Paint finish, or sheen, is how much light the dried paint reflects. Lower sheens hide imperfections, and higher sheens are easier to clean. Picking the right one for each room makes a big difference in how the job looks and lasts.
Flat and matte finishes are great for ceilings and low-traffic rooms like formal living and dining rooms. They hide small flaws in the wall but can scuff more easily.
Eggshell and satin are the most popular choices for living areas, bedrooms, and hallways. They have a soft glow and wipe clean better than flat paint. In humid Lowcountry homes, satin is a smart pick for kitchens and bathrooms.
Semi-gloss is best for trim, doors, and cabinets. It's durable, easy to clean, and gives crisp contrast against the walls.
