Keelie Cloudburst Smoke Glaze is Kitchen Craft's soft mid-gray finish on the Keelie Shaker door, with a hand-applied smoke glaze that settles into the panel reveal. The smoke glaze runs warmer than the brand's pewter glaze and softer than its black glaze, giving the kitchen a quietly refined hand-finished character.
Where Smoke Glaze Lands Among the Glaze Options
The brand offers Cloudburst in three glaze variants on the Keelie door: smoke (warm brown-gray), pewter (cool gray-brown), and black (high contrast). Smoke glaze sits at the warm end of that spectrum, with a softer brown pigment that bridges between the cool gray base and warmer surrounding palette elements. That warmth makes smoke glaze the most flexible choice for kitchens leaning warm or with cream-painted millwork.

Designed For
Keelie Cloudburst Smoke Glaze carries transitional kitchens that want hand-finished character with warm undertone, primary bath vanities, and homes with cream-painted millwork or warm wood floors that should coordinate with the cabinetry. It pairs comfortably with marble-look quartz with warm veining, leathered granite, unlacquered brass or warm nickel hardware, and oak or walnut flooring. Polished chrome can read cold against the warm smoke glaze.
Variation Notes
Hand-glazed finishes vary intentionally between doors. Smoke glazes vary even more visibly than black glazes because the warm pigment reads differently across bulb temperatures. Order a sample door and view both the gray base and the smoke glaze under your kitchen's actual evening lighting before locking the order, since the warm-cool balance shifts between LED color temperatures.
