Trend Alert: Super Matte Surfaces
Are super matte surfaces here to knock high-gloss off its perch? With its ability to create a sense of ease and sophistication through its smooth finish, matte can be used for anything from small accents to whole-room finishes.
Some might think of matte finishes as boring, but the truth is they’re the perfect form for emphasizing an object. There’s nothing to distract or draw the eye away — making it a stand out, stand alone surface.
Despite being a feature, matte isn’t loud or ornate. This allows the surface to have a humble, minimalistic grace that speaks for itself.
If you’re starting to think that the matte trend is for you — let’s have a look at three of the most popular products available.
