Matt or Silk Emulsion for a Kitchen/Dining area?

[Akshay]

Hi I'm not sure what the benefits are of each of these paints but what is advisable for an open plan kitchen/dining area? Are there any advantages/disadvantages for either type?

A mate told me silk or satin is good in kitchens because it wipes down easily, but does it shine too much under spotlights? (which is what I have in there)

What condition is the surfaces in ? It all depends on this question !

The walls were skimmed so in good condition. I was just thinking what difference Silk paint made as I've not used it before.

Soft Sheen is what you need Dulux or Johnstone's.
