Also known as sheen, the paint finish you choose offers both a functional purpose and design impact. A lower sheen, such as matte or flat, hides imperfection on your surfaces better. Higher sheens are easier to clean and are more scuff resistant. Layering different surfaces in varying sheens will bring a dynamic edge to your space.
