All lacquered up

I think I’ve become obsessed with any image that slightly resembles my new business cards. I loved seeing this shot below with that jaw dropping amazing shade of green!  It took me a couple of seconds, but then I realized that the walls had an amazing gloss and knew it had been lacquered! Perfection.

Forget about eggshell and satin finish I now want to get my hands on a wall, or two, or three, etc and paint them in high-gloss!

When you go with a bold paint color you are on your way to getting a dramatic room, but add the high-gloss and you hit the nail on the head.

I don’t normally go for a burgundy type color on walls, but I love them with the lacquer and the artwork, which helps break up all the dark color.

I love the way that light reflex off the wall. It add a touch of sparkle to a room without looking cheesy.

While the majority of images with lacquered walls  tend to be on the dark side you can always use it in with a light shade as well.

Overall the look of high-gloss just makes a room look simply glamourous!

So would you ever take the plunge and do it?

In searching online it looks like lacquering your walls is not really a DIY project. It should be done by a professional to get that amazing mirror like reflective quality.

You can also find lacquered wall coverings to get a similar look as well.
