Just moved to Design Dilemmas. Good luck!!

We meet again! Have used both with no problem - but watch out for nail varnish! It tends to stain and is quite difficult to remove. Talking about dry painted nails.

I don't have kids, but I think high gloss is dead easy and low maintenance. I thought having integrated handles would cause loads of finger marks, but it's fine. I chose cream, coz I wanted a warmer look and it looks so lovely against the oak work top, but my mother Inlaw chose white and thinks it's a nightmare to keep clean!? I don't think it'd be easy to scratch the doors.

What did you decide? We are contemplating the same question.

High gloss can get scratched. If its in a light bright colour it's not as noticeable. You could go for a minimal look with a slightly "flatter" finish which would be easier to keep. Good luck

I have white high gloss in a thermofoil finish - easy to clean no scratches

IKEA has come a long way. I like their modern look cabinets. They come in color too. The gray is amazing.

I finally did a total redo of our kitchen and did use IKEA's high gloss cabinets in Ivory. I absolutely love them. They are easy to clean. My concern was day to day scratches with rings, cooking equipment, etc. but so far, after 1 1/2 years, they are just as nice as when they were installed. I'm hoping that IKEA will keep this cabinet style around for a real long time, just in case I might need to replace a drawer front or side panel

Thanks! Your kitchen looks really nice!

Thanks! A photo of the other side...used Tabarka tile on wall to ceiling.
