Use satin paint for applications where cleanability and durability are most important. Satin paint can be used on select low-impact surfaces like door casings, door and window trim, doors, and windows. High-impact surfaces should be painted with semi-gloss or high-gloss paint.

Satin paint works well in kitchens, bathrooms, kids' rooms, bedrooms, living rooms, hallways, offices, and finished basements.
If you'd like to avoid reflection, do not use satin paint on walls that receive a lot of direct sunlight. While satin paint can be used on ceilings, flat or matte paint is typically used here.
On large paint projects, switching from one paint to another slows progress and drives up costs. So, having one paint that can be used for different types of surfaces is valuable.
While no paint can be used for every application, some paints are better at this than others. Paints in the middle of the gloss ranking&#;satin and eggshell&#;are well-suited for a broad range of uses.
Satin paint is an excellent choice for children's rooms and kitchens because it cleans up so well. Satin paint's tight pores mean that markers, food stains, dirt, and liquids clean off better than with flatter paints. Because of these tight pores, satin paint stands up moderately well to water.
So, satin is a good, moisture-resistant paint choice for walls in some bathrooms and kitchens. Satin paint can be used for bathroom ceilings when mold and mildew are a concern.
Satin paint is simple to apply. It's not as easy as flat paint, with its rapid drying time (30 minutes or less) and resistance to lap marks. But it doesn't take as long to dry and cure as gloss paint (2 to 3 hours or more). Plus, lap marks are difficult to avoid in gloss and semi-gloss paint.

Satin paint takes about an hour to dry, in optimal conditions. When applying satin paint, as long as you brush or roll off of a wet edge, lap marks are unlikely to appear.
Satin paint falls between semi-gloss and eggshell paints and is on the center of the overall gloss scale. This center position means that satin paint addresses many factors: gloss, durability, and moisture resistance.
Satin paint is closer to eggshell than any other paint finish. Satin paint is glossier than eggshell paint, but only slightly so.
Satin and eggshell paints are sometimes used interchangeably. Some brands of satin and eggshell paints contain the same PVC ratios, so they are essentially the same paint gloss.
Flat paints soak up moisture and can easily stain. Satin paint sheds moisture and works well in powder rooms or for bathrooms that aren't moisture-heavy.
For high-moisture bathrooms or for crucial areas (such as near a shower), use semi-gloss paint.
Any paint that has a greater amount of binding agents will last longer. With nearly twice the amount of binders than flat paint, satin paint resists chips and scratches substantially better than flat paint and slightly better than eggshell paint.
