When choosing interior paint, the sheen you select can make a big difference in both the final look and the durability of your walls.
At Blū Paint, we’ve made the decision to offer mostly eggshell sheen—and here’s why we think it’s the best choice for nearly every space in your home.
What Is Paint Sheen?
Paint sheen refers to how shiny or reflective the paint appears once it dries. The most common sheens include:
- Flat/Matte – No shine, best for hiding imperfections but harder to clean.
- Eggshell – A subtle sheen, slightly more durable than matte, and easy to maintain.
- Pearl/Satin – A bit shinier than eggshell, more washable but also highlights wall imperfections.
- Semi-Gloss & Gloss – High shine, great for trim and doors but not ideal for large walls.
Why We Chose Eggshell (And Why You Should Too)
Eggshell is the most popular paint sheen—and for good reason. Think of the soft, slight shine on an actual eggshell—that’s the finish you can expect.
Here’s why we believe eggshell is the perfect sheen for your home:
✅ Durable & Easy to Clean – Unlike flat or matte finishes, eggshell has a slight sheen that makes it more resistant to scuffs and stains. You can easily wipe down walls without damaging the paint.
✅ Perfect Balance of Style & Function – Eggshell gives your walls a beautiful, soft glow without being too shiny. It reflects light just enough to keep your space bright while still feeling warm and inviting.
✅ Works in Any Room – Whether it’s a busy hallway, a cozy bedroom, or a high-traffic living room, eggshell is versatile enough to work everywhere.
✅ Hides Imperfections Better Than Shinier Finishes – Unlike satin or semi-gloss, eggshell doesn’t highlight small wall dents or uneven surfaces, giving your walls a smooth and flawless look.
Where to Use Eggshell Paint
We recommend using eggshell on most walls in your home, including:
- Living rooms – A soft, inviting finish that reflects light beautifully.
- Bedrooms and Home Office – Durable yet subtle.
- Hallways & Entryways – Handles everyday wear and tear while looking polished.
- Kids’ Rooms & Family Spaces – Easy to clean, making it great for high-traffic areas.
