Wall Treatments
Satin Paint
Satin paint provides a soft, pearl-like sheen that reflects more light than eggshell while remaining less shiny than semi-gloss. This middle-ground finish offers excellent durability and washability, making it ideal for high-traffic areas and rooms requiring frequent cleaning.
The subtle luster of satin creates a polished appearance without the sometimes-harsh reflectivity of glossier finishes. It handles moisture well, resists staining, and cleans easily—practical qualities that earn it a place in kitchens, bathrooms, and busy family areas.

Satin is often the best choice when you want durability but dislike the look of semi-gloss on walls. The subtle sheen adds richness without the "shiny" appearance some find unappealing.
