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
