Protecting emulsion

[silver50]

I’ve like a low wall round a kitchen area in my livingroom. It’s always best matching it in with the other walls so I emulsion it.

I was wondering if rolling on matt water based varnish (mini roller) might not be a bad idea to protect it quite well? I was just a thought as it’s easily brushed against.

TIA

Sounds bonkers, probably a nightmare to paint over again. Better off buying a tough/washable emulsion I'd think.

Or get the same colour in a satinwood or tougher finish?

Thanks. Maybe try a tough emulsion

I was painting a wall mirror frame in the emulsion earlier and the thought actually came to mind with that. To protect it and give it a slight sheen. I might try a bit on the mirror it’ll be interesting to see how it looks.
