Kitchen, bathroom or laundry cabinet finishes are one of the biggest style elements of your décor. It is often asked whether gloss or matt is better, as the finish can change the whole look of your room and give it a unique touch. Whether you are renovating your kitchen, respraying your laundry cabinets or you want to freshen up your dated bathroom vanity, there are many pros and cons of a gloss or matt cabinet finish. Each style has a dramatically different look.
Gloss Finish
High-gloss cabinet finishes work best in a room with a contemporary décor style and are available in a wide range of colours in polyurethane or lacquer. If you are looking to make your room appear larger, a gloss finish can open up your space, as it’s shiny surface reflects lots of light. High-gloss finishes are easiest to clean and great for a white kitchen with flat cabinet fronts but show fingerprints and smudges easily.
Another point to consider when choosing a gloss finish is that certain colours can look slightly different in different settings and lighting, natural and artificial. Available in a number of materials and colours, a gloss finish allows you to further personalise your room.
Matt Finish
A matt kitchen offers a muted appearance rather than shiny and offers a sophisticated elegant style. Matt cabinet finishes suit a more traditional and country style kitchen but can still equally suit a contemporary look. A matt finish will not show any fingerprints or scratches and covers imperfections – a perfect low-maintenance surface.
Take a look at your surrounding bench tops, splashback, flooring and furniture and choose a cabinet finish, which complements your room and best suits your budget, taste and lifestyle.
The key to getting a visually stunning cabinet finish in either style is to choose a quality and professional team to complete your custom finishes.
