I am lusting after glossy reflective surfaces at the moment. It feels like an antidote to the dull overcast weather and a move away from the “make do and mend” interiors that have cornered so much attention of recent years. Don’t get me wrong still love concrete (!) and a little bit of rustic industrial but loving the glamour of gloss too.
This Mac advert kinda sums it up really – how totally drool worthy?
It seems to work best with strong saturated colour. Would you be brave enough to do this in a room?
I don’t think it works as well with neutral walls (or maybe its that rug – like it, but not here in this setting) whereas the strong colour give instant sex appeal and screams glamour.
I really like this cobalt colour (below) with the pops of yellow. Not so keen on the ceiling colour though or the rug.

I've never considered glossy walls. Thanks for making me think of this option!!
I like them, but perhaps they can be too shiny? They look better in dark colours. MAC have some brilliant imagery don't they?
