CAPRAMONT & CO — SPECIFIER SELECTOR

DARK WOODS & PAINTED FRONTS — 30-SECOND DECISION CARD

Best for — Dark joinery, painted cabinetry and mixed-material schemes.

Format rule — Bright finishes highlight edges · Dark finishes create a quiet architectural read.

Centres — Standardise centres to avoid visual “noise” across a run.

Placement — Painted fronts show misalignment—keep one strict datum line.

Finish direction — Brushed/satin finishes are more forgiving on daily touch points.

Specifier notes — Avoid tiny knobs disappearing on dark timber unless intentional · Heritage finishes: made to order 4–6 weeks · Atelier metals + customisation: 6–8 weeks.
