Get Fancy: Add Drama, Depth, and Modern Elegance to Any Room
Metallic paint effects are having a well-deserved moment in interior design—and for good reason. These unique finishes introduce a striking, contemporary edge that instantly transforms walls and ceilings into reflective, light-catching surfaces full of dimension and intrigue.
Whether you’re styling a modern home or adding a touch of luxury to a traditional space, metallics offer versatility, sophistication, and undeniable visual impact.

What Makes Metallic Paint So Unique?
Unlike standard matte or satin paints, metallic finishes contain reflective particles—often mica or finely milled metal—that create a soft shimmer or bold sheen, depending on the application. This gives the surface a dynamic quality that changes with the light, making it appear different throughout the day.
Many metallic paints also feature a subtle two-tone effect, shifting colour slightly depending on the angle of light and viewing position. It’s this visual depth and movement that gives metallic walls their signature “wow” factor.
From Subtle Sheen to Bold Statements
One of the biggest advantages of metallic paint is its range of finishes. Here are a few of the paints we often use, often in a range of colours:
- Gimcyn: A metallic paint with an iridescent finish for a soft, shimmery finish.
- Marcopolo Luxury: A textured metallic paint from San Marco, a soft, iridescent finish, with a light sandy texture.
- Cadoro: A soft, smooth metallic paint that's much more subtle.
Where Metallic Paint Works Best
- Dining Rooms: Enhance evening ambiance with a warm metallic gold or copper.
- Bedrooms: Create a serene retreat with soft silvers or champagne tones.
- Hallways & Entrances: Make a bold first impression with rich, dark metallics or subtle shimmers.
- Ceilings: Reflect light and create visual interest, especially when paired with feature lighting.
The Perfect Blend of Modern and Timeless
Metallic paint finishes aren’t just a passing trend—they’re a long-term design choice that blends style with atmosphere. Whether you opt for a subtle shimmer or a more dramatic effect, metallics bring life to flat surfaces and help your space reflect your unique taste.
