The best sheen is the one that fits the room, the surface and the way your family actually lives.
Flat and matte
These finishes soften light and help disguise minor wall imperfections. They work beautifully in low-traffic bedrooms, ceilings and formal spaces, but they are generally less washable.
Eggshell
Eggshell offers a subtle glow and is a common choice for living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms. It balances a refined appearance with practical cleanability.
Satin
Satin is more durable and washable, making it a strong choice for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and children’s spaces.
Semi-gloss
Semi-gloss is typically reserved for trim, doors, cabinetry and other surfaces that need greater durability and easy cleaning.
