Textured matt surfaces are all the rage

If you prefer a subtle and more natural finish than high gloss for your kitchen, then textured matt is the solution.

Increasingly popular with stone and concrete designs, textured matt provides a stylish look that can lend itself to homely or more urban settings.

The qualities of matt

Unlike high gloss surfaces, which show up smudges and fingerprints, matt offers a clean textured finish that hides marks. Any imperfections blend in to leave a smooth, soft appearance.

Matt has a warmer look than gloss and is perfect if you want to create a welcoming, family kitchen. Overall, matt provides a low maintenance surface that’s easier to keep clean than high gloss.

Harmonise material and textures

The beauty of a matt surface is that it can blend in with practically any other material.

Gloss finishes throughout a kitchen can sometimes create too much gleam with light reflected from every surface. However, if you intersperse high gloss cabinets with subtle, matt finish worktops and walls, you create a more relaxing environment.

Matt also works well with wood and metallic surfaces to create either urban chic in a contemporary design or homespun charm in a more traditional kitchen.

Matt blends with concrete and stone

Textured matt is understated and perfect for the current trend in concrete and stone design.

Concrete or stone offers a hardwearing look that fits in with the busy environment of a kitchen. To create a minimalist, industrial look, combine matt finish cabinets with stone or concrete worktops and flooring.

Textured matt can be accessorised with stainless steel. For a sharp, modern design, use stainless steel appliances to offset a concrete matt backdrop. The result is an ultra-chic, minimalist look.

Matt comes in virtually any colour

Unlike gloss, textured matt lends itself to any colour, giving you a much wider palette to choose from.

In a small kitchen, choose paler coloured textured matt cabinets. However, in a more spacious kitchen, you can experiment with bolder colours.

Dark grey or blue matt cabinets can be combined with softer grey or white worktops. Or try white or beige cabinets with darker stone effect textured work surfaces.

Pale woodgrain cabinets with stone-effect textured matt worktops blend in with rustic-themed kitchens. Or concrete cabinet fronts with sleek textured matt work surfaces lift a contemporary kitchen design.

Textured matt flooring

Textured matt flooring tends to be more unobtrusive than gloss and easier to clean. The textured, flat quality of matt means marks show up less.

Concrete-look textured matt flooring is practical, hardwearing and, most importantly in a busy family kitchen, it’s easy to maintain. It also provides a low key, natural feel.

Alternatively, stone-look flooring looks fantastic in a textured matt finish that highlights the pattern and smoothness of stone.
