Greetings ! We are in the process of painting walls in a house - we don't want the walls ''flat'' with no shine at all to them...but not to shiny. I know there is a right way to do this, I just don't know it. With what should the actuall walls be painted - and also what about the molding/trim ? Thank you !

You could paint the walls with paint with an eggshell finish. The walls won't be flat but they will not be shiny either. Trim is usually painted with semi-gloss.

Satin or eggshell for walls.
Semi-gloss for trim.

Google types of paint and it will be explained or go to a reputable paint store and ask them to explain, not hard

All of my walls have been painted to have the satin finish.

All of our walls are semi gloss. Flat is just well, flat, no oomph. Plus I want to be able to wash if needed. It's not all that shiny.

@sarahpandaYour paint store salesman can give you advice on what paint to buy to give you the finish you want, probably just flat wall paint. A flat finish shows dirt the most and is the least scrubable, if that matters.
