Which finish?

For a solid, flat, and elegant finish that is easy to touch up, matte paint is ideal for creating a gentle, soothing atmosphere. Its lack of sheen also helps to conceal any minor imperfections, making it a good choice for older walls with "character."

Eggshell has slightly more lustre than a matte finish, with a soft, low-sheen rather than a glossy one. This attractive finish is more resistant to stains and is easier to maintain than matte paint, making it a versatile option for many areas of the home.

Creating an attractive and durable high-sheen finish, Silk paint is ideal if you want to make a room look bigger by reflecting light. While it is the easiest to clean—simply wipe with a damp cloth—its light-reflecting properties do make it more difficult to touch up, as any difference in sheen will be apparent. It can also make imperfections in your walls more noticeable, so it is worth investing a little extra time on surface preparation to ensure your walls are as smooth as possible.

Gloss has the highest level of sheen, creating a reflective and smooth finish. It's one of the most durable and easiest finishes to clean, making it a popular choice for high-use areas that needs added protection. Its high shine is also excellent for highlighting architectural details.
