You can think of matte finished fixtures as the opposite of shiny. Matte is diluted, suave, and sophisticated. It is subtle, yet attention-grabbing. And, matte finished fixtures add a flair that shiny fixtures (or, more appropriately, glossy fixtures) can't. Here at The House of Lights and Home Accents in Melbourne, we have a plethora of matte finished fixtures (as well as glossy) to meet your needs. We service both homeowners and business owners with the best lighting for their needs. If you stop by our 10,000 sq ft lighting showroom, you can see hundreds of our options. Below, we'll take a look at the best uses of matte finished fixtures. Stop by our Melbourne lighting store today!

Those Looking for a Minimalist Design

Matte finished fixtures tend to tone down other elements in your outdoor and indoor living space. Thus, if you have a bright, bold paint color and you want to ensure people aren't overwhelmed by the brightness, matte fixtures, such as kitchen sinks and countertops, or a matte chandelier can do wonders for cooling a space down. Matte finishes are great to use for those looking to craft a simplistic, minimalist look to their indoor or outdoor space.

Those Looking for a Classic, Timeless Look

Matte finishes offer a distinct and sleeker look than bold brass or bronze metals. Because many people are so accustomed to seeing brass or metal as fixtures, a matte finish truly stands out. However, one great reason for matte finishes, especially black matte finishes such as wall sconces or table lamps is that they truly cannot be outdated. They offer a classic look that will look good with any decor and will look good in 20 years. Thus, use matte finished fixtures for rooms you don't want to remodel any time soon.

Those Looking for a Cohesive Style

One of the best uses for matte finished fixtures is to use them as design elements in every room of your home to offer a cohesive, unifying look. Imagine walking into your kitchen with a matte faucet and sink, then walking into your living room with a matte standing lamp, and finally walking into your bedroom with matte wall sconces and a matte sink in your master bathroom. Odds are, you won't know exactly why your home feels beautiful, but you'll know it inside.

Those Looking to Be Different

If you think about the homes of your friends, family, and neighbors, how many have matte finishes? While matte finishes are trending, especially in kitchens and bathrooms, it is by no means universal. Think, too, of the commercial businesses you visit and their decor. Another great reason to invest in matte finishes is to be different from the norm. Not only is this eye-catching, but it's good for your focus, concentration, and creativity to have different sights.
