Choosing the Right Paint Finish for Your Kitchen Cabinets
Share
When it comes to your kitchen, every detail counts — and that includes the finish on your cabinets. The paint finish you choose affects not just the look but also how well it wears over time. Here’s what you need to know to pick the perfect finish for your kitchen lifestyle.
Types of Paint Finishes
There are three main types of paint finishes commonly used for kitchen cabinets:
- Matte: Soft and understated, matte finishes create a contemporary look and hide minor imperfections well.
- Satin: A balanced finish that’s slightly reflective and easier to clean — a popular choice for busy kitchens.
- Gloss: High-sheen and modern, gloss finishes bounce light around the room and make a striking statement.
What’s Right for Your Kitchen?
Think about how you use your kitchen day-to-day. A high-traffic family kitchen might benefit from the easy-clean nature of satin or gloss. If you’re going for a calm, modern look, matte might be your perfect match.
