Choosing the right paint finish can transform your space and make maintenance easier.

Understanding Paint Finishes

Flat Finish

Satin Finish

Semi-Gloss Finish

• Cons: Highlights imperfections
• Best For: Trim, doors, kitchens, bathrooms

Our Recommendations for Condos

Walls: Eggshell or satin are perfect for condo walls — durable yet elegant.

Trim & Doors: Use semi-gloss for easy maintenance and beautiful contrast.

Ceilings: Flat finish works best to hide imperfections and reduce glare.
