The paint sheen you select for interior painting depends on a number of factors. Paint sheens run a range from high gloss to matte. A safe or neutral choice is often eggshell or satin sheen for interior spaces. Paint sheen can vary from room to room and other spaces within your home. High gloss or similar semi-glossy sheens are generally fine for doors, trim, cabinetry, etc. For high traffic areas that could get touched or get dirty/greasy more easily, eggshell sheens make more sense. Matte is fine for the ceiling, since it’s easier to paint on and won’t be susceptible to dirt & stains up there (except for smokers & kitchen grease, etc.).
