Paint Sheen Guide — Matte, Low-Sheen, Satin, Semi-Gloss and Gloss

Sheen is the single most under-appreciated decision in a repaint. The wrong sheen makes a great colour look cheap. Here's how to pick correctly.

The five sheens, plain English

Sheen is just how shiny the paint dries. Higher sheen is more durable and washable but shows wall flaws more harshly. Lower sheen hides flaws beautifully but marks more easily.

Where to use each sheen

This is the room-by-room sheen spec we use as a default on coastal homes.

Ceilings — flat or matte for a true, soft white
Bedrooms and formal living — matte or low-sheen
Hallways, kitchens, family rooms — low-sheen (washable)
Bathrooms and laundries — satin or semi-gloss (moisture)
Doors, skirtings and architraves — semi-gloss or gloss enamel

Coastal homes — sheen matters more

In Tweed Heads and across the Northern Rivers, salt air sits on every surface. Slightly higher sheen wipes clean; flat finishes hold the salt and dull faster. We nudge clients up one sheen step on anything within 5 km of the coast.
