Graphite kitchens from Deelux

Graphite is our most-popular dark modern door — a deep, slightly warm charcoal that reads grey in bright light and almost black at night. It is the colour we fit most often on islands, pantry units and boot-room runs, where you want a strong, grounded anchor in an otherwise light room.

In a Deelux kitchen, Graphite is available as a factory matt, gloss and hand-painted finish, and it suits either modern handleless or traditional Shaker ranges. Within our collection, Graphite appears on ranges including Sensia, Pollino True Handleless and Brackenbury Oak & Painted Collection. Because every cabinet is built and finished at our own Winsford factory in Cheshire, we can paint Graphite across the full collection — including on bespoke larder, pantry and island designs that are not on the standard range page.

Graphite is a colour that rewards careful pairing. For worktops, we usually specify a veined white quartz, a warm oak island top or a concrete-effect Dekton; for handles, brushed brass, matt black or a handleless J-pull; and underfoot, limed oak, large-format pale porcelain or a warm travertine all work well. Graphite is also very commonly chosen as a two-tone — most often paired with Porcelain, Cashmere or White for a high-contrast two-tone. Your designer will bring door, worktop and handle samples to your consultation so you can see the combinations in hand before committing.

Every Graphite Deelux kitchen is bespoke — no flat-pack, no off-the-shelf units. Each cabinet is cut, drilled, edged, painted and assembled to your exact plans at our Winsford factory, with 18mm solid backs, screwed (not dowelled) construction, soft-close Blum hinges and our fifteen-year cabinet guarantee.
