In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Manish Arora, VP-Furniture Solutions at REHAU SOA, suggested some affordable tips for updating your home, featuring innovative materials that offer both beauty and functionality -

1. Including High-Gloss Finishes for a Modern Touch

One of the easiest ways to modernise your space is by including high-gloss finishes. These surfaces reflect light beautifully, making rooms appear brighter and more spacious. As a homeowner, you can decide upon updating your kitchen cabinets or bathroom vanities with high-gloss panels. These panels are not only visually striking but also highly durable and easy to clean, making them a practical choice for busy households. Available in a wide range of vibrant colours, they allow you to add a bold statement or a subtle touch of elegance to your interiors.

2. Adding Matte Finish for Sophistication

For those who prefer a more understated look, matte surfaces can add a touch of sophistication to any room. Matte panels offer a smooth, velvety finish that exudes elegance. They are also resistant to fingerprints and smudges, making them ideal for areas like living rooms and bedrooms where you want to maintain a clean and polished appearance. The unique texture of matte surfaces provides a tactile experience, enhancing the overall ambiance of your space.

3. Glass-Like Finishes for a Sleek, Contemporary Look

Well, you can’t go wrong with the glass effect. These finishes are another excellent option for refreshing your home interiors. These panels offer the sleek, reflective quality of glass without the fragility. They are perfect for applications such as kitchen backsplashes, cabinet doors, and wall panels. The versatility of these panels allows you to create a range of looks, from minimalist to luxurious, depending on your design preferences. Their durability and ease of maintenance make them a practical choice for high-traffic areas, ensuring your home remains stylish and functional.

4. Create Visual Interest with Textured Panels

Adding textured panels into your design can add depth and character to your interiors. These panels are available in various patterns and finishes, allowing you to create a unique focal point in any room. Whether you use them for accent walls, cabinet fronts, or furniture pieces, textured panels bring a tactile element to your space that enhances its visual appeal. Also, they can mimic the look of natural materials like wood or stone, providing a cost-effective alternative that doesn't compromise on aesthetics.
