If you’re looking for a wow-factor finish to your kitchen, you can’t get much better than the high gloss finish. High gloss is definitely one of the more defining finishes that a person can choose, and really works well with a modern and contemporary style kitchen. But how else can you feature high gloss in your kitchen and what appliances work best with the look?
No matter what colour scheme you’ve opted for, Corian is a great match for a gloss finish kitchen. The natural shine and smooth finish keep the trend of a seamless, clean and efficient kitchen space while minimising maintenance of your final design. Corian is often used to enhance and personalise your kitchen space as it can be molded and shaped to match the straight or curved lines in your kitchen – so if you want unique cupboards and worktops, or want to integrate a personalised feature, always opt for Corian.
Brushed steel offers a fantastic contrast to high gloss furnishings while completing the contemporary theme. The colder, smoother textures of brushed steel appliances still catch the light, but add a bit of depth to your kitchen too.
Appliances such as fridges and ovens can also be integrated into the wall paneling, and brushed steel finishes can be found in many appliances by Neff. You could also opt for brushed steel taps and light fittings for a coherent look.
The induction hob offers another opportunity to use brushed steel. A sleek, stylish angled Neff extractor fan adds also contrast to the vertical lines achieved with paneling and the horizontal lines created by worktops and islands.
While high gloss looks great, texture is important too, giving your home a warmer, less clinical look. You could either opt for an entirely different texture, such as wood, to pair with your high gloss finish, and use for your table or breakfast bar, or opt for a textured focal point – for example a textured panel splashback.
It’s easy to underestimate the power of flooring on the overall look and feel of your kitchen. Ceramic tiles, slate flooring and wooden flooring all offer great contrasts and depth to high gloss finishes. If you’ve already opted for non-gloss appliances and furnishings, you could go high gloss with your floor, using laminate or vinyl.
