New colours launched for Prime Melamine
Four stunning new timber decors take centre stage with the update of colours into our Prime Melamine range. With NKBA designers firmly backing timber designs as the leading trend for kitchens and bathrooms in 2025, this range update responds to that perfectly.
Three of the new woodgrain decors have been developed in response to requests from New Zealand designers for designs that will more closely match the most popular timber flooring options.
The same planked timber structure features in the warmly toned Tuscan Oak and the darker chocolate Bavarian Oak, making it an easy choice when two colour schemes are needed for multi-residential projects.
The colours of Tuscan Oak pair beautifully with warm berry and aubergine shades, soft pastels and dark brown while Bavarian oak offers a dramatic counterpoint to lighter toned benchtops and is available in a 24x12 HPL option.
Chestnut is a gorgeously rich and warm timber design with a walnut style grain that will bring any interior scheme to life. With a softly planked structure, its deep brown tones have subtle variations in shading and texture giving both depth and character. It’s versatile enough to pair with sleek modern finishes or traditional materials and will look stunning in any interior.
The fourth timber design is Northern Oak, a quarter-cut design in a natural oak tone that is designed to become a classic. Its clean and linear timber structure makes it an easy design to work with any style of interior and pairs well with marble, stone, concrete and solid colours in most hues, especially soft to mid-toned greens. This is also available in a 24x12 HPL option.
The solid colour line-up
Yes, green is having a moment—we won’t lie. That’s why we had to add Gully Green, a swoon-worthy shade with incredible depth and character. Whether used as a bold statement or a grounding neutral, Gully Green adds a fresh, timeless appeal to any interior.
Linden is a soft shade of green that will add a burst of freshness to any interior. Designed to pair with our new Tuscan Oak and Bavarian Oak, it packs a more dramatic punch when matched with solid colours like Anthracite or Black.
Illusion is a chameleon colour that will change depending on what you put next to it. One minute it can give you a hint of peach but can also appear as a dark cream or even taupe. Paired with the dark brown of our new Bavarian Oak it’s a stunner and with our new Chestnut it could deliver an Oscar-worthy supporting role.
Both laser and 1mm edgetape have been produced for the new colours. All four timber designs are sampled in our deeply textured Timberland finish, Illusion and Linden are sampled in velvet, with Gully Green in an embossed finish.
