Choice Studio

Studio is where the kitchen stops looking like furniture and starts looking like architecture.

Flat slab and slim shaker fronts. High-gloss, matte, soft-touch and textured woodgrain surfaces. Colour-matched edges so nothing interrupts the line. This is the range for condos, contemporary builds, and anyone who has spent time on European kitchen sites and come away wanting that.

High gloss. Reflective and light-amplifying. Superb in a darker room; shows fingerprints, so pair it with a handle or a groove rather than push-to-open on the doors you touch most.

Matte and soft-touch. A velvety, low-sheen surface that has become the default in European kitchens. Hides marks far better than gloss and feels genuinely different under the hand.

Textured woodgrain. Oak, walnut and elm textures where the surface has grain you can feel. Reads as real wood at conversational distance and does not move seasonally the way solid timber does.

Slim shaker. For anyone who wants a frame but not a traditional one — the thin rail sits between shaker and slab.

Twenty-eight finishes: glossy and matte anthracite, ivory, light grey and pebble grey; soft touch white; jet black; navy blue; plus a full range of oak, walnut and elm textures.

Handleless needs planning. Push-to-open and integrated grooves look superb and change how you use the kitchen. Decide early — it affects the cabinet build, not just the hardware.

Flat surfaces show everything. A slab door has nowhere for a dent or a scuff to hide the way a shaker frame does. This is a range that rewards care.

Gloss is a commitment. In a household of small hands, matte will make you happier.

Studio is where our Boldly Veined whites earn their money — a dramatic Calacatta-look slab against a plain matte slab door is the single most striking combination we install. See the boldly veined range →

For the wood-textured finishes, look at Cream & Beige or the warm gold-veined whites instead.

And if you are doing a waterfall island, ask about porcelain — book-matched slabs mirror the veining down the side, which is the detail that makes those islands work.
