Paint Sheens

It might seem like a small detail but the sheen you choose can have a big effect on the feeling and style of a room. We are sharing the differences to help you understand where and when to use them.

01 MATTE/FLAT

• shine free

• good at hiding blemishes and disguising walls that aren’t smooth

• lets more of the color come through

• marks up easily - recommended for ceilings
