Paint Colours, Wood Finishes & Samples

Choose Your Furniture Finish

Explore painted colours, waxed and stained wood finishes, or raw pine for DIY finishing. Available options and prices vary by furniture design; check your chosen product before ordering.

Painted Wooden Samples

Screen settings, photography and lighting can affect how colours appear. We recommend a standard painted wooden sample to assess the colour and sheen at home. Samples are posted by Royal Mail. Request a colour sample.

Wood Finishes

Raw wood is supplied without a finish for painting at home. Light Wax and Honey Wax examples are shown below; see individual products for available stained and lacquered finishes.

Paint Colours and Sheen

Our furniture finish is a spray-applied two-part lacquer system from a specialist supplier, with a soft sheen closest to eggshell. We do not use the original paint from the manufacturers whose colour names may be referenced.

Standard shades include White, Off White, Cream, Elephant’s Breath, Dovetale, Worsted, Downpipe, Railings, Stiffkey Blue and Hague Blue. Special shades include Green #1, Green/Grey #5, Green #16, Green #21, Yellow #1 and Yellow #2.

If your preferred standard colour is missing from a product selector, choose a colour from the same price group and add your preference in the order instructions. Check with us if the correct group is unclear; dark and special colours can cost extra.

Colour Match Mix

For an additional cost, our supplier can mix a spray-applied version of most colours using the manufacturer’s colour chart and name, or a RAL number. They cannot match from a sample pot or coloured item. Shade variations are possible, so this service is not suitable when an exact match is essential. Custom-mixed samples are not available.

If you need the manufacturer’s actual paint, choose raw wood and apply your own finish at home.

Your Own Handles

Wooden knobs are supplied as standard. We can fit your own handles at our workshop before delivery; send them with your name and order number to Cheshire Pine, Sealand Farm, Sealand Road, Chester, CH1 6BS. The driver cannot fit handles at your home.

Cupboard door rails are 65 mm wide. Suggested round-knob sizes are 30–45 mm; contact us about bar-handle suitability before sending them.

Construction and Measurements

Our furniture is made from solid timber without MDF, plywood or man-made boards. Pocket-hole joints are made from inside the furniture; pilot holes can be visible on internal edges.

All furniture sizes are maximum external measurements, including the top overhang and protruding base plinth. Access and installation clearance must be allowed separately.
