We recommend flat finish for ceilings. For walls, matte or eggshell are both great choices. Matte offers a subtle sheen, while eggshell has a slightly higher sheen and works well in areas that see more wear, like kids’ rooms, entryways, and kitchens. For doors and trim, we typically use satin or semi-gloss. Both are very durable, and the choice mainly comes down to your aesthetic preference — semi-gloss has more shine.

In general, the higher sheens are more durable, so they are more appropriate for high-traffic areas. However, keep in mind that higher sheens tend to highlight surface imperfections more than lower sheens like matte or flat.
