Gloss or Matt Tiles? - Hallway, Kitchen, Family Room and Bathroom

Hi All,

We are in the midst of choosing some tiles for our house rennovation and its exceptionally complex.

We will be re-tiling all the current tiled area. The house is a earl 90's build and the current tiles are a dark cream and look to be a gloss, but not a full gloss - like a semi gloss?


We are re-doing our kitchen as well, the kitchen bench will be stone bench - caesarstone - Nougat (6600) with the cupboards and drawers being 2 pack satin while.

the tiles we are hoping are a light grey but we are not sure to go for gloss or matte, do they even do semi gloss?


the tiles would replace the front hallway - the kitchen and family room (big open space) and the bathroom and toilet (standard sizes).


we have 2 little children (7 months and 3 years old) and the tiled areas would get a lot of foot traffic.


We are trying to be modern but not ultra modern so that the space doesnt date so quickly if that makes sense. We can find pros and cons for each but I just wanted to see what people thought.


I am leaning towards Matte - and then having tiled gloss on the kitchen splash and bathroom walls while the wife is leaning toward the gloss?


We want Satin 2 pack cupboards as they were a happy medium between the two......is there something similar with tiles?
