Warm new neutral and understated metallic finishes give retailers new ways to create contemporary kitchen schemes.
The largest privately owned fitted furniture manufacturer in the UK, Symphony Group is expanding its Melrose kitchen collection with the introduction of Macadamia and new Soft Gold finishing details, responding to growing consumer demand for warmer, softer colours and finishes within the kitchen.
Available now, Macadamia is a soft, creamy beige with warm, nutty undertones. It brings added warmth to the clean, contemporary styling of Melrose while offering retailers a highly versatile colour that can be specified across a wide range of kitchen schemes.
The launch reflects the continuing move away from cooler greys towards warmer natural tones within interiors. Neutral enough to appeal to a broad customer base, Macadamia can be paired with different work surfaces, flooring and accessories to create looks ranging from pared-back contemporary to softer, more luxurious schemes.
Melrose’s clean, modern styling makes it particularly suited to this trend-led colour direction, delivering a streamlined aesthetic that allows finishes, work surfaces and accessories to define the overall character of the kitchen.
Alongside Macadamia, Symphony has introduced new Soft Gold finishing details. Building on the enduring popularity of brass within kitchen design, Soft Gold reflects the move towards softer, more understated metallics, offering a warmer and more neutral alternative to brighter brass tones.
Soft Gold inline handle trims provide a seamless, handleless look with a subtle metallic finish, while Soft Gold glazed cabinets introduce a decorative focal point and an additional layer of depth and sophistication. Used with Macadamia, the finish allows retailers to create a coordinated, tonal scheme that taps into the wider trend for warm, natural interiors.
Simon Collyns, Marketing and Retail Sales Director at Symphony Group, commented:
“Warm, natural neutrals are a key direction in kitchen design and we are seeing customers looking for colours that feel softer and more inviting while retaining the versatility of a neutral palette.
“Macadamia gives our retail partners another very commercial option within Melrose. Soft Gold complements that move towards warmer interiors, offering a more understated interpretation of the brass trend and giving retailers another way to create a more individual and premium-looking scheme.”
Both Macadamia and Soft Gold finishes are available now in the Symphony Melrose collection.
