• Yeah I think all the forum chat makes everyone's mental imagine default to nice baltic birch with a matt Danish oil finish, rather than mid-reddy-naff-brown.

    The obvious solution is to just paint it or add a laminate that matches your cabinets. Even if that laminate is say a 5mm layer of the same type of ply as your cupboards.

    Nice neat hinges and fitting combined with the right door furniture will stop it looking shit.

  • Thanks for this, that's really useful. I'd really rather not have to fuss with laminating a door myself, and pretty sure the builder isn't going to want to, but it is an option I guess!

  • Find a joinery shop that can laminate thin birch ply to a solid core door. Very common to skin and lip blanks with hardwood veneer. You want the best finish grade ply tho to avoid patches / knots etc
