Painting is one of the most affordable ways to transform your home — but picking the right paint finish is just as important as choosing the color. Whether you’re in Vancouver, Burnaby, or Coquitlam, understanding how each finish performs in your home’s unique spaces can save you from future touch-ups and frustration.
Understanding Paint Finishes
There are several types of finishes — each with unique looks and durability.
Flat / Matte:
Best for low-traffic areas like bedrooms or ceilings. It hides imperfections but isn’t easy to clean.
Eggshell:
The most popular for Vancouver homes. It offers a soft sheen, cleans easily, and adds subtle warmth — perfect for living rooms and hallways.
Satin:
Great for high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Satin finishes resist moisture and wipe clean easily, ideal for families with kids or pets.
Semi-Gloss & Gloss:
Highly durable and reflective — best for trim, doors, and cabinetry. In humid Vancouver climates, these finishes help protect against moisture damage.
The Vancouver Factor
Humidity, salt air, and frequent rain can affect paint longevity. Choosing the correct finish and paint formula ensures your walls last longer and resist mold, especially in older or coastal homes.
