What’s New in Door Styles?

NEW Textured Surface Door called: LOOK

One of the new budget‑friendly fronts is LOOK, which features a textured surface (rather than ultra‑smooth lacquer) that invites touch. It comes in sand and coffee tones, bringing tactile interest at a lower cost tier.

The texture helps mask fingerprints, adds visual richness, and gives a ceramic‑like feel in its best incarnation.

Expanded SOFTLINE Lacquer Range

SOFTLINE, known for its matt lacquer finish and anti‑fingerprint properties, is extended with two more colours:

  • SOFTLINE 504 — lacquer, perfect honed sand
  • SOFTLINE 505 — lacquer, perfect honed coffee

These additions allow the matt, understated finish to be accessible in the trend tones.

New Shaker Style Grained Door called: FRAME

Nobilia is also renewing its cottage / frame front range with cleaner, more modern interpretations. Six new frame‑style fronts are added.

These maintain the charm of framed (panelled) doors but with more streamlined detailing so they don’t feel overly ornate. In images you can see soft, neutral frame fronts that retain a classic essence with a contemporary twist (e.g. subtle grooves, flat stiles).

Handleless + Recessed Profiles / LINE One

For those seeking maximum visual calm, the LINE One system (handleless with push‑to‑open) is extended with new colours and profiles. For example, a LINE One recessed handle in macchiato is among the new options.

This permits a completely flush, handle‑free facade in warmer, natural tones rather than stark white or grey.

Glass / Display Fronts

In addition, Nobilia introduces the Glass Cabinet Air unit: a filigree aluminium frame (typically black) with integrated handle profile and fully concealed hinges, creating an almost floating look for display cabinets.

When used for upper or accent segments, these glass fronts offer contrast to the solid fronts and let you highlight dishware or decorative objects.

New & Highlight Colours in 2026

One of the most talked‑about shifts for 2026 is the move toward warmer natural tones, soft earthy hues, and a more nuanced neutral palette. Below are the key colour additions and spotlight tones.

Trend Colours: Sand, Macchiato & Coffee

  • Sand textured: a warm, soft beige tone with a light texture that gives subtle depth. (Often paired with the LOOK front)
  • Macchiato: a muted, warm beige / latte‑toned hue. In images (e.g. upper right), you’ll see kitchens with macchiato fronts and tone‑on‑tone wall panelling and recessed handles.
  • Coffee textured: deeper, earthier brown with texture — gives a sense of grounding and warmth.

These three colours anchor the 2026 palette in softness and natural comfort, moving away from stark white / cool grey dominance.

Premium Lacquer & High Gloss Highlights

  • LASER 412 (Macchiato) — macchiato in the LASER line, offering a smoother lacquer surface.
  • SENSO 483 — lacquer, premium honed macchiato (for higher-end applications)
  • NOVALUX 513 (Taupe Grey High Gloss) — a warm grey in high gloss, adding a more elevated contrast in the palette.

Core Neutrals & Supporting Tones

While new earth tones are highlighted, Nobilia also retains and updates classic neutrals:

  • Taupe Grey — remains important; new versions integrated in more fronts.
  • White / Off‑White — still fundamental in the palette for balancing lighter kitchens or mixing with warmer tones.

What These Changes Mean for Kitchen Design

Richer Neutrals, Less Contrast Shock

Instead of high contrast (black + white), the 2026 range leans toward tone-on-tone harmony. Warm neutrals blend more softly with walls, panels, and surrounding décor, making transitions gentler.

Textures Matter

By offering textured and structured surfaces (like LOOK), Nobilia gives designers a way to add interest without resorting to bold colours. Texture brings light and shadow, helps with finger marks, and softens the overall effect.

Broader Access to Designer Tones

Previously, some of these colours or finishes (e.g. perfect honed lacquer) may have been limited to premium tiers. Now they’re being pushed into more accessible product lines (e.g. adding coffee and sand to SOFTLINE) so more customers can enjoy higher finishes.

Flexibility in Style Mix

Because Nobilia offers new frame (cottage) fronts, handleless options, glass display elements, and a richer palette, designers have more flexibility. A kitchen might mix a macchiato frame front with a textured base, or insert a glass front accent — yet remain cohesive because of the unified colour system.
