When designing a kitchen, cabinet finishes play a crucial role in setting the tone and style of the space. Among the many options available, gloss and matte cabinet doors stand out as two of the most popular choices, each offering unique aesthetics and practical benefits.

Options include high gloss finishes and standard or matte sheens, as well as textured or flat surfaces.
Pros:
Cons:
A gloss finish may not be the best option for cabinet doors exposed to direct sunlight. The reflective surface can act like a mirror, creating glare and visual discomfort. For sunlit areas, matte finishes provide a more practical and comfortable choice.
Pros:
Cons:
Neutral tones like white, black, gray, beige and blue dominate the market for both finishes, offering versatility and timeless appeal. Deep hues such as navy and forest green are gaining traction in matte finishes for a dramatic look, while gloss finishes often feature bold, high-contrast shades like black or bright red to emphasize their reflective quality.
