Is semi gloss paint okay for a bedroom?

At one time paint only came in a limited gloss range, flat, semi-gloss and high-gloss. The higher the gloss factor the harder the paint... the harder the paint the more washable it is. People used to only use high gloss or semi-gloss in kitchens and bathrooms so they could keep the rooms cleaner. These days, with the availability of a wider selection of gloss finishes and the tendency for people to paint more frequently, it is no long essential to use semi-gloss in your kitchen. I have been using a pearl luster paint successfully in kitchen for more than ten years with very good results.


What is the difference between satin and semi-gloss paint?

Satin is lower gloss than semi-gloss paint. Paint finishes in order of decreasing gloss are: * Gloss * Semi-gloss * Satin/Low sheen * Flat Some manufacturers call Satin/Low sheen finish Eggshell, and others regard this as a finish between Satin/Low sheen and Flat paint. The higher the gloss finish the easier it is to clean, the higher its durabillity and the more it shows surface imperfections.
