Matte vs Gloss: Choosing the Right Paint Finish for Your Space

The paint finish is just as important as the colour you choose. Matte and gloss finishes change the way light interacts with your walls, texture, durability and ease of cleaning. The right one can bring your interiors up, while the wrong one can call attention to flaws or show wear and tear. Knowing the distinction between matte and glossy assists you to create a confident decision that combine beauty, function and durability.

Matte Finish: Soft, Elegant & Understated

Matte finishes let walls have a softened and lived-in look. They absorb light, which makes rooms feel warm and inviting, and they do a good job of concealing slight imperfections.

Best suited for:

  • Bedrooms and living rooms
  • Ceilings and large wall areas
  • Walls with slight uneven textures

Matte finishes are softer and should be cleaned with gentle products, while they are suitable for less-trafficked areas where the look is more important than durability.

Gloss Finish: Shiny, Durable & Easy to Maintain

Reflect Light Gloss finishes reflect the light, which is what gives colours depth and luminosity. They are very strong and easy to keep clean, so it makes them suitable for high traffic areas.

Ideal for:

  • Doors, trims, and cabinets
  • Kitchens and bathrooms
  • High-touch surfaces

Because gloss is so reflective, all surfaces should be prepared correctly to ensure that the final finish looks professional and lasts.

How to Choose the Right Finish

Whether the space is matte or gloss Is based on what the function of the room. Matte is ideal for those going for a softer look, as well as to camouflage wall imperfections. Gloss works best when durability and ease of cleaning are the main goals. Some homeowners combine the two finishes – matte walls with gloss details – finding that doing so strikes a balance, makes things easier to clean and gives the space some depth.
