Master Ensuite, Wadhurst: Kit Kemp Wallpaper and Hand-Painted Panelling

I recently completed the redecoration of this master en-suite in Wadhurst, a beautifully proportioned room with a freestanding roll-top bath, tongue and groove panelling and elegant sash windows.

As with any quality wallcovering, the finish depends on careful preparation. The walls were sanded and sealed, then cross-lined and sealed again, creating a flawless surface for the paper. The wallcovering is GP & J Baker x Kit Kemp Cubby, chosen for its fine woven texture and the understated warmth it lends the room.

The panelling is finished in Farrow & Ball Shaded White, with the ceiling in Wimborne White. For the skirting boards and architraves, Sanderson Dusky White was colour-matched in Tikkurila Helmi 10, my preferred finish for joinery, valued for its smooth, durable and refined appearance.

The result is a calm, considered space where the textured walls, soft painted panelling and natural light come together beautifully.
