Designing an interior goes well beyond physical form – architects know that a carefully chosen colour palette dictates how a space is truly experienced.
Whether a brief calls for a calm, restorative environment or a dynamic commercial zone, the demand for premium materials that actively shape these settings is growing rapidly.
Meeting this demand, Maxiply has reimagined its signature plywood panels with the expansion of the Maxi Colour range. Now featuring 26 distinct colours categorised into three curated palettes, the collection provides a comprehensive toolkit for contemporary interiors.
The latest addition is the highly anticipated pastels range, introducing sophisticated tones such as Buttercream, Soft Sage, Rose Mist and Blue Cotton. Rather than masking the timber with heavy paints, these custom tints are designed to let the organic grain of the plywood remain a visible focal point. This innovative approach blends the inherent warmth of natural wood with the expressive power of a tailored colour palette.
Drawing on three generations of timber expertise, Melbourne-based and family-owned Maxiply is dedicated to providing Australian architects with innovative, locally manufactured plywood solutions. As Business Development Manager Erin Donald explains, ‘We developed the new pastels range to give designers more flexibility in how they shape the atmosphere of a room. They wanted a way to introduce softer, contemporary colours into their projects while still maintaining the beautiful, organic texture and durability of natural timber. This expanded range allows them to do exactly that.’
The Maxi Colour range offers versatility across diverse project applications. The new pastel tones are perfectly suited for creating soothing environments in healthcare clinics, early learning centres and educational spaces. Conversely, vibrant options like Sunflower and Coral, alongside moody shades such as Black Onyx and Woodsmoke, deliver striking results in hospitality venues, vibrant community spaces and progressive corporate environments.
With all 26 colours available across a wide range of plywood panel options, the design possibilities are endless. Whether a project calls for the simplicity of Maxi Panel, the acoustic benefits of Maxi Perforated Panel, or the textured detailing of Maxi Clad, Maxi Line, Maxi Deco or Maxi Grid, selecting the perfect colour is effortless.
Beyond visual appeal, the Maxi Colour range delivers exceptional efficiency. Every panel arrives pre-finished and ready for installation, eliminating the need for on-site painting. Designed for durability, the panels are protected by Maxiply’s Intelligrain Coating system, a low-VOC, non-toxic hard-wax oil finish, ensuring the timber retains its quality over time and is simple to repair if scratched.
Choosing the right colours for a project is a significant decision, but when executed well, it will truly elevate a space. Ready to see how the right finish can transform your next design?
