Matt, satin, or gloss? Learn how sheen changes colour, cleaning, light reflection, and the final character of a room.
Sheen changes more than shine
Matt finishes feel calm and contemporary, satin offers a balanced low-lustre appearance, and gloss reflects more light for a sharper statement. The right choice depends on the room, colour, natural light, and how often the surface is handled.
Balance appearance with maintenance
Satin is a popular all-rounder because it is easy to clean without showing every reflection. Matt works beautifully on larger uninterrupted surfaces, while gloss can be used selectively to create contrast.
