Four new finishes. One timeless material.
Oak has always been one of the most requested materials in the Fronteriors collection. Warm. Tactile. Timeless. It works across kitchens, wardrobes, living spaces and bespoke storage. It pairs easily, ages beautifully, and brings genuine character to a room.
Which is exactly why we've added to more variety.
The Oak tones you've been asking for.
Our existing oak veneer stains (Natural Oak, Dark Oak and Burnt Umber Oak) have been among the strongest performers in the range. But over time, the requests kept coming. More warmth. More drama. More tonal range.
So we listened.
Charred, Smoked, Honey and Vanilla are the result. Four new stain colours developed to expand the palette, each one considered to work across a range of interiors and to sit beautifully alongside what was already there.
The new colours
CHARRED
Rich, dramatic and full of depth. Charred makes a statement, the darkest expression in the collection, for spaces that aren't afraid of drama. It works especially well for contemporary kitchens, media units and wardrobes where contrast and depth are key.
SMOKED
Nuanced and understated. Smoked brings soft, layered brown tones that add warmth and sophistication without ever overpowering a space. It's a strong choice for open-plan kitchens and living areas, where a softer, mid-toned wood helps the space feel grounded without dominating it.
HONEY
Golden and inviting. Honey captures the natural warmth of oak at its most welcoming, a finish that brings light and character in equal measure. It works particularly well in kitchens and bedrooms that benefit from extra warmth, especially in north-facing or lower-light rooms.
VANILLA
Soft, light and elegant. Vanilla is the gentlest shade in the palette, quietly refined, and perfectly suited to calm, contemporary interiors. It's an especially good fit for wardrobes, bathrooms and smaller spaces, where a lighter finish helps the room feel more open and airy.
The complete palette
Together with Natural Oak, Dark Oak and Burnt Umber Oak, the expanded collection now offers seven oak veneer stain options. From the rich depth of Charred to the soft elegance of Vanilla, a complete tonal spectrum, all in one authentic material choice.
Every finish is available across the Fronteriors oak veneer offering: kitchen fronts designed for the IKEA Metod/Sektion frame, wardrobe fronts for Pax, and storage solutions for Besta.
Order a sample
Choosing an oak stain is best done in your own light, in your own space. We always recommend ordering a sample before committing to a full order. Particularly with a new shade, where the relationship between stain and natural grain can vary from piece to piece.
