Navy is nice and white is classic. But there is staying power in black. Always chic. Forever sophisticated. (Enjoy your 15 minutes grey, but there will never be a new black.)
What we love about black, however, does change. For years we loved the high shine of a powdered coated finish. We lusted after a pristine polish.
Today it’s her subtle sister we’re after: matte black.
This year at KBIS matte black showed up in faucets, shower doors, countertops and vanities. It was every where we turned from sinks to surfaces.
Matte has made it’s way to lighting, hardware, even flatware. Cool and serene, with a touchable texture, we predict matte black will be the new standard.
