Laque it very much: the reign of glossy.

If you've completely wiped from memory that period when the lacquered effect had so thoroughly saturated the market it made us sick, congratulations. Your relativism makes you permeable to one of the most thunderous design comebacks around. Because the lacquered finish is back — and it's back with a bang, bringing its accomplices along for the ride: glossy, varnished, and mirror-like surfaces. Together, they orchestrate the glossy surface trend — 0% subtle and 100% yummy. Think bold shades (cognac, wine-dark red, deep green), high-shine veneers, and reflective finishes all around. Fair warning: to pull it off without going under, play the purity card as a counterweight. A few carefully chosen pieces in the theme, clean lines all around, and just the right amount of minimalism to keep the balance. And if you do it right — you'll laque it very much.
