With busy family schedules, a homeowner’s time may be limited. A quick room update can be accomplished by adding color and shine to no more than the trim and doors. Highlight these areas with semi-gloss or gloss paint in a complementary hue to the wall color. Today’s glossy finishes are not only attractive they also provide long-lasting durability especially in high traffic and often used areas. For instance, when high sheen paint is applied to doors and trim, handprints and smudge marks are easy to wipe clean.

When used on ceilings or crown moldings, gloss finishes provide a reflective surface that enhances lighting. And, your windows and interior doors will have a new view just by painting the surrounding trim with a complementary color and gloss level. Any room can be quickly updated and refreshed by merely changing the paint sheen.

Help your walls become a centerpiece and allow baseboards, crown moldings and other trim work to provide that glossy frame that redefines your home.
