AP Royale Luxury Emulsion

Royale Luxury is the paint people ask for by name, and for interiors it earns it. The Teflon surface layer means household marks such as crayon, tea and fingerprints around switches come off with a damp cloth instead of leaving a shadow. Soft sheen rather than flat matt, so it reflects a little light without looking plasticky. Low VOC and near odourless, which matters if the family is living in the house during the job.

Worth the money in living rooms, hallways and children's rooms where walls get touched. In a guest bedroom that nobody enters, Premium Emulsion at half the price will look the same for years. Interior only; do not let a contractor talk you into using it outside.
