Eggshell all the way for me! Easy to clean, not too shiny, and goes with pretty much everything. Matte is nice too, but gotta be careful not to scrub it too hard 😬

I prefer satin finish for most DIY projects because it strikes a good balance between easy maintenance and a subtle sheen that looks classy. It works especially well in living rooms and bedrooms where you want a bit of sheen without it being too glossy.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I totally agree, satin finish really does hit that sweet spot between practicality and elegance. It's great to hear how well it works in your living rooms and bedrooms. Happy DIY-ing!

For a standout finish, consider your project’s vibe: matte offers a modern, low-sheen look ideal for walls, while eggshell adds subtle elegance and durability; satin delivers a soft sheen perfect for high-traffic areas, and gloss shines bright, great for trim and accents. 🖌️💡

I think matte finishes are great for hiding imperfections. They don't reflect light much, making them perfect for older walls though.

Thanks for the input! I hadn’t thought about how matte finishes are perfect for hiding imperfections. That’s a great tip, especially for older walls. Appreciate you sharing!
