Satin paint is a mid-sheen paint that is more durable than matte paint but less durable than semi-gloss and gloss paint. It is a versatile paint that can be used on walls, woodwork, and ceilings. Satin paint is an excellent choice for hardworking rooms like kitchens and bathrooms because it stands up exceptionally well to scrubbing and regular cleaning. It is also a good choice for childrens rooms because it cleans up so well. Satin paint is available in many colors, and it can look different according to the light, appearing smooth and velvety at lower light levels and showing its shine when the lumens are ramped up. However, its glossiness highlights wall imperfections like cracks, divots, or poorly patched areas. Satin paint is not recommended for high-impact surfaces, which should be painted with semi-gloss or high-gloss paint.
