What Paint Finish Should I Use?

Which Paint Finish Should I Use?

Choosing the right paint finish can make a big difference in how a room looks and how easy it is to clean.

• Flat or Matte — good for ceilings and low-traffic areas
• Eggshell — a popular choice for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways
• Satin — works well in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas that need easier cleaning
• Semi-Gloss — great for trim, doors, cabinets, and high-use areas
