Recently, I visited a three-story, seven figure home to do a staging consultation. When I entered this beautiful home, I was astonished to encounter interior walls which were finished with an overly-sheeny paint choice. Every little flaw of the drywall jumped out at me as the sunlight streamed through the many windows. The overall look was distracting.
There is often a debate as to which finish to choose when selecting interior wall paint. While the practicality of the easily-wiped satin may be a popular choice, I would suggest that the additional variables be considered:
• How much light does the room receive?
• What condition are the walls?
• Will there be high traffic?
• Is the sheen of the paint finish being used to the room's best advantage?
If your walls are screaming to be scrubbed at the mere hint of a fingerprint, consider toning down your wall finish so that it reflects an ambiance of serenity and calmness.
Always think about the above questions before giving your ‘finish' answer to the paint supplier before mixing your wall color. Doing so will help you create the beautiful look you desire!
