The painted finish is often the last stage of a new kitchen installation — and the stage people notice most.

The Final Stage

The final stage of a new kitchen.

Cabinet makers create the structure. Designers create the vision. The painted finish brings the room together.

Designed For Your Home

Colours and finishes can be considered in the actual room, alongside flooring, worktops, lighting and decoration.

Crafted By Specialists

Traditional Painter members specialise in kitchen and furniture painting, not general decorating alone.

Built To Last

Professional preparation, primers and finishing systems help create a durable finish for everyday kitchen use.

New Kitchen Finish

A newly installed kitchen, professionally finished.

Whether supplied by Handmade Kitchens of Christchurch, a local cabinet maker or a national kitchen company, a specialist painted finish transforms the final result.

Showroom & Display Work

Trusted to paint showroom kitchens.

Showroom kitchens need to represent the quality of the company behind them. Traditional Painter has completed showroom and display work for Alexander Lewis, helping present their cabinetry with a specialist hand-painted finish.

This kind of work is a strong endorsement because kitchen companies rely on the finish to show potential customers what is possible.

A finish worthy of the cabinetry.

Whether the kitchen is for a showroom, a bespoke project or a family home, the aim is always the same: a finish that complements the craftsmanship beneath it.

Hand Painted or Factory Finished?

Why choose an on-site hand-painted finish?

Factory finishes have their place, but a specialist hand-painted finish offers flexibility, character and long-term practicality.

On-Site Flexibility

Final colours and finishing details can be considered in the actual room, after the kitchen has been installed.

Future Maintenance

A hand-painted kitchen can often be touched in, adjusted or repainted more easily in future.

Crafted Character

A hand-painted finish brings depth, softness and individuality to bespoke cabinetry.

What colours can I choose?

Have you painted Clive Christian kitchens?
