Paints
Matt, satin or gloss? Choosing the right paint finish
Sheen affects washability, how walls hide flaws, and how colours read in daylight.

Matt finishes hide surface imperfections and feel calm, but traditionally mark more easily. Modern premium emulsions have closed that gap.
Where to use what
Satin works well in living rooms and kids' rooms where washability matters. Gloss and enamel suit doors, grills and trims. Keep ceilings matt.
