Furniture manufacturers offer a wide range of materials for kitchen units, the main decoration of which is the facade.
Doors, as we know, can be of any shape, size and color, but it is important whether they are glossy or matte.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told us which facade is best for the kitchen.
Choosing a matte facade
An option worthy of attention, since the matte surface better conveys color, shades and fits into any interior and style without problems.
Matte surfaces are easier to care for; scratches, stains and other traces of cleaning are less visible on them.
And the matte surface does not glare, which is important when choosing lighting.
Flaws
A significant drawback is that it is not a good option for a cramped and gloomy kitchen.
As for stains, greasy stains will shine very well on a matte surface, and dust will also be very visible.
Glossy facades
A great option for a dark and cramped kitchen. Reflects light and at the same time visually expands the space.
Dust and oil film are less noticeable on a shiny surface. And a shiny kitchen always looks richer.
Flaws
The surface will be left with fingerprints, traces of detergents, soap stains, scratches, chips and damage.
Not suitable for every style, but best suited for high-tech.
Conclusion
When choosing a kitchen set, you need to consider the lighting and dimensions of the room. The cost of the material depends not so much on the effect as on the coating.
It can be enamel, acrylic, matte varnish or plastic.
When it comes to cleaning, precautions must be taken on any surface.
