BM Advance is a great water bourne alkyd paint. We use it often. My wall recommendation is BM Matte and trim in Semi-Gloss for durability/clean-ability. For the doors, BM Advance in Semi-Gloss as well. Post pics or share what color palette you are thinking and I will be happy to take a look. BM is the BEST! Good luck

Semi gloss is a moderate gloss. Satin is more of a smooth dull finish.

Thank you both for your input.

Our trim is Advance satin. Both the paint store and my painter said that the Advance semi-gloss tends to be glossier than people anticipate, and painter said the majority of his clients prefer the satin. We went with that and walls are painted in BM aura matte. Contrast is nice, but I have no way to compare to semi-gloss. It’s really just personal preference. Cleaning the trim only requires a damp rag.

Hi,

I would advice Advance Satin for the woodwork and use Aura matte for the walls.

We usually try to keep the woodwork on the same shine(trim and doors)

Aura is a great water based washable that we use in all our projects that I can only recommend.

You can achieve a great modern look just making a strong color contrast rather than using different paint.

Good luck!
