Guide

Need help choosing a paint finish?

Also known as sheen, paint finish meets two needs: functional and aesthetic. A less-glossy sheen like ulti-matte or matte hides surface imperfections better, while a glossier sheen is easier to clean and stands up better to scuff marks. Using different sheens on different surfaces in the same room creates a dynamic space.
