Can I use a photo of the tile or marble I am actually considering?

Yes. The worktop, splashback, cabinets, floor and wall each take a photo of the material you are considering. It becomes a repeating tile across that surface, with a slider for how often it repeats, and it shows in the 3D view that a realistic render starts from. It is a tile, not a slab at true scale: good for seeing the pattern and colour across your kitchen, not for judging where a vein will fall on your worktop. No photo? Pick any colour instead, with the veining or grout colour alongside it.

Will the colour on screen match the real material?

Not exactly, and no screen can promise that. The catalogue colours are honest approximations under the 3D scene's lighting, and a realistic render lights them like a photograph. Use the picture to decide between options, then look at the physical sample before you order.

Do you sell any of these materials?

No. Setout Kitchen ships no material catalogue of its own and has no supplier relationships. The swatches are planning placeholders named by their look, so you can carry a choice to any showroom.

What happens to my finishes in a realistic render?

You choose. Let the theme pick every colour, the way its sample was made, or keep the finishes from the Finishes tab and let the theme change only the door style, hardware, ceiling, lighting and styling. The studio shows both options before a credit is spent.

Materials

See the finish on your whole kitchen, not on a sample the size of a postcard.

Every surface in the 3D view is a real choice: cabinet fronts, worktop, splashback, floor and wall paint. Pick from the catalogue, mix any colour with its veining or grout, and the same finishes travel with the realistic render so the picture comes back in your colours.

Materials

See the finish on the whole run, not a postcard.

The counter is the decision people regret, and it is usually made from a sample the size of a postcard. Pick from the catalogue or mix your own colour, then see it across your whole measured run in 3D and carried through to a realistic render.

Cabinet fronts, worktops, splashbacks and floors, each with a plain name and its finish. Enough to design a whole kitchen without uploading anything.

Finishes

Any colour, on your own room

Choose cabinet fronts, worktop, splashback and floor from the catalogue, or mix your own colour on any surface — including the veining in the stone and the grout between the tiles. Your choices travel with a realistic render, so the picture comes back in the colours you picked rather than whatever the theme fancied.

The catalogue

Five surfaces, named by their look.

Three presets set all five at once: Sage & limestone, Chalk & charcoal, Warm oak & cream. Change any surface afterwards and the preset shows as customised, with a way back.

Materials in the catalogue by surface
Surface	In the catalogue	Notes
Cabinets	Sage, Chalk, Warm oak, Ink	Painted or wood-grain fronts. Side panels, plinths and cabinet bodies can differ from the doors.
Worktop	Ink Black, Graphite, Alabaster, Amber Vein, Deep Forest, Warm Sand, Limestone, Charcoal, Cream quartz	Veined, speckled and engineered stones. An island or one run can take a different stone from the rest.
Splashback	Gloss White, Ivory, Sage, Terracotta, Graphite, Oat	Matte and gloss tiles with a grout colour of their own. The tiled height is set per wall.
Floor	Porcelain, Ash Grey, Sandstone, Ivory, Walnut, Sand porcelain, Oat porcelain, Stone porcelain	Porcelain, stone and timber tones with a grout line.
Walls	Linen, Warm White, Greige, Sage Mist, Pale Sky, Blush, Clay, Slate	Wall paint, drawn with a skirting and cornice so the room reads as painted rather than as a backdrop.

Names describe the look, not a supplier's product. Wood grain, stone veining and tile grout are drawn procedurally in 3D, so the pattern runs across joints at true size.

Your own colour

Mix any colour, with the veining or the grout beside it.

Every surface has a colour picker. A worktop takes a second colour for its veining or fleck, a splashback for its grout, and the finish word, matte, gloss or wood grain, decides how the light sits on it. The 3D view updates as you drag.

You can also photograph a material and use the photo as a repeating tile on any surface. It is a tile, not a slab at true scale: good for seeing a pattern and colour across the room, not for judging where a vein will fall on your worktop.

In the render

Theme colours, or your finishes kept. Your call, before a credit is spent.

The same island kitchen, rendered twice from the same 3D view. On the left the Modern theme chose every colour. On the right the Japandi theme kept the project's own Sage cabinets and limestone worktop and changed only the door style, ceiling, lighting and styling.

Realistic render of an island kitchen in the Modern theme, with graphite handleless cabinets, a white quartz worktop and a recessed tray ceiling with cove lighting — **Theme colours** · Modern theme, colours chosen by the theme

Realistic render of the same island kitchen in the Japandi theme, keeping the project's sage cabinets and limestone worktop, with a slatted timber ceiling and paper pendants — **Finishes kept** · Japandi theme, the project's Sage and limestone kept

Both images are unedited output from the planner, generated on 18 September 2026 from the island starter layout. A render is an AI-generated visualisation of the model, not a photograph of a built kitchen; the dimensioned plan stays the record. Read how it works on the rendering page.

The wall is still bare. That is the good news.
