2025 marked a turning of the tide in interiors. Once all about calm, serene minimalism, now more value is placed on spaces that ooze with personality — without trying too hard, of course. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that the high gloss finishes once synonymous with the Art Deco era are back.
Believe it or not, your paint finishes matter. The same shade done in matte will look completely different in an emboldened gloss. "High‑gloss paint remains a favorite in interiors for good reason," says Iona Graham from UK paint brand Graham & Brown. "Its reflective surface bounces light around a room, making spaces feel brighter and more open; a simple trick with big impact."
