Integrate an Accent Wall

If you’re repainting a smaller room, a contrasting color can create the illusion of a larger area. A high gloss painted accent wall is an effective design choice for any room, no matter how modest its size. You can use a deeper shade of the color on your walls already or incorporate a bold, eye-catching hue. Any change in color and finish shifts the focal point in the room, making the room appear larger and more spacious.

Use High Gloss Painted Trim

To create a consistent appearance throughout your interior, try high gloss painted trim. This technique will give your home a seamless flow, effortlessly tying each room together. A consistent trim color will also highlight your walls’ and interior’s shape and architecture.

This paint method is a mindful design choice and another effective strategy to increase the visual size of a room. This painting method can make a smaller room appear larger and improve the flow of your home, lightening your mood and relieving stress.

Match Your Ceilings and Walls

Many people opt for a white ceiling, a classic choice that maintains a uniform look throughout your home. White ceilings pair well with walls of the same shade, creating an open space and a relaxed feel. If you want to integrate more creativity into your interior, push the boundaries with a bold monochromatic look. Matching high gloss painted ceilings and walls will capture anyone’s attention and make your ceilings look even taller and farther away.

Experiment With Painted Furniture

While it’s easy to make a room look bigger with high gloss paint, you can also use paint to create stunning furniture. When your furniture appears customized for your home, any living space will look meticulously crafted. Try matching your furniture with the same color or finish as your walls. Alternatively, you can use a different color of high gloss paint for eye-catching pieces that contrast your interior’s sleek design.

Paint Doors With a High Gloss Finish

A high gloss finish turns doors into standout design elements. The reflective quality enhances natural light and creates a striking contrast against matte or sheen walls. Pairing dark hues with brass or nickel hardware adds a stunning polish. In spaces with limited natural light, a high gloss door can amplify what’s available and bounce light around to make the room feel larger and more open. Ensure the door’s color and finish complement the surrounding palette for a cohesive look.

Add Contrasting Colors and Color Blocking

Introducing contrasting colors and color blocking into your design is a bold yet sophisticated way to elevate a room’s aesthetic. When used thoughtfully, contrasting colors and complementary pairings can transform a room into a vibrant and stunning space. They illuminate areas you want to emphasize while adding visual interest to the overall design.

Pairing dark and muted tones can create a stark contrast and make architectural details pop with a contemporary touch and high-end feel. You can also combine soft and rich hues to create a playful yet elegant aesthetic.

Create a Glossy Gallery Wall

Using high gloss paint as a backdrop draws attention to the artwork and adds depth, light and a sense of luxury to the space. This technique works well in rooms with abundant natural light because gloss finishes mirror and diffuse the light to create a subtle shift in the wall’s appearance throughout the day. You can use rich notes for a dramatic and sophisticated backdrop, while neutral shades provide a minimalist base that lets the artwork take center stage.

Use High Gloss for Built-Ins

When finished with high gloss paint, built-ins can transform from practical storage solutions into striking focal points. The appearance of the built-ins will interact with the surrounding light, color and decor to create lustrous home interiors. The gloss finish can also draw attention to the craftsmanship and might help you develop additional living room ideas or design inspiration for the future.
