In 2026 most Nigerian families are choosing between matte and eggshell finishes. The debate is simple: matte hides wall flaws better, eggshell is noticeably easier to clean. Here’s a straight comparison so you can decide which is best for your home.

Matte Finish – the classic Nigerian choice

• Looks velvety & hides plaster imperfections best
• Prestige Timeless Interior Matte – very good wipeability for a matte (wet cloth OK)
• Ideal rooms: master bedroom, living room, hallways
• Downside: harder to clean heavy marks

Eggshell Finish – the 2026 upgrade most people love

• 30–40% easier to wipe clean than matte
• Prestige Timeless Interior Eggshell – current bestseller in Lagos & Abuja
• Ideal rooms: kitchen, kids’ rooms, dining area, high-touch hallways
• Slight price increase (₦3k–₦7k per 20L bucket)

Quick verdict for most homes

• Bedrooms & main living → stay with Prestige matte
• Kitchen, kids’ rooms, corridors → upgrade to Prestige eggshell
• Best of both: matte on walls + eggshell on doors & trim
