"A lacquered surface can reflect light beautifully and make a space feel more polished and intentional, says Linda Hayslett, principal designer of LH.Designs Inc."
"In a small bathroom or kitchen backsplash, high-gloss tile reflects light beautifully. A simple shape in a soft color turns it into a subtle shimmer instead of a statement, explains Ariana Lovato, owner and principal designer at Honeycomb Home Design."
Design trends are subjective, and it's acceptable to appreciate decor choices labeled as tacky. Modern designers are subverting traditional conventions, showcasing that with creativity, tacky can become trendy. Glossy finishes, often seen as flashy, can enhance a space when done well. High-gloss tiles, while potentially overwhelming, can add subtle elegance in small areas. Wallpaper, despite its challenges, can transform a space dramatically, encouraging a departure from safe choices to more expressive designs.
