Change the Sheen Without Re-Painting

share

I’ve recently re-painted two rooms in my house. In both cases I used a satin finish on the walls, flat on the ceiling. The finished job exceeded my expectations – the cut-in at the ceiling is sharp, all trim caulked, the color is dead on – really looks nice. Only problem is the wall finish is a little too glossy for my liking and in retrospect I probably should have went with an eggshell.

Is there anything I can do to dull the surface finish of the walls without having to re-paint?

  1. This could be simple as waiting for the paint to fully cure. Many paints will look shinier at first but tone down when cured, this could take 2-4 weeks. The only other option is repaint with your chosen sheen. Test the new sheen to make sure it looks the way you want.
