The Power of Paint Color & Sheen

You don’t have to invest in a bevy of brand-new furnishings to create a maximalist look: Lean into distinct paint color and engaging sheen choices instead!

Creative paint color and sheen combinations make for statement-making spaces. Start with the colors from our maximalist palette to get your wheels turning, and consider a variety of matte, semi- and high-gloss sheens for added dimension on walls, trim and ceiling.
