The same colour can create four completely different results depending on the paint finish you choose. 🎨
The right finish affects how much light reflects from the surface, how easily it cleans and how well it handles everyday wear.
Here’s a quick guide:
• Matte: Minimal shine and excellent for concealing minor imperfections. Best for ceilings, adult bedrooms and low-traffic rooms.
• Eggshell: A soft lustre with balanced durability. Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms.
• Satin: A smooth, noticeable sheen that resists moisture and scuffs. A practical choice for kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.
• Semi-gloss: A crisp, highly washable finish with maximum durability. Best for doors, trim and cabinets.
The best option depends on the room, traffic, moisture and how often the surface needs cleaning.
