White high gloss cabinets

12 years ago

Do you think white high gloss kitchen cabinets would suit an old 1940's home or is it too sleek and should only be used in modern homes?

I think something else might be better, but it certainly is done.

Use pearl finish or a Semi Gloss , high gloss had the tendency to show imperfections (if they have a ding or two). I would also get someone to spray them for you, it can cost a little more but the finish looks amazing - no roller marks, no brush marks and no mess!

HI, can you add a photo in the comments of your existing kitchen? There could be a few touches you add that conjure up the 1940s style while still sticking to the gloss finish overall...

Hi Luke I've added some pics of my current kitchen.
I love that st Kilda apartment kitchen.
I'm a big fan of white and timber.
I'd love to hear your ideas...
