The High-Gloss Trend We’re Loving
There’s a new kind of shine making its way into thoughtfully designed homes. Rooted in heritage but refreshed for today, high-gloss finishes are reemerging as a sophisticated way to add depth and drama.
The design world is experiencing a gleaming revival. Lacquer and high-gloss finishes—once hallmarks of 1970s glamour and 1920s Art Deco elegance—are having a major moment in modern interiors.
Our latest Threshold x Studio McGee collection at Target features several standout pieces that nod to the lacquered look. Each piece is finished in a deep oxblood hue that feels more like a refined statement than a trend-driven accent. The coffee table grounds a living room with its sculptural oval shape. The console table adds drama and polish to an entryway or behind a sofa. And the side table is a versatile punctuation mark in any room, offering just the right hit of shine.
Whether styled solo or layered throughout the home, these pieces prove that when lacquer is done in a deeply considered palette, it doesn't just follow the trend—it elevates it.
