Living with high gloss cabinets

11 years ago

I am considering white high gloss cabinets with insertion of dark yellow ones. The picture in the 2015 ikea kitchen actually. But I am afraid that the dark yellow will act too much like a mirror, creating too much reflection of electrical lights and sun. And seeing myself with my morning hair before my coffee is not a sight To which I want to expose myself too much! Does anybody live with high gloss cabinets and has some ideas to share?

Can you go to an IKEA to see it in person? I'm sure you will see any reflections if there are any. I didn't have the high gloss cabinets in the kitchen, but in the bathroom. And I really liked them, however you have to be aware that if you wipe them down, to wipe them dry with a soft cloth after, else the water spots will show.
