Most interior painting contractors recommend using matte paint on your walls, but high-gloss enamel can give your living space a unique pop. These beautiful finishes brighten living spaces and can create some incredible dramatic effects. Below are a few benefits of using high-gloss enamel paint in your rooms or on an accent wall.

3 Uses for High-Gloss Paint in Your Home

1. Create a Sense of Space

Using high-gloss paint on the ceiling creates a large, reflective surface that can brighten even the darkest rooms. A simple coat of glossy paint also reflects the room below, making the space seem larger and roomier.

White is a safe option, but you may choose a darker color if you prefer a bold color palette. Your interior painting contractor can help you select the right shade to give your room the dramatic pop you’re looking for.

2. Give Your Home an Upscale Feel

Giving your interior doors a high-gloss finish will make your house feel more expensive and upscale. Dark brown or black doors and window frames contrast beautifully with matte white walls, especially if you like a modern, minimalistic look.

3. Make an Accent Wall

A gloss accent wall can reflect enough light to brighten your house and create a unique visual appeal. A bold color can also make a wall into the focal point of the room, which can guide all your other design decisions. If you like a bold approach, consider painting a stripe or other design in high-gloss paint. You might also just paint a chimney, built-in bookcases, or other architectural features, drawing attention to the unique elements of your home.
