Introducing the Kulör Collection:
Custom Painted Cabinet Doors by Modern Twig

One of the best ways to bring personality into your home is through color. It influences how we feel in a space. Are you energized, calmed, inspired, grounded…? Color sets the tone for how we experience a room.

Whether you’re drawn to earthy neutrals, bold primaries, or soft coastal hues, color gives you the power to express your unique style. That is why we are proud to introduce Kulör by Modern Twig, our new line of custom-painted doors—a simple, elevated way to personalize your space.

Why We Decided to Offer Painted Doors

At Modern Twig, our goal has always been twofold: to deliver high-quality, beautifully crafted products and to make the design process as smooth and stress-free as possible for our customers.

From the beginning, we’ve offered a smart alternative to custom cabinetry by pairing Ikea’s reliable, affordable cabinet frames with our elevated door fronts, trims, and panels. We started with a curated mix of styles and finishes: real wood veneers, matte thermofoil options, rich faux woods, and even paint-ready fronts for those who wanted full creative control.

But great design demands more flexibility.

We know many of our customers are dreaming in color—imagining sage green kitchens, deep blue vanities, or soft cream closets—but don’t want to take on the time or deal with the mess of painting doors themselves. So we are making it easier. Because giving you the power to design a space that’s entirely your own? That’s a no-brainer.

Our new painted door service opens up a world of color without the DIY hassle. Now, you can choose from a wide range of Sherwin-Williams paint colors (or request a custom match), and we’ll handle the sanding, priming, and painting in-house, delivering a smooth, satin-finish product that’s ready to install and enjoy.

About Modern Twig’s Kulör Collection

Our Kulör collection comes in all of our unfinished signature door styles:

  • Slab – ¾” thick MDF core with a refined maple edge banding
  • Shaker – ¾” thick maple frame in a classic 5-piece construction with an MDF center panel
  • Outline (Slim Shaker) – ¾” thick seamless MDF for a sleek, modern profile
  • We are also working on a few extraordinary new styles… stay tuned!

Sherwin-Williams is our paint brand of choice.

Every door is sanded, primed, and painted by hand, then finished with a smooth satin sheen that feels soft, is easy to clean, and adds a touch of understated elegance.

Before anything ships out, each painted door goes through a thorough quality check, ensuring it meets the craftsmanship standards Modern Twig is known for.

Why Sherwin-Williams

When it came time to select a paint partner, Sherwin-Williams was the clear choice. Their color library is expansive, their finishes are consistent, and their paints hold up well to everyday wear and tear.

Whether you’re into soft earth tones, warm neutrals, or dramatic pops of color, there’s a Sherwin-Williams shade with your name on it.

But if you’re already in love with a shade that’s not Sherwin-Williams, no problem. Just let us know and we’ll do our best to color-match it.

You can explore their website and use their color tools to find inspiration. It’s a great way to visualize how different hues might play out in your space.

“Are Painted Doors Any Good?”

We get this question all the time—and the short answer is: absolutely.

Painted doors are a fantastic option for many reasons, especially if you’re looking for flexibility, style, and long-term usability. Here’s why they’re a customer favorite:

  • Endlessly customizable: Choose any color from the Sherwin-Williams collection, or send us a swatch and we’ll do our best to color match it. The options are endless.
  • Easy to repair: Unlike thermofoil doors, which can be difficult to fix if damaged, painted doors can be easily touched up over time.
  • Repaintable: Want to refresh your space down the line? Painted doors can be repainted, making it easy to keep up with evolving trends or changing tastes.

Of course, like any cabinet finish, painted doors require proper care. But when they’re crafted and finished with intention, as ours are, they hold up beautifully.

How to Order Painted Doors

If you’ve worked with us before, ordering painted doors will feel completely familiar. If you’re new, don’t worry, our process is pretty straightforward.

We start with your Ikea plans. If your layout is already finalized, simply send us your files and schedule a call with a Modern Twig expert. From there, we’ll review your design and provide an estimate for your painted doors and panels.

Still in the planning phase? No problem. You can book a Design Service, and our expert team will help you bring your vision to life—from mapping out your Ikea project to selecting the right styles, colors, and materials.

Once your order is confirmed, we’ll begin production. Our painted doors currently have a 5–6 week lead time, which gives us the time we need to craft each piece with the precision and attention to detail you expect from Modern Twig.

Final Thoughts

At Modern Twig, we believe great design should be both beautiful and approachable. With our new custom-painted cabinet doors, we’re making it even easier to bring your personality into your space.

Our painted doors give you the freedom to create a space that reflects who you are. Make it bold. Make it yours. Make it home.
