Do you know the difference between flat and matte paint?
Many people don’t realize these are two distinct options. Flat paint offers the lowest sheen, making it the best choice for hiding imperfections and giving walls a smooth, soft appearance. However, it is less washable than other finishes.
If you are looking for a washable surface that still maintains a low-sheen, soft look, consider a matte finish. Matte is essentially a low-shine eggshell finish and serves as an excellent middle ground between flat and satin.
