Customised Paint Colours and Custom Handles

Paint Finish & Custom Colour Information
Our Paint Finish
Our painted furniture has a finish that is closest to an eggshell sheen. This provides a soft, subtle appearance with a gentle low-level shine. It is neither completely matt nor glossy, offering just enough depth and warmth to enhance the furniture’s character. The appearance may vary slightly depending on the lighting in your room.
Looking for a Paint Colour We Don’t Offer?
If the paint colour you require is not one of the 16 standard colours available on our website, we offer the following options:
Option 1: DIY Finishing
If you would like your furniture finished in a specific paint manufacturer’s colour (for example, Dulux, Heritage, Neptune, Wren, Crown, Craig & Rose, etc.), we can supply the furniture in raw wood (unfinished).
This allows you to purchase and apply the exact paint and colour you have already selected for your home, ensuring a perfect match.
Please note: We do not purchase or use paint supplied by specific manufacturers.
Option 2: Colour Match Mix Service
For an additional charge, our paint supplier can create a spray-applied colour match for most paint colours from manufacturers such as:
- Farrow & Ball
- Little Greene
- Dulux
- Most RAL colours
The sheen is similar to an eggshell finish.
When ordering, please select “Colour Match Mix” from the drop-down menu.
Important Information
This service matches the colour only, not the manufacturer’s paint itself.
Our supplier creates a custom spray finish based on the paint manufacturer’s published colour chart or a RAL reference. They do not have access to manufacturers’ proprietary paint formulas, which means slight variations in colour or shade may occur.
If an exact colour match is not critical, this service is an excellent way to achieve a colour very close to your chosen paint.
Colour References We Can Accept
Our supplier can only work from:
- An official paint manufacturer’s colour name
- A paint manufacturer’s colour chart reference
- A RAL colour number
Additional Charge for Physical Samples
Unfortunately, our supplier cannot colour match from wet paint samples, sample pots, painted objects, or other physical items within the standard Colour Match Mix service.
If colour matching from a physical sample is required, there is an additional £30 charge, which is the fee charged to us by our supplier.
Please Read Before Ordering
- We do not purchase or use the actual paint manufacturer’s paint for custom colour orders.
- Our finish is a specialist two-part paint and lacquer system, designed specifically for spray application on furniture.
- This system provides a more durable and consistent furniture finish than most wall paints.
- Most paint manufacturer’s products are designed for brush or roller application on walls rather than furniture spraying.
- We are unable to provide painted wood samples for custom-mixed colours, as each colour is mixed specifically for individual orders.
- Our supplier does not produce sample pots for custom colour requests.
Returns & Replacements
If you choose the Colour Match Mix service, we cannot accept responsibility if the final colour is not exactly what you expected.
As each colour is specially mixed to your specification, we are unable to replace or refund items based on colour variations or expectations.
Colours We Cannot Match
Unfortunately, we are unable to colour match any Crown Paint or Johnstone’s Paint colours.

CUSTOMERS OWN HANDLES
- We supply all our furniture with FREE WOODEN KNOBS as standard. These are 40 mm

- We can fit your own handles on to your furniture here at our workshop before delivery if you send them to us. This is because there are thousands out there and you can pick any you like.
- We just ask that you send your handles to us with a note of your NAME and ORDER NUMBER to the address below.

We use a Kreg® Pocket-Hole Machine to construct cabinet furniture, bookshelves, tables etc with multiple joints in a professional way. It drills a pilot hole and counterbore at a 15-degree angle into the timber without the use of glue, nails and screws on the outside what can be on view, look very unsightly and not very strong. It enables us to construct furniture from the inside instead of the outside.
Our time served cabinet makers have used this for many many years and it gives the best strength and most stable construction out there. These pilot holes are visible on the inside side edge.
