High-Gloss vs Matte Laminates: What Hyderabad Designers Are Choosing in 2025
If you visit any new interior project in Hyderabad — from a plush apartment in Jubilee Hills to a modular kitchen in Kondapur — you’ll see one design debate playing out everywhere: high-gloss or matte?
Both finishes dominate the 2025 laminate trend charts, but each creates a completely different mood and experience.
Let’s break down what’s working best for Hyderabad interiors this year — and where each finish shines.
The Case for High-Gloss Laminates
High-gloss laminates reflect light beautifully, adding a sense of space and luxury to interiors. They make compact kitchens and wardrobes look larger and more vibrant — which is why designers in Gachibowli, Nanakramguda, and Manikonda use them extensively in modern homes.
Khidki Acrylic Laminates deliver that ultra-gloss, mirror-like finish that instantly elevates a space. Each sheet is:
-
Smooth, reflective, and available in rich colors
-
Resistant to stains, scratches, and fading
-
Perfect for kitchens, reception counters, and wardrobe shutters
Paired with underlighting or LED strips, glossy laminates give a dramatic, high-end finish that homeowners love.
The Subtle Sophistication of Matte Finishes
While gloss wins on visual drama, matte laminates are winning over designers who prefer minimalism and warmth.
They diffuse light softly, hide fingerprints, and bring a calm, sophisticated character to interiors.
Khidki Saket 1mm Decorative Laminates in suede and matte textures are perfect for:
-
Bedrooms and workspaces where soft finishes feel natural
-
Living rooms and study areas that need a warm, tactile feel
-
Minimalist kitchens designed around neutral tones
Matte finishes are also a hit among Hyderabad’s commercial spaces, especially where durability and easy maintenance matter more than high shine.
Combining Both for Balance
Hyderabad’s top designers are now mixing both finishes within the same project to balance reflection and restraint:
-
Kitchens: High-gloss acrylic for upper cabinets, matte for lower units
-
Wardrobes: Matte for exterior shutters, glossy accents for handles or center panels
-
Offices and showrooms: Matte desktops with glossy wall highlights for depth and light play
Pair Khidki Acrylic Laminates with Khidki Saket Matte Laminates to create contrast that feels refined yet modern.
Designed for Hyderabad’s Climate and Workload
Heat and humidity can quickly dull inferior laminates, but Khidki’s high-pressure manufacturing process ensures both gloss and matte finishes stay intact for years.
Every sheet is scratch, stain, and heat resistant, built for both residential and commercial interiors.
And with 4-hour delivery across Hyderabad, designers and contractors can keep projects on schedule without waiting for materials.
The Final Word
If you want light, drama, and impact — go high-gloss.
If you want calm, elegance, and subtle texture — go matte.
Or better yet, combine both to achieve depth and character in your interiors.
