When designing a bathroom or laundry, choosing the right colour for your bathroom vanity or laundry cabinetry is one of the most effective ways to create a space that feels cohesive, timeless and uniquely yours. While white and neutral finishes remain popular, more homeowners, architects and interior designers are choosing custom colour bathroom vanities and laundry furniture to create spaces with greater personality and individuality. Bath Co's New Zealand-made Custom Colour Service allows customers to specify selected bathroom and laundry furniture in virtually any paint colour, creating bespoke pieces tailored to the overall design vision of the project.design vision.

Design Bathroom & Laundry Furniture in Any Colour

A carefully selected colour can completely transform the feel of a room. Whether it's a soft sage green that connects with natural materials, a sophisticated charcoal that adds depth, or a bold feature colour that creates a focal point, Bath Co's Custom Colour service allows your bathroom and laundry furniture to become part of the overall design story.

Our Custom Colour service goes beyond simply choosing a paint finish. It includes our unique Duotone option, offering even greater design flexibility for those wanting a truly bespoke look.

Rather than being limited to a standard palette, you can select colours from major paint manufacturers, allowing your furniture to coordinate seamlessly with tiles, wall finishes, tapware and architectural details throughout your home.

Durable Custom Painted Bathroom & Laundry Furniture

Every Custom Colour piece is designed, painted and hand-finished in New Zealand using Bath Co's specialised polyurethane coating system, now enhanced through our new premium paint line, developed to deliver improved depth of colour, consistency, and long-term durability across a wider range of finishes.

Customers can choose from a variety of finish options including matte, gloss and selected metallic finishes, depending on the collection. This flexibility allows designers to achieve the exact look and feel required for their project, while maintaining consistency with the broader interior palette.

The result is a durable, high-quality finish designed to withstand the demands of everyday use while maintaining its appearance for years to come, with enhanced colour performance and a refined surface finish through our updated coating system.

FAQs

  • Can I choose any colour for my Custom Colour cabinetry?
    Absolutely! You can choose any colour from a paint manufacturer's swatches, and Bath Co will match the colour for your cabinetry.
  • How accurate is the Custom Colour matching process?
    Bath Co uses precise colour-matching techniques to ensure the closest possible match to your chosen paint colour. While we strive for accuracy, slight variations may occur due to factors such as lighting, paint finish and material differences. We recommend viewing a paint sample in your chosen space and lighting conditions to ensure you’re satisfied with the colour and finish.

We can provide you with a sample (300 x 210 mm) for an additional cost to ensure it meets your expectations before finalising your order. If you proceed with the vanity order, a percentage of the sample’s cost will be deducted from the vanity price. Enquire with one of our merchants for exact pricing.

    Once an order is confirmed and production has started, we are unable to make changes. If you have uncertainties about your colour choice, we recommend acquiring a paint sample from us for an additional cost to confirm your selection.
  • Can I return my Custom Colour order if I change my mind?
