I've never used satinwood but having seen it, the finish definitely would suit the walls - but it is ok for cleaning/living with etc for skirting/door frames/window sills etc?

Yep - Dulux trade diamond satin for whole house white blitz - or Farrow ball for a colour on a single room.

Never seen it used on walls/plaster though and would get expensive? You may be breaking new ground here..

IF you want a dead flat chalky looking finish for wall take a look at Dulux trade heritage or Farrow ball 'estate'

Satinwood is for woodwork not walls. If you want a sheen finish for your walls your options are silk (just no OK), soft sheen or acrylic eggshell-which is similar to soft sheen but more expensive.

Sorry, badly written OP.

The satinwood finish on the wood, would match the colours that have already been applied to the walls - not painting the walls with it!

Is it ok to wipe clean then?

Ah yep got ya. Satinwood is oil based which is way tougher than water based so yeah you can wipe it same as gloss really but all oil based paints go yellow with age whereas water based paints dont, which means that after a few months the colour will differ from the walls...
