Paint system & sheen
Living RoomShown on a bare wall rather than a styled feature wall, so the sheen is what you compare.
- Best for
- Walls where a flat, non-reflective surface hides minor unevenness.
- Watch out
- The least scrubbable — marks in a circulation zone will show and touch-up flashes.
- Cost effect
- The reference point.
- Scope effect
- Best kept away from wet areas and high-touch surfaces.

- Specialist trade
- Best for
- A soft, breathable finish with visible depth and movement.
- Watch out
- It is a texture, not just a colour — application skill decides the result, and touch-up is difficult.
- Cost effect
- Higher, and the cost is in application.
- Scope effect
- Requires a competent applicator and a sample panel signed off before the room is done.
- Responsible
- Specialist trade
- Best for
- A durable, wipeable general-purpose finish for busy rooms.
- Watch out
- The sheen shows wall unevenness that a matte finish would hide.
- Cost effect
- Moderate.
- Scope effect
- Substrate preparation matters more than with a matte finish.
- Responsible
- Specialist trade
- Best for
- Trim, doors and anywhere that takes hands and cleaning.
- Watch out
- Unforgiving of surface defects and brush marks; the higher the sheen, the more it shows.
- Cost effect
- Higher.
- Scope effect
- Preparation standard must be agreed — this finish exposes it.

- Specialist trade
- Best for
- The pragmatic middle for family rooms — cleanable without a shine.
- Watch out
- Not fully scrubbable despite the name; check the manufacturer's actual claim.
- Cost effect
- Moderate.
- Scope effect
- Confirm the cleaning expectation with the client so the finish is not blamed later.
