When it comes to painting your home, not all paints are created equal. The sheen, brand, and quality level you choose can dramatically impact not only how your walls look but also how long your paint job lasts.

Sheen Matters

Paint sheen isn’t just about appearance - it affects durability, cleanability, and how imperfections show. Common sheens include:

  • Matte / Flat: Soft, non-reflective finish. Great for hiding wall imperfections, but harder to clean.

  • Low-Sheen Eggshell: Offers a subtle sheen with slightly better washability, perfect for living spaces and bedrooms.

  • Satin: Slightly glossier, easy to clean, ideal for high-traffic areas like hallways or kitchens.

  • Semi-Gloss & Gloss: Highly reflective, extremely durable, best for trim, doors, and areas that need frequent cleaning.


Choosing the right sheen is about balancing aesthetics, functionality, and maintenance. We help guide you through this choice - or, if you prefer, take the lead in selecting the best finish for each space.


Brand and Quality: Why It Makes a Difference

“Premium” paint isn’t just marketing jargon. Higher-quality paints deliver tangible benefits:

  • Superior Coverage: Fewer coats are needed, saving time and money.

  • Long-Lasting Color: They resist fading, staining, and wear over time.

  • Smooth Application: Brush and roller marks are minimized for a flawless finish.

  • Better Binders and Pigments: The paint adheres stronger, ensuring longevity.

  • Enhanced Durability: Withstands bumps, nicks, and dings better than lower-quality options.
