The higher the sheen the more it will highlight imperfections. I personally like a satin but its a personal preference I generally leave to the customer.
What sheen to use on walnut trim?
What sheen level is best for walnut trim? The house is trimmed out craftsman style with walnut on everything. Base, casing, door, stair, coffered ceiling, etc.
Everything will be stained something similar to a dark walnut. Walnut can show defects and scratches so easily, I think the finish guy normally uses a high sheen finish. Would you go with a satin?
