The quick Scoop

High gloss lacquer is the finish designers keep reaching for, in saturated colors that look lit from within. It works best as one bold moment, set against wood, linen or velvet. Here is why it is trending, five TOV lacquer pieces worth knowing, and how to style one without making your room look like a showroom.

The Shine Is Back, and It Brought Color

Matte had a long run. Soft, chalky, quiet. Now the pendulum is swinging, and it is swinging glossy.

High gloss lacquer showed up on tables, chairs and cabinet fronts at Salone del Mobile this year, and designers are leaning into deep, saturated shades like burgundy and olive green. This is not the stiff, cold gloss of the past. It is warmer, richer and a lot more fun.

The best part? You do not need a whole room of it. One lacquer piece does the job of five accessories: it catches the light, adds color and makes everything around it look more considered. We have a lineup that does exactly that.

Why Lacquer Works Right Now

Color With Depth

A lacquered surface reflects light, so color looks richer and almost jewel-like. A deep green console or a burgundy dining table does not just sit there. It glows.

Contrast Is the Whole Point

Gloss looks best next to something with texture. Think wood grain, linen, velvet or a woven rug. The smooth shine makes the texture look better, and the texture keeps the shine from feeling cold.

Polished, but Livable

Lacquer reads sleek without feeling precious. Our lacquer pieces are finished to be scratch resistant, which means they are made to be used, not just admired from across the room.

Meet the Lacquer Lineup

Five pieces, from a dining table that seats a crowd to a console that slips into a hallway. Pick the one that fits your room.

Baila 50" Glossy Lacquer Console Table

New Arrival

Sculptural and unapologetically modern. A rounded tabletop sits on oversized tapered legs, and the high gloss finish gives it an almost liquid shine. At 14" deep it has a slim profile, so it works in an entryway, down a hallway or behind a sofa without crowding the room. Shown in cream.

Mira 50" High Gloss Console Table

Best Seller

Memphis-inspired retro energy in deep green or cream, with a monochromatic finish from top to legs. Two soft close drawers keep keys and mail out of sight.

  • Best for the Statement-Maker who wants color without compromise.

Adeline 95" Lacquer Rectangular Dining Table

Statement Length

Hollywood glam, built for dinner parties. A glossy lacquer top in white or black sits on a sculptural gold X base with brass corner caps. It seats six and pairs beautifully with velvet dining chairs.

  • Best for anyone who wants the table to be the main event.

Elora Lacquer Dining Table (47" Round and 79" Oval)

Best for Smaller Spaces

Crisp white or bold blue lacquer on a structural base. The 47" round is compact enough for smaller dining areas, while the 79" oval seats six to eight and is easy to clean. Same finish, two sizes, so you can match it to your room.

Zola 94.5" Lacquer Oval Dining Table

Best for Big Gatherings

Sleek black lacquer, or go bolder with burgundy. It seats up to ten, which makes it the pick for holiday dinners and anyone who hosts like it is a sport.

Style It Without Overdoing It

Give It the Spotlight

One lacquer piece per room is the sweet spot. A room full of gloss starts to feel like a hall of mirrors. A single glossy table or console reads as a deliberate choice.

Pair It With Something Tactile

Set a green lacquer console against a linen curtain. Put a lacquer dining table on a woven rug with velvet chairs. The mix of smooth and soft is what makes the look feel collected.

Add a Metallic Accent

Gold and brass sit beautifully against high gloss. The Adeline already does this with its gold base and brass corner caps. At home, try a brass lamp or a gold-framed mirror above a lacquer console.

Go Tone on Tone for a Calmer Take

Not ready for burgundy? Cream lacquer in the Baila or the Mira keeps things soft while still catching the light. It is the quiet version of the trend, and it works especially well in a neutral room.

FAQs

Is lacquer furniture still in style?
Yes. Designers are embracing high gloss lacquer in rich colors, and many describe it as more timeless than trend-driven. The key is using it as a highlight, not the whole room.
Is lacquer furniture durable?
Our lacquer pieces are made with a high gloss, scratch resistant finish and a resilient lacquer coating. If a scratch does happen, TOV has a gloss lacquer touch up guide and a replacement paint kit.
What colors does TOV lacquer furniture come in?
Right now: cream, deep green, white, black, blue and burgundy, depending on the piece. Check each product page for the colors available.
Will lacquer work in a small space?
Absolutely. The 47" Elora round dining table is designed for compact dining areas, and the Baila console is only 14" deep, so it fits narrow entryways and hallways.
What does lacquer pair well with?
Texture. Wood, linen, velvet and woven materials all balance the shine. Metallic finishes like gold and brass work well too.
How do I care for a lacquer finish?
Start with TOV's furniture care guide for cleaning tips by material, and use the gloss lacquer touch up guide if you need to repair a scratch.
