**Know Your Space**: Think about where you’re painting. High-traffic areas like hallways or kitchens might need a more durable finish, like satin or semi-gloss, while bedrooms could be fine with a flat or eggshell finish.

**Consider the Lighting**: Lighting can change how a finish looks. If your room has lots of natural light, a glossy finish can really pop, but in darker spaces, a matte finish might help soften things up.

**Think About Maintenance**: If you’re painting a surface that gets a lot of wear and tear, go for something easy to clean, like a semi-gloss or gloss. Flat finishes can be harder to wipe down, so keep that in mind!

**Test Samples**: Always grab some sample pots and paint small patches on your wall. This way, you can see how the finish looks at different times of day and in different lighting before committing.
