Interior paint uses gloss and matt finishes to give different effects to an interior room. Gloss paint will reflect light a little more than matt paint which gives it a slight shine, matt interior paint is simply color on the wall which will look less shiny that gloss. Gloss paint offers more water resistance than matt paint which makes it more suitable for bathrooms and kitchens.
