Stonetown

Stonetown Profile

Stonetown is a classic, versatile woodgrain design within the PG Bison MelaWood Value Range. It is a reliable staple for those looking for a clean, straight-grained aesthetic with a cool, modern color profile.

Aesthetic and Texture

Stonetown is a mid-tone grey woodgrain with very subtle, desaturated brown undertones. It mimics the look of weather-treated or stained timber, providing a neutral backdrop that fits easily into diverse design styles.

• Linear Finish: Stonetown is most commonly associated with the Linear finish. This texture features deep, straight grooves that run parallel to the grain. It emphasizes the “quarter-cut” look of the wood, where the growth rings appear as lines rather than bold “flames” or “cathedrals.”

• The Look: It offers a balanced, structured appearance. Because the grain is so straight and the color is neutral, it creates a sense of order and calm in a room, avoiding the “busy” look of more rustic woodgrains.

Design Applications

Stonetown is a high-utility color often chosen for large-scale projects and practical cabinetry:

• Office Furniture: A favorite for desk tops, pedestals, and filing cabinets because its neutral grey tone is professional and doesn’t distract.

• Internal Carcasses & Shelving: While it works for frontals, it is also frequently used for the “insides” of cupboards when a client wants something more premium than standard white but still cost-effective.

• Modern Kitchens: Ideal for lower cabinets or floor-to-ceiling pantry units, especially when paired with a light solid color for the upper units.

Recommended Pairings

Stonetown is a “chameleon” color that pairs well with almost any solid or stone:

• Clean Contrast: Pair with Iceberg White or Folkstone Grey. This highlights the grey tones in the Stonetown grain for a crisp, professional finish.

• Industrial Feel: Combine it with Luca Urban or Storm Grey. The grey-on-grey palette creates a sleek, industrial-chic vibe.

• Moody Tones: It works surprisingly well with Petrol Blue or Kalapana, where the dark solids pull out the deeper charcoal lines in the Stonetown texture.

• Hardware: Best suited to brushed stainless steel or satin chrome handles to match its cool-toned aesthetic.
