Unique Modern Kitchen Combination Alternating High Gloss and Matt Finish

Shown here is a unique modern kitchen detail we saw in Europe at Living Kitchen. The photo is not doing it justice, but what is very interesting here is how Warendorf mixed a high gloss and a matt finish in a modern kitchen design. It is a unique combination that creates a very artistic kind of look. Alternating high gloss panels with matt panels in the same cabinetry plays on the two textures in a spectacular way. Its beauty was hard to capture in the photos I took. If you look closely, you can see it better in the kitchen island photo below. You’ll see the reflection on the shiny high gloss panels and no reflection on the matt panels.

We are thinking about trying this in our Allmilmo displays in our Williston Park and Sag Harbor, NY showrooms. What do you think of this concept?

I have never seen this before. It looks interesting, but I would want to see it in person. In the photo, it looks very subtle. It certainly is different.
Wow! Fantastic kitchen island. The glossy finish and drawers look great!
Thanks Keith. We thought so too!
