Gloss & Matt Kitchens in Surbiton, Surrey
Gloss & Matt Kitchens – A Choice of Stunning Finishes
The finish of your kitchen plays a key role in defining its overall look and feel. Whether you prefer the sleek, light-reflecting elegance of gloss kitchens or the sophisticated, soft texture of matt finishes, selecting the right surface can enhance your kitchen’s style and functionality. At Cotswood Kitchens, we offer a wide range of high-quality gloss and matt kitchen designs, allowing you to create a space that perfectly complements your home.
Gloss Kitchens – Sleek, Bright & Contemporary
Gloss kitchens are a perfect choice for those who love modern, light-enhancing designs. The high-shine finish reflects light, making the space feel brighter and more open—ideal for both compact and spacious kitchens. Available in a variety of colours, from crisp whites to deep greys and bold statement hues, gloss kitchens add a contemporary and polished aesthetic.
Pairing gloss cabinetry with stone or quartz worktops, minimalist handles, and integrated lighting enhances the sleek effect. For a truly modern look, handleless gloss kitchens provide a seamless and uninterrupted surface, creating a streamlined, high-end feel.
Matt Kitchens
Matt kitchens offer a more muted, understated elegance, providing a refined alternative to gloss finishes. With a smooth, soft-touch surface that absorbs rather than reflects light, matt cabinetry creates a calm and sophisticated environment, perfect for both modern and classic kitchen designs.
Highly durable and resistant to fingerprints, matt finishes are ideal for family homes and high-traffic kitchens. They are available in a wide range of colours, from neutral tones such as soft greys and warm beiges to richer shades like deep navy, forest green, and charcoal. Whether paired with wood accents for a natural look or metallic details for a contemporary edge, a matt kitchen provides effortless style and long-lasting appeal.
Choosing the Right Finish for Your Home
Both gloss and matt kitchens offer distinct advantages, and the choice often comes down to personal preference, lighting, and the overall aesthetic of your space. For those who love a high-shine, light-enhancing surface, gloss kitchens are an excellent option. For a sophisticated, low-maintenance, and fingerprint-resistant finish, matt kitchens provide a timeless appeal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of choosing a gloss kitchen design?
Gloss kitchens are known for their sleek, modern look and their ability to reflect light, making smaller spaces feel brighter and more spacious. The high-quality finish also ensures a luxury appearance with a smooth, shiny surface.
What types of gloss finishes are available for kitchens?
We offer a range of gloss finishes, including gloss lacquer, gloss glass, and high gloss laminate. These finishes come in various colours, from subtle whites to bold, vibrant shades, allowing you to create a kitchen that suits your style.
Can I mix different gloss finishes in my kitchen design?
Absolutely! Our designers can help you mix different gloss colours and finishes, such as combining gloss doors with contrasting materials like wood or matte finishes, to create a unique and personal design.
What is gloss glass, and why is it a great option for kitchens?
Gloss glass is a high-end, elegant material known for its mirror-like finish. It reflects maximum light and creates a bright, opulent atmosphere in your kitchen. The toughened safety glass is durable, scratch-resistant, and easy to maintain.
How durable are gloss laminate kitchen doors?
Gloss laminate doors are not only stylish but also incredibly durable. Our advanced manufacturing process ensures that the laminate is highly resistant to water, temperature, and bacteria, making it both easy to maintain and long-lasting.
Can I see the gloss kitchen options in person before deciding?
Yes, we invite you to book a free consultation at our Surbiton showroom. You'll be able to view a variety of gloss kitchen designs, get expert advice, and discuss your project with our friendly team.
What makes matt kitchen finishes so popular today?
Matt kitchens offer a sleek, understated look that many homeowners find timeless. Their non-reflective surfaces help mask fingerprints and minor marks, while also creating a sense of calm and refined luxury in any kitchen space.
Are matt kitchens more durable than gloss kitchens?
In general, matt finishes are highly resistant to scratches, fingerprints, and daily wear. They’re manufactured using advanced techniques like laser-fusion edging or vacuum-forming, resulting in robust doors that can handle the demands of everyday cooking and cleaning.
Can I mix matt finishes with other materials or styles?
Absolutely. Mixing matt doors with accents like wood grain, gloss panels, or stainless steel elements can create a striking visual contrast. This approach allows for a custom look that reflects your personal style while preserving the benefits of the matt finish.
How easy is it to clean and maintain a matt kitchen?
Matt kitchens are relatively low-maintenance. Spills and marks typically wipe away with a damp cloth, and the finish naturally camouflages small smudges. Regular gentle cleaning will help maintain the smooth texture and keep your kitchen looking fresh.
What is the difference between matt glass, matt lacquer, and matt laminate?
Matt glass provides a smooth, premium feel and often comes in elegant colour options. Matt lacquer laminate blends laminate and lacquer for a durable yet cost-effective finish, while matt laminate is typically the most budget-friendly and still offers a high-quality, modern look.
Do matt kitchens help brighten or dim a room?
Though matt surfaces don’t reflect light as strongly as gloss finishes, they can still brighten a space when paired with the right colours and lighting. Lighter matt shades, for instance, help soften a room’s ambiance while still delivering a warm, welcoming feel.
