The design families that suit a kitchen
Begin with the surfaces already chosen for your kitchen: flooring, countertop and wall paint. A white or beige solid can give a busy stone pattern a quieter neighbour; a wood grain adds another natural-looking texture. Keep the strongest pattern on one part of the cabinetry, then compare a calmer design alongside it.
The pairings above use actual Artis catalogue swatches. They are a starting point for choosing cabinet fronts and visible panels, not photographs of completed kitchens.
Make the pairing work in your layout
Try white marble with warm beige for a soft palette, teak with beige for a wood-led look, or gentle veining with white for less colour contrast. Decide which design belongs on the base cabinets, wall units or island before ordering.
Open either design to inspect its available finishes. Use the Visualizer to try one selected design on your room photo, then compare both physical samples together. The enquiry link carries both design codes to the Artis team.
Catalogue swatches — not room renders
Darker base · lighter uppers
Marble splash · solid shutters
Wood island · calm surrounds
Finish and thickness make the design work
Choose the finish separately from the colour. Compare a gloss sample and a suede or matt sample under your own lighting, and check how each looks and feels when handled. Not every finish is available in every design: use the finishes listed on the design page.
Artis 1MM is the premium 1.0mm line for visible surfaces. Woodrica and Artvio are 0.8mm options for interiors, secondary panels and budget-led projects. Confirm the exact design, finish and thickness with your supplier. Ask your fabricator about the substrate, edge sealing and suitability near water or heat; a laminate swatch alone does not specify a complete kitchen installation.
Take a clear shortlist to your supplier
Keep the design codes, chosen finishes and intended cabinet surfaces together. Add your city and approximate quantity when you enquire, so the team can help with samples, availability and pricing. Confirm the physical sheet before placing an order.
