i think you should definitely think carefully about the wear the area is going to get before opting for the true chalky finish F&B. it's not wipeable at all, and we have found scuffs and marks on the paint tend to stay scuffed and marked.
with two toddlers, we really regretted using the chalky finish in our room. we thought we'd be safe, but they managed to leave little tell tale traces of themselves all over the room!
i used F&B modern emulsion in our living room, and you do definitely sacrifice the chalky finish, but it was more practical for us for a higher use area with our kids. even with the modern emulsion, we like the way the colour behaves in different lights.
i ended up using little greene in our hallway, and was really impressed with it. very practical, it seems to take the hammering our children and the buggy have thrown at it.
not a massive fan of the F&B eggshell emulsion. we found it chipped really easily. perhaps just our painters, but we were not thrilled.
