Blog All About Sheen: How Junior's Painting LLC Chooses the Perfect Gloss for Every Surface Sep 30, 2024

When it comes to painting, it's not just about choosing the right color. The finish or sheen of the paint can make a huge difference in the final look of your walls, ceilings, or trim. At Junior's Painting LLC, we understand the importance of selecting the perfect gloss for every surface to achieve the desired results. In this blog post, we will walk you through the different sheen options available and how we choose the ideal one for each project.

Flat or Matte: Flat paint has no shine at all, making it perfect for hiding imperfections on walls or ceilings. It provides a smooth and velvety finish that is ideal for low-traffic areas like bedrooms, living rooms, or dining rooms. Junior's Painting LLC often recommends flat or matte paint for older homes with textured walls or ceilings.

Eggshell: With a slight gloss that resembles the texture of an eggshell, this finish is easy to clean and adds a subtle warmth to any room. Eggshell paint is a popular choice for hallways, family rooms, or kids' bedrooms where a little more durability is needed. It strikes a good balance between flat and semi-gloss finishes.

Satin: Satin paint has a soft sheen that reflects light well, making it perfect for high-traffic areas like kitchens, bathrooms, or entryways. It is easy to wipe clean and offers a luxurious look without being too shiny. Junior's Painting LLC often recommends satin paint for trim, doors, or cabinets to add a touch of elegance to any space.

Semi-Gloss: Semi-gloss paint has a noticeable shine that is both durable and easy to clean, making it a great choice for trim, doors, or moldings in any room. It can also be used on walls in areas that need frequent cleaning, like bathrooms or kitchens. Junior's Painting LLC often recommends semi-gloss paint for woodwork or cabinets to make them stand out and add a touch of sophistication.

Glossy: Glossy paint has a high sheen that reflects light and creates a dramatic effect. It is extremely durable and easy to clean, making it ideal for areas that receive a lot of wear and tear, like doors, railings, or furniture. Junior's Painting LLC often recommends glossy paint for accent walls or special features to make them pop and enhance the overall design of a room.
