So sorry for our late response! The trim was done with a Satin Finish and the wall was done with a flat finish.

Hope this helps!

Can I ask why you would use a flat finish for the walls and a satin for the trim? I've always done an eggshell or satin on the wall and a semi gloss for the trim. Just curious to see if this is a new trend or??

Thanks for the great question Shelley! Unfortunately, there is not an exact answer we are able to give you, but our clients tend to prefer this as a finish. It has less shine to its appearance and still provides the room with a more current and formal atmosphere.

Best,
