With metallics warming up, mixing tones and new textures emerging, it was only time that the standard stainless steel appliance got an update! With a matte glow rather than a polished sheen, these new finishes are modern and fresh but still feel warm.

This matte black refrigerator from Whirlpool is part of their new “Ice collection” which also comes in a matte white that is a play on the old glossy white melamine fridges!

Adding pops of colour into stainless steel range hoods, the matte colour panels are an unexpected pop! With burgundy, cream and black, the play between the shine and soft matte finish is exquisite, and a great way to tie existing appliances in together.

Following the footsteps of the sleekest and newest luxury vehicles, this matte trend transcends multiple markets  with  sophisticated edge.
