Take a Second Look at Your Paint Finish
No more shiny walls for bathrooms and kitchens!! In the past, it was routine to recommend an eggshell or satin finish for bathroom and kitchen walls because it would hold up better than a flat finish in these heavily used areas of the home. Flat wall paint has always been great for hiding wall imperfections and roller lap marks on large, difficult to paint areas but the lack of durability has hounded this finish for years. Known to pick up stains and marks more easily than shinier paint finishes, flat paint was much more difficult to clean, often removing the paint or leaving shiny spots where cleaning was attempted.
