Choosing a paint finish is just as important as choosing a colour. In Sydney homes, we often recommend low-sheen acrylic for living areas it hides minor imperfections and wipes clean without looking too shiny.
For wet areas like bathrooms and laundries, a satin or semi-gloss finish resists moisture and mould better. Ceilings usually look best in flat matt to minimise glare from downlights.
If you are repainting over older gloss paint, proper prep and an undercoat are essential. A professional painter can test adhesion and recommend the right system for your substrate.
