Materials & Finishes

A measured palette, not a swatch wall.

A focused selection of woods, veneers, paints, surfaces, and hardware — each chosen for how it ages in a working entryway, not just how it photographs new.

Wood-look finishes

Solid timbers and figured surfaces.

Natural Oak

Natural Oak

Open-grain warmth that mellows beautifully over years of daily use.

Walnut

Walnut

Deeper, calmer tone with quiet grain — well-suited to formal entries.

Fluted Oak

Fluted Oak

Reeded vertical surface that catches light and adds rhythm to large doors.

Veneer options

Continuity across long runs.

Veneer lets us carry consistent grain across full-height, wall-spanning cabinets where solid timber would move with seasonal humidity.

European Oak Veneer

Consistent grain, sustainable supply, ideal for floor-to-ceiling continuity.

American Walnut Veneer

Rich tone with strong figure — adds depth without overwhelming a small space.

Quartered Cuts

Straight grain veneers for a quieter, more architectural feel.

Painted finishes

Colour that sits with the room.

Painted joinery is the easiest way to coordinate a cabinet with the existing palette of a home — soft greens, off-whites, deep blues, or muted neutrals.

Sage Matte

Sage Matte

Soft natural green that sits well alongside timber and stone.

Warm Cream

Warm Cream

Off-white with a hint of warmth — disappears into pale wall colours.

Surface character

Matte, satin, and textured.

Beyond colour, surface finish controls how a cabinet feels under hand and under light.

Matte

Lowest sheen. Hides everyday marks well; quiet under varied lighting.

Satin

Mid sheen. Easy to clean while still calm under direct light.

Textured

Tactile surfaces (fluting, brushing, light wood grain) that add depth without colour change.

Handles & hardware

Coordinated, not decorated.

Hardware is selected to sit in conversation with the cabinet finish and the rest of the room — not to dominate either.

Brass

Brass

Warm metal that complements oak, walnut, and warm-painted finishes.

Matte Black

Matte Black

Low-contrast hardware for modern interiors and pale finishes.

Colour matching

We match against your existing wall paint, flooring, and adjacent cabinetry. Where exact matches aren't possible, we work in deliberate complementary tones.

Easy-clean considerations

Entryway joinery sees daily wet shoes, dust, and bag contact. We favour finishes and edge details that tolerate frequent wipe-downs without dulling.

Choosing for traffic level

Family homes and high-traffic entries favour matte, mid-tone finishes that hide marks. Quieter homes can carry lighter or higher-sheen finishes more comfortably.

Choosing a finish

A short, honest framework.

There is no single 'best' finish. The right choice depends on the room around it, the way the household lives, and the way the entryway is lit through the day.

  • Bright, sunlit entries can carry deeper and matte finishes.
  • Darker entries usually benefit from lighter, slightly reflective surfaces.
  • Households with young children or pets favour painted satin and matte timbers.
  • Renovations should pull from the wider palette, not introduce a new one.
