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.

Create Your Perfect White or Cream Kitchen

Whether you’re drawn to the crisp freshness of Brilliant White, the soft warmth of Porcelain, the classic richness of Ivory, the serene beauty of Shell, or the understated elegance of Chalk, a white or cream kitchen offers endless design possibilities. At Sarah Jane Kitchens, our bespoke approach ensures your chosen shade is perfectly matched with cabinetry style, materials, textures and lighting to create a kitchen that feels beautifully personal and meticulously crafted.

Red and pink kitchens are evolving into one of the most expressive and inviting trends in interior design. These shades bring warmth, depth, and emotion to a space qualities that suit both contemporary and classic homes.

At Sarah Jane Kitchens, we proudly work with premium colour palettes from Stori and Second Nature, offering a spectrum of warm hues that create personality driven designs.

Red & Pink Kitchen Colours

Cashmere

Kensington

Cashmere is a delicate, warm neutral that blends soft beige with an underlying blush of pink. This subtle warmth makes it feel inviting and calming, while still offering the versatility of a classic neutral. It’s a colour that shifts beautifully throughout the day—appearing creamy in morning light and slightly rosier under warm LEDs.

Design Note:

Cashmere works exceptionally well when used across full cabinetry runs, creating a seamless, elegant foundation for the room. Pair with warm-toned natural materials such as oak, ash, or rattan for a harmonised, earthy look. For a more refined finish, consider pairing with brushed brass handles and creamy quartz surfaces that enhance its pink undertone.

Antique Red

Lawrenson

Antique Red is a rich, deep red with brown undertones that bring sophistication and timeless appeal. This is a colour that feels both opulent and grounded, evoking the warmth of heritage interiors while fitting effortlessly into modern-day kitchen designs. Antique Red creates depth and drama, especially in larger spaces or as a standalone statement.

Design Note:

Antique Red is perfect for statement islands, feature dressers, or bold zones within the kitchen. To maintain balance, pair it with lighter cabinetry such as Stori Cashmere or soft natural stone worktops. Antique brass hardware and warm lighting elevate the richness of this shade, bringing a luxurious, classic meets modern aesthetic.

Vintage Pink

Madison

Vintage Pink is a warm, muted blush with a nostalgic softness. It adds personality without overwhelming the space, making it perfect for clients who want colour but prefer a gentle, understated palette. Vintage Pink brings a fresh, calming quality that works beautifully in both contemporary and country-style kitchens.

Design Note:

Use Vintage Pink for feature furniture such as pantry doors, larder units, or breakfast dressers where it can introduce warmth without commanding the entire space. It pairs wonderfully with creamy whites, matte taupe, and natural fibre textures. For extra depth, incorporate warm bronze or brushed gold hardware, which draws out the delicate rosy tones.

Dry Rose

Porter

Dry Rose is a beautifully subtle pink with earthy, terracotta-influenced undertones. It brings warmth without feeling overly feminine or bright, making it a favourite for modern, grounded kitchen schemes. Dry Rose adds a soft, cocooning quality to cabinetry and works especially well in light-poor rooms that need visual warmth.

Design Note:

Dry Rose is excellent for two-tone combinations pair it with Second Nature Cashmere, Pebble, or warm white to create a layered, tonal kitchen. When matched with brushed brass handles and warm LED lighting, Dry Rose reveals it’s richer, clay like warmth. It also pairs beautifully with textured elements such as fluted glass, oak shelving, or earthy ceramic tiles.

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. For a modern look, pair with matte black handles, dark quartz, or industrial style lighting. For a warmer, more natural feel, combine it with oak timber accents and open shelving. 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

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.

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.

Reed Green

Our bestselling tonal group of 2023, Green is an extremely versatile colour that has soared in popularity over the last few years. From rich and sumptuous forest greens to serene sage hues, each shade communicates a peaceful harmony with its tranquil symbolisation of nature. So it’ll come as no surprise that we’ve chosen to expand our green paint offering with a new mid green with cooler undertones to sit alongside our more earthy shades, Cardamom and Willow.

Simple and understated, Reed Green is a calming mid green with subtle blue undertones. Inspired by the stems of broad-leafed Water Reeds found along the edges of lakes and rivers, the multifaceted colour will soothe any space whilst adding a natural element to your interior’s palette.

Natural textures like aged stone, wicker and oak will draw on Reed Green’s subtle warmth, complementing its organic aspect whilst metallic accents in chrome or brass will pop against the homely hue. Use throughout your home to add a sense of tranquillity, especially in busy areas like kitchens or boot rooms.

Ranges featured: Belgravia | Clifden

Reed Green works in any room orientation. In South facing rooms it’ll add balance to warmer sunlight throughout the day and in colder North facing rooms pair the hue with warmer accents for balance. The gentle shade will breathe life into your space and works particularly well when paired with paler cool toned shades like Porcelain or warmer beiges like Taupe Grey for a rich yet calming colour palette.

Antique Red

Introducing the first ever red to grace our Standard Paint Palette, we’ve been influenced by the Maximalist design style taking over interior trends globally, adding yet another bold shade to our selection. With a ‘more is more philosophy’; Antique Red represents an aesthetic of excess inspired by ornate décor typically in royal residences.

A rich burgundy, Antique Red is reflective of both the stately reds and kingly. The sovereign-inspired shade evokes power and holds its own when used solely or can be paired easily with hues like Porcelain or Brilliant White to create a softer palette. Accentuate the royal feel with brass hardware or opt for matte black handles for a more modern finish.

Easily create a bold and lavish statement in any space in your home with a nod to times gone by with Antique Red in command. The majestic hue can be used to add grandeur in kitchens, home offices and even laundry rooms. Antique Red can be used in any room orientation when paired with a balanced colour scheme and ample lighting.

Ranges featured: Belgravia | Aldana

Monument Grey

A timeless sophisticated neutral, Greys are still a popular choice for any room in the home, we’ve expanded our tonal group to reflect this with another mid tone addition, Monument Grey.

Monument Grey commemorates notable stone statues and buildings found throughout the world. Statuesque in nature, the strong blue undertones will add a contemporary feel with a touch of history to any space. The touch of yellow adds a slight warmth to the hue differentiating it from our other mid greys, Dust Grey and Gun Metal Grey that are featured in our Standard Paint Palette.

The architectural grey can be used in both traditional and modern settings to add strength and a strikingly modern look. Opting for dual toned cabinetry? Pair Monument Grey with Brilliant White or Light Grey for a classic monochromatic colour palette. The colour will naturally chisel the cabinetry showcasing every design detail flawlessly from inframe designs to slab styles.

Balance the industrial blue toned grey with warmer wall colours and metallic brass hardware for richness and opt for sparkling white worktops in kitchens to brighten the overall look. Use in South facing rooms to highlight the shade’s muted warmth.

Cannon Black

With the demand for Graphite and requests for black hues coming through our Colour Match Service we added our darkest, deepest shade yet to our Standard Paint Palette Offering. Aptly named after historical artillery, Cannon Black is a true black offering a dramatic yet neutral shade to transform any space.

The authoritative hue is grounded yet eloquent adding a touch of luxury to any classic or contemporary setting. Pair with paler shades with subtle warmth like Porcelain or Cashmere for a striking contrast that will exude power and strength.

For a seamless finish opt for a matching handleless rail system, a door style with an integrated handle or matte black handles that will flawlessly blend into the design. The darkest shade in our paint palette will add an intimate atmosphere to any space from kitchens to media rooms, just be sure to balance with different textures and finishes as well as a carefully considered lighting scheme including LED cabinetry lights in any room orientation.
