The best washable paint in Nigeria must survive fingerprints, cooking splatter, kids’ hands and still look good after wiping. In 2026 the choice is no longer just “matte or gloss” — finish level, VOC content and real cleanability matter a lot more.

Matte – most forgiving look

• Hides wall imperfections best
• Prestige Timeless Interior Matte – very washable for a matte (wet wipe OK, no heavy scrubbing)
• Best rooms: bedrooms, living rooms, hallways

Eggshell / Satin – the new Nigerian favourite

• Noticeably easier to clean than matte
• Prestige Timeless Interior Eggshell – current bestseller for kitchens & kids’ rooms
• Small price increase, big cleanability upgrade

Semi-gloss – maximum wipe-ability

• Best for bathrooms, kitchens, high-touch areas
• Prestige Timeless Interior Semi-Gloss – excellent stain resistance
• Shows imperfections more → needs very good prep

Quick summary recommendation

Most Lagos/Abuja families now choose eggshell for living areas + semi-gloss in wet zones. Prestige eggshell is currently the best washable paint in Nigeria for the price/performance balance.
