Should I use semi gloss or Satin paint for my dining room?

Which is mostly used in that area?Should I use semi gloss or Satin paint for my dining room?
alot of times now a days people are painting there dining rooms with some pretty stunning colours so if this is the case i would use a matte finish. it is scrubbable and most paint companies off it now and if your drywall finish is not the best it will hide alot of imperfection. also make sure that you repair and cracks or popped screwheads and primer them and sand all of your walls and in between coatsShould I use semi gloss or Satin paint for my dining room?
Go with a Satin. Semi gloss paints are way to shiny and will show every little imperfection on your walls. Do you want your house to look like the inside of an Amish home? That's all they use is semigloss. Plus it can be very difficult to paint with a semigloss as you may have to put 2-3 coats on to hide your roller marks. Good day.
Definitely satin.
Generally satin. But.... if you have kids and expect the walls to need washing alot, you might want to consider semi-gloss. More important is to use a good quality paint!!
satin semi os too glossy shows imperfections
satin.
Go with eggshell. It has a bit more sheen than satin, but not the glaring glossiness of a semigloss. Semigloss is used in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms - basically where you have a lot of moisture. The flatter a paint is, the more difficult it is to clean. So, there's another advantage of eggshell over satin.
I believe that Satin is way prettier!! Go with it!!
You are in a realm of personnal taste here, me, it would have to be satin, or egg shell. If you are going for a unique look, maybe something you have seen that you like, maybe a semi gloss will give you that look.





Most modern paints all clean up well, it doesnt have to be glossy to clean up.





good luck,

I don't like shiny paint on interior walls, although I'll tolerate it in kitchens and baths because they need to be washable and/or moisture resistant.





Go for the one closer to a matte finish. I think that's satin?
Satin looks great, but semi-gloss is easier to clean if you have small children.
John is right, going with semi or high gloss because it is more cleanable is a thing of the past. Most good quality paints are washable, even flat paints. The biggest considerations in choosing your finish is the quality of the surface, the amount of light in the room, and individual taste. Gloss paint do accentuate imperfection, but also save on energy consumption. They reflect light, so you can lower to wattage of the bulb you are using and get the same amount of light. Dark flat paints absorb the light so you have to increase the wattage. Just something in addition to consider. Think Green.
