Color families that brighten a space
Sheen tips (so it looks good and holds up)
- Flat/matte: Great for hiding wall imperfections; best for lower-traffic areas.
- Eggshell/satin: A go-to for most homes; more washable and still looks soft.
- Semi-gloss: Ideal for trim and doors when you want a crisp, wipeable finish.
A simple way to choose the right shade
- Test samples in morning and evening light
- Check how the color looks next to floors, counters, and cabinets
- Consider adjacent rooms so the flow feels intentional
