While semi-gloss finishes have enjoyed popularity in recent years, there’s a growing trend towards low-sheen finishes that offer a more refined and understated look. Lower sheen finishes, particularly matte finishes, are rapidly becoming the industry standard for kitchens due to their versatility and their ability to foster a natural, relaxed, and inviting atmosphere. Unlike their glossier counterparts, matte finishes provide a softer, more muted appearance that aligns with contemporary design trends.
The image to the right highlights the subtle yet significant difference between our satin (28) sheen on the top and matte (10) sheen on the bottom, demonstrating how each finish interacts with light and texture.
The matte finish offered by Candlelight has several key advantages for kitchen cabinets:
- Forgiving Nature: Lower sheen finishes are more resistant to fingerprints, smudges, and marks, making them ideal for high-traffic areas like kitchens, especially on natural woods and lighter colors.
- Enhanced Beauty: A lower sheen enhances the natural beauty of hardwood grain and texture while maintaining a durable, low-maintenance surface. This finish reflects the latest trends in furniture and flooring, offering both aesthetics and practicality.
- Warm Ambiance: Our matte finish softens light reflection, contributing to a warmer, more inviting atmosphere. This trend towards wood stains and neutral colors supports a cohesive and personalized kitchen design that feels both stylish and comfortable.
