SieMatic lacquered kitchens

Lacquer is one of the most commonly used finishes in the SieMatic collection. Thanks to the wide selection of colors, gloss levels, and finishes, lacquer fits into a variety of kitchen designs, from minimalist concepts to more distinctive interiors. Within the SieMatic material concept, lacquer is often combined with wood veneer, stone, ceramic, and metal. This results in designs where color, material, and form are carefully coordinated.

On this page, you can learn about the lacquer systems SieMatic offers, the differences between the finishes, and the options available in terms of color, maintenance, and daily use.

Why choose a lacquered finish?

A lacquered finish offers a sleek and refined surface with a high degree of design freedom. Lacquer makes it possible to precisely match colors to the rest of the interior and gives cabinet fronts a calm, uniform appearance. Depending on the chosen finish, lacquer can be subtly understated or play a defining role in the design. Matte finishes create a subdued look, while high-gloss lacquer reflects light and can add extra depth to a room. In addition, lacquer offers many possibilities for combining different materials. For example, lacquered fronts are often combined with wood veneer, natural stone, ceramic, or metal to create contrast and cohesion within the design.

What makes SimiLaque Plus special?

SimiLaque Plus holds a special place within the SieMatic collection. The surface combines a soft, matte appearance with properties designed for everyday use.

In addition to cabinet fronts, SimiLaque Plus can also be used on countertops and niche cladding. This allows different elements of the kitchen to be finished in the same material and color. This makes the material particularly well-suited for understated, monochromatic designs in which color, form, and material use come together as a unified whole.

Thanks to its combination of aesthetic appeal, ease of use, and low-maintenance properties, SimiLaque Plus is being used more and more frequently in modern SieMatic kitchens.

Color Options within the SieMatic ColorSystem

The color of the cabinet fronts largely determines the look and feel of a kitchen. The SieMatic ColorSystem consists of carefully curated shades that align with current interior design trends while remaining timeless. The collection is divided into warm and neutral colors, ensuring there’s a suitable option for virtually every interior style.

Warm colors, such as silk, elephant, and mocha, have soft, earthy undertones and create a welcoming atmosphere. They also pair exceptionally well with wood finishes such as oak sand and oak platina. The neutral colors—including lotus white, stone gray, graphite, and shadow—create a calm and architectural look. These shades form a strong foundation for sleek kitchen designs and pair effortlessly with bold materials, art, or countertops featuring striking patterns.

Complete freedom with the Individual Color Collection

Sometimes an interior calls for a color that isn’t part of the standard color palette. Perhaps you want your kitchen island to match the shade of a poured concrete floor, window frame, or custom cabinet. For these situations, SieMatic offers the Individual Color Collection as part of the SQ paint system. This allows kitchen cabinets to be finished in virtually any NCS color, ensuring the kitchen can be perfectly coordinated with the rest of the interior.

Comparing Lacquer to Plastic Cabinet Doors

When shopping for a new kitchen, lacquer is often compared to synthetic fronts, such as laminate or melamine. Synthetic materials are known for their scratch resistance and attractive price point. Lacquer stands out primarily for its greater design flexibility, deeper color rendering, and high-quality finish.

Depending on the lacquer system chosen, matte, satin-matte, and high-gloss finishes are available. Additionally, lacquer provides access to the SieMatic ColorSystem and the Individual Color Collection. This allows for both carefully curated SieMatic colors and custom colors.

Which finish is best suited depends on the desired look, intended use, and personal preference.

Lacquer in various SieMatic designs

Lacquer is featured across all SieMatic style collections. In PURE , lacquer is often used on sleek, handle-free designs such as the SLX and S2. In CLASSIC, lacquer frequently serves as the basis for elegant framed fronts. Lacquer also plays an important role in URBAN and MONDIAL due to the great freedom it offers in color and material combinations. Thanks to the material’s versatility, lacquer can serve as both a subtle backdrop and a striking design element. This makes it suitable for a wide range of kitchen concepts and architectural styles.
