As interior design evolves in 2025, two acrylic finishes dominate the conversation: soft matte and high-gloss. Each offers a unique aesthetic and functional advantage, depending on your project—whether it’s a sleek modular kitchen, a statement wardrobe, or a textured feature wall. Let’s break down which finish suits your design vision and lifestyle needs.

1. Soft Matte Acrylic: Calm, Clean & Fingerprint-Free

• Minimalist Mood: Soft matte finishes offer a velvety, understated elegance that complements minimalist, contemporary, and Scandinavian designs.
• Perfect for Busy Spaces: Matte surfaces disguise fingerprints and smudges—ideal for kitchens, kids’ wardrobes, or high-traffic areas.
• Elegant Neutrals: Trending shades like charcoal, sage, and beige create cozy yet modern appeal.

When to Choose Matte:

• You want a warm, serene aesthetic
• You need low-maintenance finishes
• You’re designing compact or family-focused interiors

2. High-Gloss Acrylic: Shine, Depth & Spaciousness

• Luxury Finish: High-gloss acrylic delivers mirror-like brilliance that instantly elevates a space.
• Light Amplification: Reflective surfaces create the illusion of larger, brighter rooms—ideal for small kitchens or powder rooms.
• Bold Statement Shades: Deep hues like navy, burgundy, and jewel tones look striking in gloss.

When to Choose Gloss:

• You want a high-impact, polished aesthetic
• You’re working with limited natural light
• You appreciate easy-to-clean, smooth surfaces

3. Consider Thickness & Weight: 1.5 mm vs 2 mm

Beyond finish, the thickness of acrylic laminates plays a key role. Avico offers both 1.5 mm and 2 mm options, giving you flexibility:

• 1.5 mm: Great for standard cabinetry, wardrobes—offers high gloss or matte sheen with ease of use.
• 2 mm: A heavier-duty option for high-traffic cabinets, kitchen doors, or even wall accents that require extra robustness and edge stability.

4. Mix & Match for Best Effect

• Glossy upper cabinets + matte base units — brightens while grounding the design
• Glossy fluted panels for wardrobe doors — adds light-play textures
• Contrast matte island + glossy cabinets — creates depth and visual interest

5. Maintenance Tips to Preserve Your Finish

• Gloss: Use microfibre cloths and mild detergent. Avoid polishes—fresh shine comes from regular gentle wiping.
• Matte: Light soap-water is enough. Avoid abrasives that could increase sheen.
• Both: Store with protective film until installation—Avico includes this with every sheet for flawless delivery.
