Most people use either a satin or semi-gloss sheen for their interior trim. Satin has become a popular choice in the last several years because it looks modern and has a little bit of shine.  However, I prefer semi-gloss paint because it has more shine, making it pop. Plus, it’s more durable and easier to keep clean, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. Many interior designers recommend against using high gloss paint for trim. Although I love how it looks, its higher gloss level makes any slight imperfection stand out as if there was a giant foam finger (like the kind you see at sports games) pointing at it and saying, “look at me!” If you want a headache-free choice (yes, please!), go with a semi-gloss sheen for your trim.
