a little while now. Hopefully I can find a way to incorporate them in my next room rescue! From left to right, I have Baby Soft, Sublime, Penthouse, Goodnight Moon, and Windy City.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it cost for a gallon of paint?

As of August 2020, it will cost you $54/gallon. But, if you buy two gallons, you get free shipping! Now, if you only need one can, shipping is about $9 (see there website for more up-to-date info). No matter what, the convenience of knowing you're getting the exact color you want and it arriving straight to your front door is worth every penny!

How long does it take to ship to me?

For the peel-and-stick paint swatches, I got my shipment in two days. When I've ordered gallon-sized paint, it took between 4-5 days. It’s crazy fast… shop on a Monday get painting by the weekend. If you need it sooner, they do offer 2-day shipping and next day shipping for a cost if you are in need.

Do they sell quart-size cans to test it before you buy it?

They don’t, but their swatches are amazing and affordable! They are even better than having to paint a square on the wall because they are removable! Definitely worth the small price to try them out. The stickers really give you an accurate view of what the paint will look like in your room. And they keep well if you want to try it later for another room.

Do they have multiple finishes available?

I don’t know about you, but picking a paint finish makes my head hurt… lucky for me (and you), Clare paint picks the perfect finish for you. All you have to do is decide on ceiling, trim, or wall paint. Done and done.
