Use Matt Emulsion - never Silk

Why only Matt ?

On a ceiling, it just doesn't look right. Walls, you can get away with,
but that is only my personal opinion.

It depends on the room IME... generally I like white matt ceilings, but
there are some rooms where silk seems to work better. Probably ones with
highly detailed sculpted ceiling papers - the silk makes the pattern
more visible.

Sorry, I didn't consider that, only plain and artex ones. You are
probably right there.
