Classic Colonial homes also make use of high gloss paint, a design choice that not only changes the overall aesthetic of a room but also contributes to the durability of its surfaces. The reflective nature of high gloss paint creates a luxurious sheen, creating a visually stunning effect that compliments the detailed molding and trim. This style choice not only brightens up spaces but also amplifies the architectural features of the home.
High gloss paint also has its practical purposes: it’s quite a bit easier to clean due to its durability, and for the same reason, has a longer lasting effect than semi gloss or matte finishes.
Not only for its practical purposes, high gloss paint is also stylistically unique in that it creates a shiny, reflective surface. High gloss paint is extremely useful for accent walls or on cabinetry, as it adds an extra level of depth with the contrast it can create alongside a different finish, even of the same color.
