    In my humble opinion, gloss if you are good at glossing - satin if you're not.

    I've tried both but prefer the satin. I also feels it goes better with the paint on the walls. I thought gloss looked too shiny next to the rest of the wall.

    Satin.

    Gloss looks a bit dated nowadays and satin s easier to work with as well. More forgiving! And it is durable, even the waterbased versions. I prefer this as then no need for nasty cleaning chemicals,
  • Neither for me. Eggshell looks much nicer to me.
