Material finishes

Surfaces and hardware chosen for Swedish daylight, daily wear, and apartment humidity swings.

Front options

Pale gray paint

Calm against white walls common in Stockholm rentals; hides dust better than pure white.

Oak veneer

Warm grain for Östermalm renovations where clients want a joinery character without full hardwood doors.

Navy accent panels

Used sparingly on centre doors or walk-in end panels — pairs with soft gold handles.

Carcass and interiors

We specify moisture-resistant boards for entry units and standard furniture-grade carcasses for bedrooms. Interior colours stay light so dark winter clothing remains visible. Optional linen-backed panels soften the look of open shelves.

Hardware

Soft-close as standard

Hinges and drawer runners that quiet early mornings in thin-walled buildings — appreciated by neighbours and light sleepers alike.

Handle finishes

Brushed soft gold (#C4A574 family), matte black, or oak knobs. Samples live at Odengatan 65 for side-by-side comparison under daylight lamps.

Compared with flat-pack

IKEA-adjacent systems offer speed; our finishes add thicker edge banding, tighter filler panels against uneven plaster, and hardware rated for heavier seasonal coats. Many projects blend both — keep a proven frame, upgrade what you touch every day.

Care notes

  • Wipe painted fronts with a damp microfibre cloth
  • Oil oak annually if you choose untreated edges
  • Vacuum shoe shelves before spring storage rotation
