...most likely not high gloss. Homeowners: please PLEASE reserve that for baseboards and molding only!
We've all been in the foreclosures with a shiny turquoise bedroom showcasing every nail hole and crack in the walls. Or the young clients' home that is 'showing off' its candy apple red kitchen highlighting the same blemishes. Yes, many many people are still clinging to red kitchens and burgandy dining rooms from a decade ago or longer- that's another blog...
Some people just don't realize the difference between paint finishes. Let's consider that a part of our job when making a listing as presentable and perfect as possible.
Flats, eggshells, maybe satins should be reserved for the cozy areas like living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms. Warm lighting will look much better on these finishes creating a much less harsh appearance.
Gloss and high gloss should be for smaller more closed quarters and wet areas like bathrooms, laundry/mud rooms, and sometimes kitchens depending on color and lighting. They're easily cleaned by simply wiping; something you can't do with flat.
Just another small tip to keep our listings at the forefront of buyers' minds!
