The front door is a great place to experiment with higher sheen levels. Luxe Blue in a high-gloss finish creates a mirror-like surface that looks incredibly expensive and traditional, echoing the grand entryways of London or New York.

Choosing Luxe Blue for a main living area is a commitment to timelessness. It avoids the trend-cycle fatigue of brighter hues, offering a sophisticated neutrality that can be reimagined every few years simply by swapping out textiles or accent pillows. It is the ultimate foundation for an evolving home.
