Made to Measure Kitchen Door Finishes

New kitchen cabinetry has the potential to make or break your entire design scheme, as it plays such an integral visual and functional role in a space. This is why, as well as paying close attention to the styles that appeal to you, it's also vital to think carefully about how the finishes you're drawn to will work in your home.

Different Kitchen Door Finishes Can Transform Your Home

From natural materials to matt, gloss and metallic, there are a surprising number of finishes you can choose from when investing in new made to measure kitchen doors. Each unique finish has its own special qualities that will either complete your kitchen or create a sense of disharmony in your space. So, let's take this opportunity to look at the different finishes we offer across our range of made to measure doors to help you determine which is right for your home.

Matt and Supermatt Finishes

With a soft touch finish and a subtle profile, matt and supermatt finishes are among the most versatile finish options for kitchen doors and can be the right choice for myriad different styles and properties.

Matt and supermatt finishes are particularly popular amongst homeowners choosing Shaker style doors with panelled detailing, as it blurs the lines between traditional and contemporary to achieve a look that feels grounded in history yet perfectly suited to modern life.

Part of our range of Shaker inspired doors, our Bella Richmond kitchen doors have a classic elegance with clean lines and gently curved edges. As part of our Bella collection, our Richmond doors are available in 60 different finishes, including an array of matt and supermatt options.

Choosing heritage inspired colours, such as supermatt colonial blue, matt fir green or supermatt rusty red, will allow you to amplify the more traditional aspects of this versatile style. However, if you want to emphasise the more modern qualities of the Richmond doors, choosing a fresh supermatt Scandinavian blue, supermatt white-grey, or supermatt macadamia are all excellent options.

Gloss and Ultragloss Finishes

Light-reflecting gloss and ultragloss doors can offer a contemporary and high-end look to your kitchen, and they're also available in a wide selection of different colours, from chic neutrals to vibrant tones that will make a real style statement. With light bouncing properties and an inherent sense of contemporary chic, gloss and ultragloss finishes are the perfect addition to modern kitchen designs.

Our Bella Ora doors look super sleek in our ultragloss cashmere, white or light grey finish, as it highlights the style's minimal profile and space-enhancing qualities.

Natural Finishes

Kitchen doors with finishes inspired by natural materials offer a unique visual texture that can make a space feel lived-in, homely and inviting. It's easy to feel disconnected from nature amidst the hustle and bustle of modern life; however, incorporating natural materials into your home is a simple way to rekindle that connection while bringing an authentic sense of warmth and depth.

Made to measure doors with a warm wood finish are particularly popular, as they work beautifully in homes of all styles and offer a refined sophistication as well as a timeless quality. Our Bella Venice kitchen doors are an excellent option if you want texture to be one of the main features in your kitchen, and Halifax natural oak, Lissa oak and light Vicenza oak are three beautiful options that are sure to bring warmth and depth to the heart of your home.

Pro Tip: Choosing handleless or slab style kitchen doors will allow the texture of the finish to have its moment in the spotlight, as there's no need to add any extra details that may detract from the overall look.

Statement Finishes

If your cabinetry is going to take a starring role in your kitchen design, a statement finish can make a real impact. There are a number of different effects that can be achieved when choosing a statement finish, so whether you're looking to create a kitchen with a beach house style or enjoy mid-century or more contemporary aesthetics, you'll find plenty of options that are worth considering.

Our Valore kitchen doors are available in numerous eye-catching finishes, including driftwood light grey, which has a distinctive coastal vibe, Vanguard walnut, which has a mid-century inspired, highly luxurious look, and black mustang nero, which has intricate veining and patination throughout.

Pro Tip: We always advise obtaining some samples of the finishes you're considering, as this will allow you to see how the colours and styles look in different light conditions within your home. This becomes even more important when opting for a highly eye-catching finish, as it's really important that it feels right for your kitchen space.

Metallic Finishes

If you love the look of glossy kitchens but want to take it up another notch, a metallic finish could be ideally suited to your home. This finish offers all the light-reflective qualities of a gloss or ultragloss finish, with a touch of added bling to amplify the cool, contemporary look even further.
