You\u2019re ready to grab a few gallons and finally get your project started. But when asked, \u201cWhich sheen would you like?\u201d you\u2019re thrown into a new cycle of exploration and research to determine the perfect finish for your soon-to-be perfect space.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nWhen choosing a sheen, I think about the effect I\u2019d like it to have on the rest of my space. The color and finish of a room can make a big impact on the overall feel of the space. Have you looked up recently? What color is your ceiling? Painting our ceilings, or the \u201cfifth wall,\u201d often get overlooked. Think about how it feels in a room with low, dark ceilings; the entire space seems smaller than it is \u2013 a less-than-ideal design situation. By adding color and shine to your ceiling, you can give the room a completely different look. When deciding to transform my own living room, I knew I wanted to make it feel more spacious. By painting the walls <a href=\"https:\/\/www.behr.com\/consumer\/ColorDetailView\/S370-2\">Feng Shui S370-2<\/a> and finishing the room with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.behr.com\/consumer\/ColorDetailView\/75\">Polar Bear 75<\/a> in high-gloss on the ceiling, it enabled the surface to reflect the natural light the room receives, making it feel even larger.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13870\" src=\"https:\/\/www.behr.com\/colorfullybehr\/wp-content\/uploads\/TCStudios_Cabinetry_Bookcase_DET2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"531\" height=\"800\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14129 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.behr.com\/colorfullybehr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Trim-Sheen-detail.jpg\" alt=\"A sitting area with wall and trim painted in a dark gray color.

When paired with a bold color, a high-gloss finish can make furniture or trim pop and create an interesting focal point in a space. Using high-gloss finish in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.behr.com\/consumer\/ColorDetailView\/S530-6\">Extreme S530-6<\/a>&nbsp;on the trim in this&nbsp;living&nbsp;room&nbsp;draws your eyes to the large windows, letting in light that bounces around the entire space. And because painting the same color in two different sheens adds a subtle elegance to any project, the walls are the same color in matte. This ties the entire space together without the mundane feeling that a monochrome room can sometimes create.<br \/>\nSheens are often left out of the paint conversation, leaving some of us confused about which one goes with which project.
