Bringing a Radyr Kitchen Together in Vert de Terre

Project Overview

Location: Radyr, Cardiff

Colour: Vert de Terre

Finish: Workshop spray refinishing, 10% acid catalyst coating

Scope: Refinish existing kitchen cabinetry and island

 

This large Radyr kitchen was updated in Vert de Terre, bringing a soft, muted green tone across the cabinetry and island. The doors and panels were removed and refinished in our workshop spray studio, allowing the colour to be applied evenly across the full scale of the kitchen. Spray refinishing provided a complete visual transformation while retaining the original layout and structure of the space.

​

Why Farrow & Ball Vert de Terre Was Chosen

Farrow & Ball Vert de Terre is a soft, muted green that sits comfortably between grey and sage. In this Radyr home, it helped lighten the space while still feeling grounded and architectural. The colour worked particularly well with the existing stone worktops and warm metallic accents, creating a more balanced and timeless look throughout the kitchen and island.

 

Refinishing the Kitchen Island

The kitchen island was a key feature in this space, previously finished in a darker contrasting tone. By refinishing the island in the same Vert de Terre shade, we created visual continuity across the room. This helped the island feel integrated rather than separate, improving the overall flow of the kitchen.

​

Is Kitchen Refinishing Right for Your Home?

Kitchen spray refinishing is ideal for homes where:

• The layout works well

• Cabinets are solid and structurally sound

• Doors are good quality but dated in colour

• Homeowners want a major visual change without full replacement

This Radyr project is a great example of how a professional colour change can modernise a kitchen while keeping the original cabinetry in place.

 

Durable, Workshop-Applied Kitchen Finishes

All doors, drawer fronts and removable elements were refinished in our spray workshop under controlled conditions. We use durable, furniture-grade coatings designed specifically for kitchens — resistant to moisture, heat and everyday wear.

This approach provides a higher level of consistency and longevity compared to brush or roller painting carried out on site.

 

Kitchen Refinishing in Radyr and Cardiff

We regularly carry out kitchen refinishing projects in Radyr and across Cardiff for homeowners looking to update high-quality existing kitchens. Workshop spray refinishing is particularly popular in established homes where the cabinetry is well made but the colour scheme feels dated.
