Our Painted Process

Our process includes:

This creates a tactile, artisanal finish that sets our kitchens apart.Climate Controlled StorageBefore production starts, doors and drawer fronts are kept in a climate controlled warehouse to maintain optimum humidity and temperature, this helps prevent warping or finish issues once painted.  

Precision Sanding After your order is placed, the doors go through multiple stages of sanding. This starts with robotic sanding for consistency and is followed by hand finishing by skilled technicians ensuring an ultra smooth surface ready for primer.  

Priming in Spray BoothsThe sanded doors are loaded into state of the art robotic spray booths and receive a consistent, controlled primer coat. This primer helps the topcoat adhere correctly and boosts long term durability. The primer coated doors are then dried in heated chambers.  

Hand Sanded Between Coats After priming, each door is lightly hand sanded again. This further smooths the surface and improves the adhesion for the topcoat paint, which helps the final finish look flawless and last longer.  

Topcoat Application The fully prepared doors are returned to the spray booths and coated with your chosen richly pigmented paint colour from our extensive palette. For more intricate shapes (like Harborne), expert sprayers finish some areas by hand for perfect coverage. These finishes are designed to be both attractive and practical wipe clean for everyday kitchen use.  

Quality Assurance & Curing Once painting is complete, each door undergoes a final quality check. The doors then cure for several hours before packaging ensuring the coating reaches full hardness and durability before leaving the factory.  

Real Painted Kitchens Designed for Real Living

Crafted with care and finished with meticulous attention to detail, our painted kitchens are made to be lived in, not just looked at. Every door is prepared, primed, and painted with a durable finish that stands up to daily use while showcasing rich, characterful colour. The result is a kitchen that feels warm, authentic, and beautifully personal, designed to grow with your home and your life.

Below, we explore each colour in detail including design ideas to help you make the most of these beautifully classic tones.

White & Cream Kitchen Colours

Brillant White

Zola Soft Matte

Brilliant White is the brightest and most reflective shade in the palette, ideal for kitchens where maximum light is desired. This crisp, clean tone instantly lifts the room, making it feel more open, airy and spacious perfect for modern homes, smaller kitchens or spaces with limited natural light.

Design Notes:

A Brilliant White kitchen shines when paired with polished quartz worktops, contemporary chrome details or matt black accents for bold contrast. If you want to soften the look, introducing natural textures such as pale oak, linen upholstery, fluted wood panelling or handmade ceramics adds warmth and subtle texture. Brilliant White also works beautifully with warm LED lighting, which enhances its clarity without creating a clinical feel.

Porcelain

Outline (Hunton)

Porcelain sits beautifully between white and cream, offering a gentle warmth that feels elegant, refined and incredibly adaptable. This shade brings a calm sophistication to the kitchen, making it a perfect choice for those who want a neutral foundation with a welcoming, homely feel.

Design Notes:

Porcelain cabinetry pairs wonderfully with brushed brass handles, warm oak flooring and stone-effect quartz to create a cosy yet luxurious atmosphere. For added depth, consider a contrasting island in soft grey, muted green or deep navy, giving the room a high-end designer finish. If you prefer a lighter aesthetic, soft beige walls or warm porcelain tiles enhance the shade’s creamy undertones while maintaining an airy look.

Ivory

Jefferson

Ivory is a rich, warm, traditional cream tone that instantly makes a kitchen feel welcoming and timeless. This colour is especially well-suited to shaker and inframe kitchens, where it highlights craftsmanship, detailing and natural materials.

Design Notes:

Ivory works beautifully with heritage touches such as beaded frames, Belfast sinks and feature mantles. Pairing Ivory cabinetry with antique brass hardware, walnut worktops or natural stone flooring creates a classic, country-inspired kitchen with depth and charm. You can introduce modern elements by choosing sleek quartz surfaces or adding a contrasting island in charcoal or warm mushroom, creating an elegant blend of old and new.

Shell

Lawrenson

Shell is a delicate, naturally warm cream with gentle, calming undertones — perfect for homeowners seeking a soft, organic aesthetic. This shade works beautifully in relaxed family kitchens and interiors influenced by Scandinavian or coastal design.

Design Note:

Shell pairs effortlessly with warm oak, rattan textures, woven lighting and tactile stone surfaces to create a serene, calming space. For a bit of contrast, muted blues, soft sage greens or subtle taupes can be introduced through islands, seating or pantry doors. Shell is also stunning alongside microcement floors or textured splashbacks, adding a sense of crafted simplicity and understated luxury.

Chalk

Milbourne

Chalk is a gentle off-white that offers a beautifully soft neutrality without the starkness of pure white. It’s a wonderful choice for minimalist, transitional or softly modern kitchen designs.

Design Notes:

Chalk pairs naturally with both cool and warm tones, making it easy to adapt to your style. For a contemporary feel, pair Chalk with black handles, modern appliances and light quartz surfaces. For a softer look, combine it with open wooden shelving, curved furniture pieces and warm metallics. Chalk also works well as a full-room colour or as a neutral balance to a darker island, adding harmony and calm to the kitchen.

Oyster

Lawrenson

Clean, elegant and effortlessly versatile, Oyster is a sophisticated off-white that brightens any room without feeling stark. Perfect for minimalist kitchens or as a base colour for bold feature islands.

Design Notes:

Oyster also works beautifully as a base colour for bold feature islands, providing a calm, sophisticated contrast that lets statement finishes, colours and textures shine.

Pimento

Mornington Beaded

Pimento is a bold reddish orange with vibrant warmth and contemporary flair. This hue brings energy and personality into the kitchen, making it ideal for those who love expressive, lively spaces. Pimento’s vibrancy makes it stand out beautifully as a feature colour even in small doses.

Design Note:

Use Pimento thoughtfully as a focal shade perfect for an island, tall unit bank, or statement breakfast pantry.

Pimento excels in kitchens that embrace creativity and personality.

Discover Beige Kitchens Design & Inspiration with Sarah Jane Kitchens

Beige kitchens have become a favourite in both classic and contemporary homes, offering a timeless warmth that balances beauty with practicality. At Sarah Jane Kitchens, we help our clients design beige kitchens using carefully selected tones from the Stori and Second Nature colour collections.

This blog will guide you through a curated palette of warm neutrals perfect for creating calm, welcoming kitchen spaces that stand the test of time.

Beige is a versatile, enduring colour choice. It’s soft, sophisticated, and easy to layer with different finishes from wood and marble to brass and black accents.

Beige Kitchen Colours

Mussel

Jefferson

Mussel is a soft, creamy neutral that pairs beautifully with wood accents or darker contrast tones like Lava. It’s a popular choice for both traditional shaker kitchens and sleek modern styles.

Design Note:

Mussel works particularly well in country-inspired kitchens when paired with cup handles and tongue-and-groove paneling. It’s also excellent for creating a two-tone scheme with Stone Grey or Lava.

Shell

Lawrenson

Shell brings a gentle warmth to the room with its light, sandy tone. It’s perfect for creating a neutral base that still feels soft and inviting.

Design Note:

Use Shell on upper cabinetry or open shelving to reflect light and maintain an airy atmosphere. Pair with textured stone-effect worktops for depth and contrast.

Stone

Aldana

Stone is a grounded neutral that delivers subtle contrast and an earthy feel. It’s a great choice for those wanting a beige tone with a touch more richness.

Design Note:

This colour looks beautiful in slab-style or in-frame doors and works well with antique brass hardware and soft limestone flooring.

Stone Grey

Wakefield

For a slightly more muted, greyed-out tone, Stone Grey adds a contemporary feel without straying too far from the beige family.

Design Note:

Use Stone Grey for lower cabinets or islands to ground your kitchen visually while still keeping a neutral base.

Taupe Grey

Newcombe

Taupe Grey offers a smokier, modern take on beige. It’s perfect for those who want something that’s not quite grey and not quite cream.

Design Note:

Taupe Grey shines in minimalist kitchens with sleek worktops and minimal hardware—ideal for a high-end look that’s still warm and approachable.

Porcelain

Clarendon

Porcelain is a crisp, pale neutral that lightens beige schemes and enhances natural light ideal for small kitchens or darker rooms.

Design Note:

Porcelain can be used for full-height cabinetry or larders to keep the look bright and expansive.

Chalk

Milbourne

Chalk is a subtle, chalky white with a hint of warmth, making it an ideal companion to beige tones like Taupe Grey or Mussel.

Design Note:

Use Chalk on walls or as a base cabinet finish to elevate warm neutrals without overpowering them.

White

Arlo

Sometimes beige needs a crisp edge. White adds freshness and makes colours like Shell and Stone pop.

Design Note:

White works well for upper cabinets or ceiling-height units, especially when paired with beige below for a gentle tonal gradient.

Meadowell

Crathorne

Though not a beige, Meadowell adds a nature-inspired accent that complements warm tones beautifully. Use it sparingly to break up a beige-dominant space.

Design Note:

Add Meadowell in panelled doors or islands to give beige kitchens a subtle lift without overwhelming the warm palette.

Grey and black kitchens are a bold, confident choice and with the right balance, they deliver dramatic beauty with timeless appeal. At Sarah Jane Kitchens, we design bespoke kitchens using industry-leading shades from the Stori and Second Nature ranges. These colour palettes offer everything from soft dove greys to rich, velvety black giving you flexibility and control over your finished look.

This guide explores how to design your dream grey or black kitchen using carefully chosen colours that reflect light, create depth, and enhance any interior style.

Grey & Black Kitchen Colours

Cannon Black

Lawrenson

A true, deep black with a velvety matte finish, Cannon Black makes a bold statement. This tone instantly adds drama and is ideal for minimal, architectural kitchens or as a striking island contrast.

Design Note:

Cannon Black works best in open, well-lit kitchens where its boldness can be balanced by pale countertops or natural light. Combine with brushed brass handles and a white marble splashback for a luxe aesthetic.

Dust Grey

Sutton

A cool, medium-depth grey, Dust Grey is an excellent all-rounder. It provides just enough depth without overwhelming the room and adapts beautifully to both traditional shaker and modern slab designs.

Design Note:

Layer Dust Grey with Light Grey for a calming two-tone palette. It also sits beautifully against warm wood accents like oak or walnut.

Graphite

Aldana

Deep, dramatic, and endlessly elegant, Graphite offers a sleek charcoal hue with a slightly warmer base than black. It’s one of the most adaptable dark shades in our range.

Design Note:

Use Graphite in slab doors for a modern feel, or pair with lighter tones like Shell or Dove Grey for traditional contrast.

Light Grey

Georgia

Light and fresh without feeling stark, Light Grey is an airy neutral that reflects natural light beautifully. A great alternative to white if you want a softer look.

Design Note:

Perfect for smaller kitchens or north-facing rooms. Pair with black accents and woodgrain worktops for a refined, Scandi-inspired design.

Dove Grey

Belsay Beaded

Dove Grey is a gentle, light grey with neutral undertones that blend seamlessly into any palette. It’s an excellent choice for both modern and classic kitchens and adds brightness without being stark.

Design Note:

Use Dove Grey in traditional shaker cabinetry with a warm white worktop for a calming, timeless effect.

Silver Grey

Remo

Silver Grey introduces a subtle cool tone—great for modern kitchens that lean into monochrome styling. It’s a soft alternative to white, with just enough pigment to feel interesting.

Design Note:

Works beautifully in slab doors or handleless systems. Add high-gloss tiles or chrome fittings for a clean, contemporary look.

Putty

Clarendon Beaded

With beige undertones, Putty leans toward a taupe-grey hybrid. It’s warm, inviting, and perfect for softening the sharper edges of black or slate tones.

Design Note:

Layer Putty with woodgrain finishes or stone-effect splashbacks for a relaxed, earthy modern kitchen.

Slate

Mornington Shaker

A deeply saturated dark grey, Slate has a refined depth that’s ideal for bold, elegant kitchens. It works brilliantly in slab or in-frame cabinetry and feels classic yet cutting-edge.

Design Note:

Pair Slate with fluted glass, bronze fixtures, or marble-effect quartz for a boutique designer feel.

Carbon
