Coming home to Classic comfort
There’s a reason we return to the classics – they make us feel at home. The Classic palette is a study in timeless design with a fresh, modern edge. Dove-grey tones, elegant finishes and subtle textures create spaces that remain calm without ever being too formal.
It’s the perfect balance for families or couples who want a home with presence – refined but still relaxed, grown-up but never stiff. From breezy kitchens to inviting living areas, Classic gives you a backdrop that’s both versatile and enduring.
Classic is ideal for those who love the Hamptons look, merging the best parts of coastal charm and country warmth.

A foundation of sophistication
The Classic palette brings together design notes that have stood the test of time – muted-grey cabinetry, travertine-inspired tiles with gentle veining, and soft neutral finishes that carry through every room. These elements are designed to evoke a sense of calm and bring a quiet polish to every space.
The style doesn’t stop at the inclusions. This palette invites you to make it personal, layering in coastal blues, fine stripes, or patterns like tartan and checks in home furnishings. Timber VJ panelling or cladding can lift the look further, bringing a relaxed country-meets-coast character into modern family life.
We wanted this palette to feel fresh and bright – a base that feels stylish but also easy to make your own.
Made for those who love easy living
Classic is for those who dream of coming home after a day at the beach, kicking off sandy shoes and sinking into spaces that feels like home. It’s equally for families who want interiors that grow with them, or couples who love entertaining without formality.
Think long Sunday lunches that drift into the afternoon, or curling up in a quiet nook as the skies turn grey overhead. This palette speaks to the rhythm of both lively gatherings and peaceful reflection – confident, considered and always in style.
This palette is ideal for couples or families seeking an enduring style, welcoming you home with a grown-up ambience.
Adding richness with upgrades
For those who want to heighten the effect, upgrades add new layers of refinement. Polytec ‘District Oak Woodmatt’ overhead cabinetry introduces a rich timber tone, creating contrast against the lighter base and lending the kitchen deeper sophistication. Tile arrangements – from subway to herringbone patterns – add another dimension, giving subtle nods to heritage design while keeping the overall scheme energised and relevant.
The upgrades add that extra dimension – subtle details that give your home more character while staying true to the Classic feel.
A home with lasting charm
Externally, the palette picks up on cool coastal tones – cream bricks, silver-grey accents and a stormy-grey roof in both tile and metal that carries a touch of drama. The result is light, breezy and confident, with contrast that enhances the home’s street presence.
There’s something about the exterior that feels instantly welcoming – whether you’re coming home from a day at the beach or arriving back after work as the evening settles in, it sets the tone for a place you want to step into.
