I need to chose today...
I want white, I love the look of gloss but it's quite a bit more expensive and we're on a budget. I plan to pair the white with a matt concrete grey cabinet. Slightly wooden look to it.

What do you all think?

I personally dont like gloss. It's more trendy and it will get fingerprinty.

I just ordered my kitchen. My designer said gloss is impractical and going out of style. I got matte.

Thanks. What colours did you chose?
I definitely want white larders and upper cupboards, but want either grey or navy bott cupboards with a white/grey marble worktop.

I have matte cabinets. They get fingerprints daily but it’s not as obvious as it would be if they were shiny. With shiny, even a droplet of water that wasn’t wiped up in time is noticeable. If your cabinets are a light color then they will bring plenty of brightness into the kitchen without the maintenance of white shiny. If you’re really dreaming of shiny cabinets, a better place to do it is in a guest room, bedroom or office

My kitchen is 3 years old. I have glossy turquoise cabinets and I love them. Not a single crack.

I've chosen a white matt to go with a darker colour (also matt) cabinet at the bottom and around the Island. My worktops are going to be a white with marble running through it.

Thanks for your help everyone.
