Paint Finish Guide
I just picked a paint color, and now I need to choose a finish too???
Don't worry!
Here's a simple guide to help you choose the right paint finish for your home. Different finishes can affect the look and durability of your paint. Flat finishes are great for hiding imperfections but are less durable. Matte or Eggshell finishes offer a bit of shine and are easy to clean, ideal for walls. Semi-gloss finishes are very durable and perfect for doors and trim. Finally, high-gloss finishes are super shiny and easy to clean, great for cabinets and accents. Use this guide to make your decision easier and get the perfect finish for your space.
MATTE - has a low-sheen finish and absorbs light, great for hiding imperfections
EGGSHELL - offers a little more sheen than matte, easier to clean
SATIN - has a softer, subtle sheen, great for moderate to high traffic areas
SEMI-GLOSS - much higher sheen than satin, great for high traffic areas
FLAT - no sheen
