Sheen trends don’t evolve as frequently as color trends, but there have been some noticeable changes throughout the decades. Let’s talk about those.
Historically, walls were eggshell and all wood (crown, doors, trim, baseboards, etc) were semi-gloss. Semi-gloss is definitely easy to clean, but it’s also very shiny—many people feel it’s too shiny, and we tend to agree. We can count on one hand the number of times we’ve used semi-gloss in a residential environment in the last 10 years!
Ceilings
Flat sheen is typically used for ceilings as it reduces glare and also hides minor imperfections well.
Walls
For walls, flat and eggshell sheens are the most common and in-demand due to their elegant, non-reflective finish. Eggshell has a slight shine and is more washable and durable than flat but it can also highlight wall imperfections, so before going eggshell we want to make sure you have nice, smooth walls. Flat and eggshell sheens are ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms.
Cabinets, Doors, and Trim
Like we said earlier, semi-gloss (and even high-gloss) sheens were typically used for doors, trim, and cabinets but the shift is almost 100% to satin for all the wood substrates in your home. Satin is (1) still durable and washable, making it ideal for these high-use, high-traffic areas, and (2) still highlights these surfaces without the “woah, that’s shiny” feeling we all loved in the 80s and 90s!
In painting, “sheen” refers to the level of glossiness in the finish of the paint. It’s an important factor to consider when choosing paint as it can greatly affect the appearance and functionality of the painted surface. Here are the different levels of sheen, listed from least glossy to most glossy:
1. Flat (or Matte)
This type of paint has the least amount of shine and provides a smooth, non-reflective finish. Flat paint is great for hiding imperfections on your walls as it doesn’t reflect light. It’s typically used for ceilings and low-traffic areas. However, it’s less durable and doesn’t clean easily, so it’s not ideal for high-traffic areas.
2. Eggshell
This paint finish is a good middle ground with a slight sheen that’s comparable to the low gloss of an eggshell. It’s more washable and durable than flat paint, making it suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms.
3. Satin
Satin paint has a slightly glossy finish that’s easy to clean, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. This finish is perfect for family rooms, foyers, hallways, kids’ bedrooms, and kitchens.
4. Semi-Gloss
This finish is shinier and more reflective than satin. It’s also very durable and easy to clean, making it ideal for areas exposed to moisture, like kitchens and bathrooms, as well as high-touch surfaces like doors and trim.
5. High-Gloss
The most reflective of all paint sheens, high-gloss paint is highly durable and easy to clean. It’s a good choice for areas that face a lot of wear and tear, like doors, trim, and cabinets. However, its high reflectivity will highlight any imperfections on the surface, so proper preparation is key.
Each sheen has its own advantages and can significantly impact the aesthetic and function of the room. The right choice depends on the room, the surface being painted, the desired aesthetic, and the amount of durability needed.
This is a hugely popular question! A lot depends on your personal style and the style of your kitchen so if you haven’t already, head over to our Cabinet Painting Learning Center where we go deep on color and kitchens! That said, let’s do a quick review right here in this awesome FAQ (it is pretty good, isn’t it?)
The most popular kitchen cabinet colors reflect the Miami vibe, the love for sleek and modern aesthetics, and an appreciation for natural light. These trends have led to an emphasis on light, neutral, and minimalist colors that can brighten up a space, and make the kitchen look clean and airy. Let’s do another Top 5!
1. White
A timeless choice, white cabinets can make a kitchen feel clean, bright, and spacious. Shades like Benjamin Moore’s Decorator’s White and Sherwin Williams’ Pure White are great options.
2. Light Grays
Light gray offers a soft, neutral look that can still add some depth and contrast. Consider Benjamin Moore’s Gray Owl or Sherwin Williams’ Repose Gray.
3. Greige
A blend of gray and beige, greige creates a warm yet contemporary look. Try Benjamin Moore’s Revere Pewter or Sherwin Williams’ Accessible Beige.
4. Soft Blues
For a pop of subtle color that still maintains a light and airy feel, soft blue can be a fantastic choice. Try Sherwin Williams’ Rain or Benjamin Moore’s Soft Chinchilla.
5. Two-Toned Cabinets
For those looking to make a more distinctive design statement, the two-toned cabinet trend involves painting upper and lower cabinets in different colors. Often, this is done with a lighter shade on top and a darker one on the bottom to ground the space. For instance, white on the upper cabinets and a darker gray or blue on the lower ones.

A very important question and concern, and one that we take very seriously. Interior painting is safe for your family and pets when done correctly and with the right materials. Here are some of the key factors to consider:
1. Use Low-VOC or No-VOC Paints
VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) are chemicals that can evaporate from paint as it dries. Some people are sensitive to these chemicals, and they can cause irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat, and can be harmful in large amounts. Low-VOC or No-VOC paints have fewer of these compounds and are safer options.
2. Proper Ventilation
Always ensure that the painting area is well-ventilated. This helps to circulate fresh air and expedite the drying process.
3. Keep Pets and Children Away
Although the paint is safe, it’s best to keep pets and small children out of the freshly painted area until it’s fully dry to avoid accidental contact or ingestion. Remember when your first grade teacher told you not to eat the paint chips? Yeah, there was a reason for that.
4. Professional Application
Hiring professional painters ensures that the job is done correctly and safely. They have the necessary experience and equipment to minimize any potential hazards.
If you have specific health concerns or severe allergies, be sure to discuss this with your us so we can take extra precautions or recommend specific products to meet your needs.
Quick story: once upon a time we painted for a young woman who told us that she always had terrible respiratory reactions to previous paint jobs she’d been around, even after the paint had dried several weeks. We proposed natural lime painting, and the only reaction our customer had was one of total surprise about how amazing and unique the lime product looked!
To protect your furniture and flooring, we use drop cloths, plastic sheeting, and masking tape. We carefully cover all items and areas that are not to be painted.
How do we protect your furniture and floors? With more coverage than a winter coat in a snowstorm (not that we really know what that feels like in Miami). Not a speck of paint will dare touch your precious items.
Dark woods and surfaces often require more coats due to their high pigment absorption rate. More layers ensure even coverage and vibrant color.
We do offer package deals for combined services. Please contact us for more information.
While we specialize in painting, we do offer handyman services, which may include light fixtures and security camera replacement.
The cost of interior painting varies based on several factors, including the size of the area to be painted, the complexity of the project, and the types of paint used. Please contact us for an accurate quote.
Some alternatives to interior painting could include wallpaper, paneling, tile, or architectural elements like molding and trim. There is also venetian plaster, limewash, and a handful of other faux finishes.
Options for metal windows and doors could include vinyl wrapping, powder coating, or anodizing for a different look and feel.

Taking care of your freshly painted walls is crucial to preserving their beauty. Here are a few tips:
Eggshell sheen offers a subtle, low-sheen finish that adds depth and warmth to your walls. However, it’s essential to handle it with care as it can reveal imperfections more than other sheens. Proper surface preparation is key to achieving a flawless finish with eggshell paint. Which is something we are happy to do for you if that’s what you really desire.
For ceilings, a flat or matte sheen is typically recommended. This finish helps to minimize surface imperfections and glare, providing a smooth and uniform appearance across the ceiling.
No worries! We’ve got you covered. As part of our commitment to exceptional service, we provide a complimentary color consultation to help you find the perfect palette for your space.
