Choosing the right paint

We all know about matt emulsion for walls and ceilings and gloss for woodwork but when we visit a paint shop there is so much more to choose from. How do I know what other paints goes on what surface ?
Below is a useful guide that'll make it so much easier
FOR WALLS AND CEILINGS
Flat matt
Matt
Soft sheen
Silk
FOR DOORS AND SKIRTING
Eggshell - Durable low sheen
Satin wood - Hard-wearing subtle-sheen
Gloss - High-sheen reflective finish
