Matte for living areas
Living rooms and bedrooms suit a matte or eggshell finish because it hides wall imperfections and reads soft in low light.
Trim and doors
Trim and doors take a higher sheen than the walls so they read as distinct and stand up to touch. The contrast is part of the look.
Is matte hard to clean?
It is less washable than higher sheens, which is why it suits low-traffic walls rather than kitchens and baths.
What is the most popular wall finish?
Eggshell is a common choice for living areas because it has a soft sheen and cleans better than flat.
