Learn the difference between matt, gloss and low sheen.
This water-based emulsion is perfect for use on indoor walls. It’s available in different levels of toughness, including a super-durable finish that’s ideal in high traffic areas like hallways or kids’ bedrooms. It also does a great job at disguising surface imperfections, such as in older homes or on walls where you’ve recently taken down wallpaper. You can touch up matt walls easily, and some varieties have the added benefit of being washable so you can wipe the walls down too.
This is what you’ll need if you’re after a really matt finish. It’s flatter – almost chalky – than standard matt. Although traditionally used in period properties, it’s ideal if you want to create a super-modern look in your home.
With the best washability of all wall paints, low sheen paint can be wiped easily, making it ideal for busy areas that require frequent cleaning. You can also use it to subtly highlight traditional features like coving and cornices.
Satinwood is a great option when you want a sheen finish for interior wood.
Gloss has a mid-to-high sheen and is a popular choice for wood and metalwork. Need to save time on painting? Consider a one-coat or non-drip option.
This super-shiny paint gives a mirror-like finish that looks great on all kinds of wood and can be used indoors and out, where it will highlight any design features. Choose water-based gloss paints for indoor projects and use oil-based for outdoors. Gloss finishes are generally easiest to keep clean because they don’t hold dirt so much and can be cleaned easily.
