01 — Paint Colours · Signature Palette
A Colour For Every Kind Of Home
Softened whites, earthy neutrals, and saturated heritage tones — a look at our signature paint collection, hand-mixed and hand-sprayed in our finish room. We regularly match Farrow & Ball, Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, Tonester and custom mixes. Colours shown on screen are a guide; we prepare hand-painted samples before any work begins.
Every painted door is hand-sprayed in a catalysed conversion varnish — a professional-grade finish that resists chipping, yellowing and moisture, in your choice of flat matte, satin or semi-gloss sheen.
A selection from our signature palette — Hempston can match virtually any paint colour or custom mix.
Inset Face Frame
Neutrals on an inset face frame
Hand-sprayed conversion varnish on furniture-grade inset face frames. The door sits flush inside the frame for a tailored, heritage look. Shown below in Tracadie and Vieux-Port Plaster — two of our most-requested neutrals. Any Farrow & Ball, Benjamin Moore or custom colour can be matched on the same construction.

02 — Wood Stains
From Raw & Clear To Deep Etna Oak
Hand-rubbed tones inspired by the natural, single-coat hardwax oils popularised by makers like Rubio Monocoat. Shown on white oak — final colour varies with species and grain.
Hardwax oils penetrate the timber rather than sit on top, so the surface reads warm, matte and tactile — and stays spot-repairable for decades of daily use.
Finish questions
What is a hardwax-oil wood stain?
A hardwax oil is a penetrating wood finish (like Rubio Monocoat) that colours and protects hardwood in a single hand-rubbed application. It leaves a natural low-sheen surface that shows the wood's grain.
What finish do you use on painted cabinets?
Our painted cabinets are hand-sprayed with a professional conversion varnish or waterborne 2K polyurethane, cured in a dedicated finishing room. Hard, low-sheen, and repairable.
Can I get a real painted or stained sample before I decide?
Yes. We produce hand-made samples in your exact wood species, paint colour, or hardwax-oil stain before fabrication.
