Sheens, primers and colors: how to choose paint that looks right and holds up in each room.
Paint is a system: primer, color coats and sheen. The sheen decides how washable the wall is and how much light it reflects. Flat hides flaws but marks easily. Eggshell and satin balance look and cleanability. Semi-gloss suits trim, doors and baths.
Color looks different at every hour and in every room. We suggest testing large samples on two walls and watching them morning and evening. Lighting, floors and furniture change how color reads, so decisions made in the store often change at home.
