Thank you, in the middle of having large entry way painted in a 200 year old house. This confirmed that I will have the painters use Pearl finish on the wood work and crown mouldings to minimize imperfections.

Glad I could help!

Excellent video. Thank you very much. I’ve been using Benjamin Moore products for quite a while now. Your video helped me understand a few of the subtleties that I didn’t know before.

What is the best finish for kitchen and bath walls? Should i use flat or matt on the ceiling?

[@tariniakeith1060]

Your video was very helpful..

Thank you so much, so happy you found it useful, Cheers-Aida

for a 2o foot ceiling foyer and a living room what finish should be used which can be cleaned once in a while.

Great video!

I am thrilled you liked it .Cheers_Aida

What about Benjamin Moore’s ulti matte?

[@wearywanderer]

Great video; really helpful!
Would pearl for trim and eggshell for walls create enough of a difference if I am painting both the same colour?

[@AF-ot4pi]

I like a slight gloss or shimmer on my walls. Would Aura Satin for Classic Gray walls and Aura Satin for Super White trim be a good choice? Or should we do Semi-gloss for the Super White trim? It will be for new construction. We have a 2 yr old and 4 yr old so washability and durability is very important.
Or we could do Aura Eggshell for walls and Aura Satin for trim in main areas and do Satin walls and Semi-gloss trim for kids bedrooms?
Thanks for the tips.

If I’m painting my living room white (Chantilly Lace) would I be better off with eggshell or Matte?

[@styluxdesignandconstructio9298]

For light colors , I prefer eggshell. Cheers_Aida

[@natalieast3516]

would pearl be okay for furniture or should i go for semi-gloss? thinking of painting some vintage wood furniture in Benjamin Moore's Chantilly Lace!

[@styluxdesignandconstructio9298]

Hi , pearl is going to work fine , i suggest you prime first then use advance pearl in the color that you are interested 😊

[@angelamae5518]

What sheen would you use for a kitchen wall and a kitchen ceiling?

[@styluxdesignandconstructio9298]

We used to use satin for kitchen walls to be able to clean it now with the new technology most of the sheens are cleanable. If you are using Benjamin Moore then you can go for eggshell for the wall and ceiling paint ( flat) for ceiling. I suggest you use Aura for the kitchen! All the best.Cheers_Aida

What sheen would be best for bedrooms

[@styluxdesignandconstructio9298]

Hi , you can use either eggshell or Matte if you are using Benjamin Moore paint. Matte will show less imperfection .
If you are not using Benjamin Moore then i suggest eggshell. Cheers-Aida

[@kimmywatson1803]

Thank you😊😊

Your welcome

[@dakotaredding1]

Thanks for the information. What is the best sheen for bathroom walls and celing? Which is good for kitchen walls and celings?

[@styluxdesignandconstructio9298]

Hi , Depending on the brand of the paint .
We used to suggest satin or semi gloss for bathroom however Benjamin Moore came out with the paint called Aura bath and spa and it has a beautiful matt finish with the new technology that is perfect for bathroom. The technology of paint changed so much , for the kitchen you can choose satin or eggshell .I usually tile around the stove so eggshell on the wall of the kitchen is fine .
Benjamin Moore has good quality paint
Let me know if you have any questions
Cheers-Aida

Without seeing the finishes this is useless. Would have been much better to show walls with different finishes while talking.

[@styluxdesignandconstructio9298]

By finishes I believe you mean different sheen ? I did this video with all the equipment I had and I didn't have access to the walls with all different type of sheens and paint type . It is alot of differenttype . If you go to the Benjamin Moore paint store or your local paint store they have a sheen card that you can pick up . I hope that helps you . Cheers-Aida

[@johnnyroc]

@@styluxdesignandconstructio9298 Yes sheen, I’ve looked at different sheens at BM’s shop then tried to youtube so I could see what the walls actually look like in different sheens.

[@styluxdesignandconstructio9298]

I understand the sheen are so settle that I thought the camera could capture it .The best is pick up a sheen chart .I wish you all the best. Cheers-Aida

It's so unbelievably useless to have a video TALKING about different finishes instead of SHOWING the actual differences.
