The best paint for Nigerian living room walls must look elegant, feel welcoming and resist fingerprints while handling dust and humidity. In 2026 the real choice is between matte, eggshell and satin. Here’s what actually works in real Nigerian living rooms.

Matte Finish

• Soft, velvety look that hides wall imperfections best
• Prestige Timeless Interior Matte – most popular for main living room walls
• Best for: large open-plan living rooms, rooms with textured plaster

Eggshell Finish

• Slight sheen = easier to wipe fingerprints & dust
• Prestige Timeless Interior Eggshell – current favourite for most Abuja & Lagos living rooms
• Best for: living rooms with kids, high-touch areas, modern furniture

Satin Finish

• Noticeable sheen = best cleanability & light reflection
• Prestige Timeless Interior Satin – ideal for smaller living rooms or those with lots of natural light
• Best for: living rooms that double as entertainment spaces

Quick recommendation for most Nigerian living rooms

• Large/open-plan → Prestige Matte (hides flaws)
• Family living room with kids → Prestige Eggshell (wipes clean)
• Smaller/modern living room with lots of light → Prestige Satin (adds glow)
