Choosing the correct paint sheen is just as important as choosing the colour. In 2026, many Nigerian homeowners still pick the wrong finish for their rooms, leading to walls that are hard to clean or look uneven. Here’s a simple guide to selecting the right sheen for every space.
Recommended Sheens by Room Type
- Bedrooms & Living Rooms Eggshell or soft satin – elegant look with better cleanability than matte.
- Kitchens, Bathrooms & Hallways Satin or semi-gloss – highly washable and moisture-resistant.
- Ceilings Flat or matte – reduces glare and hides imperfections.
- Doors, Trims & High-Contact Areas Semi-gloss or gloss – maximum durability and easy cleaning.
Quick Decision Tip The higher the traffic and moisture, the higher the sheen you should choose.
