Painted finish kitchens, hand-built in Cheshire

A hand-painted Deelux kitchen is the finish we are best known for — doors, drawer fronts, end panels and cornices painted by hand at our own Winsford workshop, in any colour you choose from our standard palette or any Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, Paint & Paper Library or RAL reference you bring to the showroom. It is the finish that gives a kitchen its character; the reason our customers talk about the way the colour shifts through the day; and the reason a painted Deelux kitchen can be repaired, refreshed or recoloured decades down the line without being ripped out.

Within our collection, every traditional Shaker and in-frame range is available hand-painted as standard — Brackenbury Oak & Painted Collection, Deedale, Falconbrook In-Frame, Mardale T&G, Mollingdon, Maidstone and Pollino. Colours span the full Deelux painted palette — from Cashmere, Cream and Porcelain at the light end, through Sage, Fern, Dove Grey and Mussel in the middle, to Indigo, Midnight Blue, Graphite and Noir at the deep end — and any bespoke reference via our Bespoke Colour service.

The single biggest reason to choose painted over factory-finished is repairability. Factory-finished doors cannot be touched up without replacing the door; a hand-painted door can be cleaned, flatted and recoated in the exact same paint, years later, without a visible patch — and the whole kitchen can be repainted in a different colour down the line if the room changes use. The paint itself is a two-pack cabinetry grade sprayed over a flatted primer, cured between coats, and finished in matt or satin eggshell; it is far more durable than the emulsion most people associate with "painted" cabinets. Typical painted pairings: a honed oak butcher-block or warm-veined quartz worktop, antique brass cup handles or aged bronze knobs, and a wide-plank oak or tumbled limestone floor.

Every hand-painted Deelux kitchen is bespoke. Each door is painted by the same small team that painted the last one, in the same spray booth, to the same spec — no outsourcing, no trade-route rebadging. Cabinets are cut, drilled, edged, painted and assembled to your exact floorplan at our own Winsford factory, with 18mm solid backs, screwed (not dowelled) construction, soft-close Blum hinges and our fifteen-year cabinet guarantee. Typical lead time is 10–14 weeks from signed order to installed kitchen, reflecting the fact that hand-painted doors are physically painted, flatted, recoated and cured before they leave the factory.
