The most important aspects of paints sheen are their lustre and ease of cleaning. There are various types of sheen paints that provide perfect finish to interior room colours:

• High gloss finish – if you want sparkling brilliance, then opt for high-gloss paint sheen. It can be used for ceilings, but you need to ensure that the ceiling has no imperfections. This particular sheen emulates the look of enamel or plastic, which looks particularly gorgeous and bright on railings, shutters, trim, and moulding. Before applying high-gloss sheen, proper sanding needs to be done.
• Semi-gloss finish – if you want highly stain-resistant paint sheen for windows, doors and trims (easy to wipe clean), then go for semi-gloss paint sheen. This paint type is ideal for interior décor of kids’ room or for kitchens and washrooms. It is highly resistant to moisture.
• Satin finish – this particular sheen looks simply elegant, applied both indoors and outdoors. Luxury interior emulsion are easy to clean and hence ideal for rooms with heavy traffic like playrooms, laundry room, kitchen, guest bathroom, and dining room.
• Eggshell finish – this particular sheen type is ideal for creating a low-shine look. Eggshell is ideal for family rooms, dining rooms, living rooms and hallways.
• Flat or matte finish – flat sheen gives a non-reflective finish. Matte is ideal for creating a low lustre look. Both these sheens are least resistant to stains and are able to hide imperfections (being non-reflective). The best places to opt for the flat/matte look are living rooms, bedrooms and even the ceilings where messy staining hardly occurs.
