This week's design story!

Vero Sage - Honeyed Elemental

A warm, tonal interior palette built around the natural character of Vero Sage Authentic European Oak.

For this Canterbury inspired scheme, we paired the golden honey tones of Vero Sage with a collection of warm neutrals, natural textures and deep chocolate accents to create a home that feels calm, sunlit and contemporary.

The palette brings together:

Flooring: The Flooring Lab — Vero Sage, engineered European Oak
Walls: — Hog Bristle® Quarter
Accent colour: — Coffee Dust
Perimeter joinery: — Husk Matt
Island joinery: — Truffle Lini Matt
Benchtop: — Travina 551, Stone Finish
Tiles: — Atmosphere Zellige Clay Gloss
Carpet: — Hycraft Tranquil Texture, 510 Ocean Sand
Tapware: — PVD Brushed Nickel

Together, the finishes create a softer approach to contemporary design: creamy neutrals, honest timber, travertine inspired stone, textured wool and brushed nickel for a subtle cooler contrast.

The result is a space that feels soft, grounded and lived in rather than styled.

Vero Sage. True Oak. True Colour.

Eight brand new colourways of Authentic European Oak, each named for the mood it brings home: Sandstone, Ivory, Loom, Tawny, Sage, Ethereal, Ember and Cinder.

Soft and coastal or deep and dramatic, every Vero colour is created with ColourGrain RT, so the colour moves with the grain instead of hiding it. Generous 190mm wide boards, 2130mm long, finished with six coats of UV hardened, water based coating.

Day 5 of our new website.

ColourGrain RT. We don't stain timber. We activate it.

Colour should not hide the oak. It should reveal it. ColourGrain RT develops extraordinary depth and tone through advanced reactive colour technology, working with the natural character of the timber.

Day 3 of our new website.

OriginMark. Timber you can trace, back to the source.

Not all timber has the same origin. Two floors can look similar and still come from completely different supply chains. OriginMark brings that difference into the open, so you know what you are living on.
