        "text": "For basement walls, satin or eggshell finishes are usually best. Basements naturally hold more moisture and see less natural airflow than upper levels. Eggshell and satin paints provide enough sheen to resist moisture and allow for easy wiping without highlighting minor drywall imperfections the way semi-gloss can. Flat paint is generally avoided on basement walls because it absorbs moisture and stains easily, though it remains a solid choice for ceilings. For baseboards and door trim, semi-gloss provides the necessary durability against scuffs and vacuum bumps.",
