Screen colours are a guide only. At your free consultation we brush the real paint onto your wall and check it in morning and afternoon light.
Sheen guide
Which finish goes where? Ask the house.
Every client asks this and few painters answer it properly. Sheen is the amount of light a paint reflects. Flatter finishes hide flaws and glare; glossier finishes take knocks and wipe clean. Move over any part of the house to see what we would use and why.
Hover, tap or use the buttons. Not to scale, but the advice is.
We would use
Living, bedroom and hallway walls
Low sheenWashable low-sheen acrylic
Low sheen is the sweet spot for most rooms: soft under lamplight, forgiving on old plaster, and wipeable enough for everyday marks. Satin on a big wall shows every patch and roller lap.
Hallways, stairs and kids' rooms get a premium washable grade of the same sheen, so the whole home still reads as one finish.
