Where are sheens typically used and why?

 

Paint sheen is defined the measure of the reflected light from various types of paint. There are a few different types of sheen:

Gloss:
Flat:
Mid Sheen:
Low Sheen:

Basically, sheen selection is always a balance of looks versus durability. You want more durability in kitchens, bathrooms, and high traffic areas while in well lighted large areas such as a two-story family room you may want to opt for a flat sheen. Items heavily handled that require frequent cleaning such as a door would suggest a gloss finish.
