Use Flat Paint

What happens here

Always choose a flat paint for ceilings. Flat paint is superior for ceiling applications because it effectively hides imperfections and minimizes light reflection. Unlike paints with higher sheens (satin, semi-gloss, or eggshell/HL), flat paint does not show light glare or roller marks, which are often visible on ceilings due to varying light conditions. The presenter explains that while certain situations (like bathrooms or kitchens) might require different paint types for durability or cleanability, flat paint is generally the best choice for achieving a flawless ceiling finish in most rooms.

Goal: Select the correct paint type for optimal ceiling appearance.
