Kitchen Project – Colour Base & One Coat Wood Oil

Kitchen Project – Colour Base & One Coat Wood Oil

A striking kitchen and living space where the manufacturer applied Koate's Colour Base followed by our One Coat Wood Oil — a combination that delivers deep, saturated colour with the warmth and natural feel of an oiled finish.

The standout feature is the sculptural fluted island, finished in a rich dark tone using the Colour Base, then sealed with One Coat Wood Oil to enhance the grain and provide lasting protection. The curved form, paired with a terrazzo top and brass plinth detail, creates a centrepiece that is both functional and architectural.

The same finish runs through the surrounding cabinetry and joinery, tying the kitchen, pantry, and open-plan living areas together with a cohesive, considered palette. Natural oak elements — including the pantry surround and wall units — are left in their lighter tone to contrast the darker island and create visual depth throughout the space.
