WHEN THINKING ABOUT TEXTURES in a room, don’t overlook the element of shine. The reflective, light-catching finish of a glossy lacquered table or tray, a luminous finish on walls, or a gleaming lamp can help a room feel a little brighter and more animated. Lacquered and enameled finishes make colors look richer, give neutrals more depth, and lend any space a splash of oomph. So don’t be afraid to go for it with these chic, editor-approved picks—and find even more inspiration in our guide to high-gloss rooms.
