Herringbone Introduces New Paint Range - Herringbone Paints

Herringbone is incredibly excited to introduce our very own paint colour range – Herringbone Paints. The range is exclusively available to Herringbone customers and features a total of 18 timeless colour choices. 

This is an unusual step for a furniture company but in true Herringbone style we continue to be a progressive family run business who moves with the times and listens to what our clients want.

The Herringbone Paints range 

The range features a total of 18 timeless paint colours and being a small family run business, it was important to Herringbone to make sure the colours referred back to our roots and had meaning. Each name has therefore been carefully chosen and means something special to us, a few examples include: 

  • Planted Tree Green: A colour to represent the tree that is planted for every kitchen we make 

  • Parade Pink: To show our love for Pride Canterbury and continued sponsorship of the event

  • Cliff White: Just up the road from the studio are the world famous White Cliffs of Dover 

  • Drum Belt Red: Inspired by the drum belts that sand the kitchens before paint 

  • Friday Night Green: inspired by a beer bottle we are partial too after work on a Friday, where we sometimes visit the local pub near the workshop.

The range will continue to be expanded on and will always be updated to fit the latest influences. Customer can still pick from outside this range, however it is often so difficult to choose from endless options, that a more refined range should help clients in choosing colours we know work well and stand the test of time. The range is extensive and designers will be able to recommend the best colour combinations for the choice of kitchen design. 

The Range

The range follows Herringbone’s environmental ethos promise 

As part of our ethos Herringbone has made a conscious decision from the beginning to only use water-based low VOC paint, which the new range continues to be. This again is very rare in this industry and while it was not the easy option, it stays true to the ethos.  To read more about Herringbone’s commitment to sustainability see here.

For each bespoke kitchen made we dedicate a tree to the National Forest, a regeneration project across 200 square miles in the Midlands. These are all small, but important, things Herringbone does to reduce our impact on the environment.
