Sometimes yes and sometimes no. Here’s the deal. The more sheen “shinny” a paint is the easier it will be to take a wet rag and wipe off. However the more shinny it is the more imperfections in the sheetrock and texture you will notice. Also shinny paint usually is not the best choice if you like to pull out a brush and do a touch up here and there. The wet sheen will not blend with the dry sheen and if there is any light on the touch up you will see a sheen spot.
Just because a paint is flat does not mean its cheap. The guts of a high quality flat paint can be much better than a junky semi gloss. High quality flat paints will hold there color and sheen and will touch up very well. Recently I went to a customer’s home in Frisco that we had done a full interior job for 2 years previous. They were putting the house on the market and wanted to repaint all the walls to freshing it up. They just assumed like most that the paint would touch up. We pulled a can out of the garage. Touched it up and they were amazed that it blended right in. It saved them about $3,000. If we had done there walls in an eggshell or satin they would have to repainted most of the walls.
Ok here’s the complicated scientific explination on sheen; its how shinny the paint is. There you have it folks. The levels of sheen from least to greatest are flat, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, and gloss. Flats are also called matte, or velvette. Eggshell can also be called low-luster, and every once in a while you will see a manufaturer label something “high gloss”. Every manufacture has a different standard of how much “shine” is necessary for a certain name. The best thing to do is get a sample of the paint and put it on the wall so you can see for yourself.
I couldn’t be happier with DFW Painting. They were very professional, easy to work with, and respectful of my home; not to mention, the pricing was GREAT! DFW Painting even recommended the colors for my entire condo and they look fabulous. I highly recommend DFW Painting and I will use them for any and all future painting needs.

Do make note of the desired environment for interior painting. What mood do you want to convey? A peaceful haven or an energy inspiring space? Think about your favorite places to play, or a restaurant you love frequenting. What is the color palate used in these settings? Perhaps it will work well in your home.
Don’t underestimate chameleon qualities of color. Varying types of light cause changes in any color. Talk to your DFW painting professional about painting a test swatch on a portion of your wall that receives both natural and artificial light. Observing color in these various types of lights will aid in your decision-making.
Do plan on smoothly integrating your home with color for a successful house painting project. Think about the flow from one room to the next. Pick out a palate that will work well together on your walls and then unite the rooms by painting the baseboards, trim, and crown molding all one color.
Don’t forget your ceilings. DFW painting is known for our popcorn removal. We have a proprietary process unlike that of any other Dallas painting companies. Nothing updates a room like removing that 1970s texture. Give painters the opportunity to make your home feel brand new with more than just color!
Do embrace the new neutrals. Gray is the new beige. It is versatile and comes in warm, cool, light, or dark shades. Painters in Dallas have seen an increase in demand for all shades of gray. Rethink your view of this color and reinvent your favorite space with just the right shade of gray.
Don’t resist your instincts. One thing all painting companies can agree on is the customer must feel comfortable with the outcome. You can refresh a room without making drastic changes. It’s allowed.
Do make note of anything needing to coordinate with your home’s interior color choices. Painters in Dallas have the privilege of painting some of the most desirable homes around. What type of tantalizing pieces do you want to incorporate? A family heirloom, an awe-inspiring area rug, or maybe an envied piece of artwork from abroad?
