Choosing the Right Interior Paint Finish

The color gets all the attention, but the finish is what makes paint look good and last. Here’s the cheat sheet.

Flat / matte

Hides wall imperfections best, but it’s the hardest to clean. Great for low-traffic ceilings and adult bedrooms.

The everyday favorite — a soft, low sheen that wipes down reasonably well. Perfect for living rooms, dining rooms, and hallways.

A step shinier and more scrubbable. Ideal for kids’ rooms, bathrooms, and busy spaces that need to take a beating.

Tough and moisture-resistant, with a noticeable shine. Use it on trim, doors, cabinets, and high-splash areas.
