Matte finishes create a subtle, modern appearance, ideal for minimalist designs, while glossy surfaces offer a sleek, reflective look that enhances light in the space. Textured finishes, like wood grain or stone, add depth and a natural touch, bringing character to the room. Satin or semi-matte finishes balance elegance and practicality, providing a stylish, versatile surface that suits both contemporary and traditional kitchens.
