How to Choose a Paint Finish for Each Room

Sheen affects appearance, washability and how strongly surface imperfections show. There is no single finish that is best for every room.

Low-sheen finishes

Flatter finishes can reduce glare and make minor wall texture less noticeable, which is why they are often considered for ceilings and lower-contact spaces.

Mid-sheen finishes

Eggshell and satin-type finishes are often chosen when a balance between appearance and cleanability is desired.

Higher-sheen finishes

Glossier coatings can be useful on trim, doors or other surfaces that see frequent contact, but they tend to highlight surface defects more strongly.
