Matt kitchen FAQs
What style of kitchen best suits a matt finish?
Matt kitchens are a popular choice for homeowners looking for a refined finish that works across a range of kitchen styles. From modern handleless kitchens with clean lines to more traditional designs with detailed cabinetry, matt kitchen doors can be tailored to suit your home.
Is a matt kitchen easy to maintain?
The smooth, low-sheen surfaces of matt kitchens are easy to care for with simple cleaning routines, making them a practical choice for busy kitchens. Their lack of shine helps conceal fingerprints, smudges and minor marks, so everyday use has less visible impact on the surface.
At Magnet, our kitchen doors are tested to help ensure they stand up to everyday challenges, including common household stains, so you can enjoy a kitchen designed for daily life.
Is a matt kitchen a popular choice for modern homes?
Matt kitchens continue to be a popular choice thanks to their understated appearance and ability to complement a wide range of kitchen designs. Their smooth finish works particularly well with simple cabinetry, statement colours and carefully selected details.
What colours, cabinets and worktops work well with a matt kitchen?
Matt kitchen doors complement a variety of styles. Pair colours such as Chalk Blush, Limestone or Pebble Path with lighter worktops for a subtle, refined look, or choose richer tones like Carrington Blue, Voyage Blue or Metallic Midnight for a more striking design.
Matt finishes also work particularly well with different cabinet styles, from simple, handleless kitchens to classic Shaker designs. Combine matt cabinetry with timber-inspired worktops, stone-effect surfaces or textured finishes to add contrast and bring your chosen look together.

Yes. Visit a Magnet showroom to explore different colours, materials and finishes, or speak with a Magnet designer who can guide you through the options available for your home.

What is the difference between a matt and gloss kitchen?
The main difference between matt and gloss is the finish of the kitchen doors. Matt kitchens have a smooth, low-reflective surface that creates a more subtle appearance, while gloss kitchens have a reflective finish that helps bounce light around the room.
Both finishes offer different design possibilities, so the right choice depends on the style you want to achieve, your space and how you want your kitchen to work for you.
Do matt kitchen cupboards mark easily?
Like any kitchen finish, matt kitchen cupboards can require regular cleaning to keep them looking their best, but choosing a quality matt finish can help reduce the appearance of everyday marks and fingerprints.
With the right care and simple cleaning routine, matt kitchen doors can continue to look their best for years to come.
