Hi All,
We are just about to paint our kitchen and are a bit confused with all the diffrent emulsions available. I know there is a special one for kitchens and bathrooms but have read bad reviews on them. What is the best to use?
Would really appreciate some advice.

    I have only use standard emulsion.

    We use Matt and haven't had any problems.

    I always Use Wickes, not the the entry level stuff and it is very hard wearing, you can wipe off surface marks easily (obviously you can't rub it hard).
