Matt decors from Architype

Matt finishes have been very sought-after in interior design for years. Their softness and lack of reflected highlights make interiors more homely and harmonious. In contrast to glossy surfaces, matt decors do not dominate the space, but subtly emphasise its qualities. The matt decors available in our range provide a number of advantages, which we are presenting in today's article.

Matt decors combine modern sophistication with functionality, making them well-suited for everyday use. What distinguishes them?

1. Their advantage is that they do not reflect light, resulting in a more balanced effect in rooms with lots of natural light or strong lighting. This makes the space feel peaceful and the overall effect more subdued - ideal for resting, relaxing or working in comfort.
2. Matt decors fit perfectly into current design trends. If you favour interiors that are elegant at the same time, yet without unnecessary glamour, these are the finishes you need to create a modern yet subtle look of your space. Matt fits perfectly with contemporary interior styles, from minimalist to industrial designs.
3. If you value simplicity and serenity in your décor, matt finishes will prove to be a superb choice. These decors do not overpower or dominate a space, but complement it discreetly. They create an atmosphere of harmony and balanced aesthetics - you don't have to worry about materials ‘shining too much’ or reflecting light excessively.
4. Fingerprints, smudges or minor scratches are less visible on matt decors. In kitchens, bathrooms and on furniture fronts, matt surfaces maintain an aesthetically pleasing appearance regardless of how intensively they are used.

5. To clean them, all you need is a soft cloth and a mild detergent, indicating that neither special measures nor great effort are required to keep them in impeccable condition. It's a practicality you'll appreciate every day, especially in intensively used spaces where cleanliness is important.

Such a finish is versatile, but there are certain spaces in which it will be particularly beneficial and useful. 

The kitchen - this is a room that requires exceptionally durable materials and ease of cleaning. Matt countertops, kitchen islands and cabinet fronts are very practical - no fingerprints, smudges or stains can be seen on their surface, plus they fit perfectly into minimalist and industrial kitchen arrangements.

Bathroom - the distinctive conditions in this room create the risk of streaks, runs, soap scum or limescale deposits. Matt materials mask such imperfections well.

The living room and bedroom - these are places that particularly value cosiness and tranquillity. Matt textures make the interior feel more harmonious and balanced - with no excessive flash or reflections that could distract or tire the eye. Such decors also combine well with lighting - creating an atmosphere ideal for evening relaxation.
