From Dark Blue to Soft Neutrals — A Heath Kitchen Refinished
This Heath kitchen shows how a considered change in colour can completely shift the atmosphere of a well-made space.
Refinished in our spray studio in Salon Drab and Drop Cloth, the cabinetry moved from deep blue to soft, balanced neutrals — keeping everything that worked, and gently refining what didn’t.
Project Overview
Location: Heath, Cardiff
Colour: Salon Drab and Drop Cloth by Farrow & Ball
Finish: Workshop spray refinishing, 10% acid catalyst coating
Scope: Refinish existing kitchen cabinetry
This Heath kitchen was updated using a thoughtful two-tone palette of Salon Drab and Drop Cloth, introducing contrast while keeping the overall feel calm and balanced.
The change in colour wasn’t just aesthetic — it shifted the atmosphere of the space. Darker tones can make a room feel enclosed, while softer neutrals allow light to move more freely, creating a kitchen that feels more open, settled and easy to live in.
By refinishing the existing cabinetry in our workshop spray studio, the homeowners were able to achieve a lasting, durable finish while keeping the structure and craftsmanship of the original kitchen intact. The result is a space that feels more aligned with how they want to live — familiar, considered, and truly part of their home rather than something they inherited.
"We used Bespoke Spray to give our kitchen a much needed refresh. The finish is excellent and it really does look like a brand new kitchen. The customer service is second to none. They provided us with advice throughout the process, they are very responsive and professional, and if you’re wanting some guidance on colours…Beth is the woman to ask!! They really were a pleasure to work with and we already have a number of other project lined up which we hope to use them for. You will not regret using Bespoke Spray!"
