Paul C Barber is a specialist kitchen painter and wallpaper hanger based in Northampton.
Paul has hand painted many kitchens for A Bell & Co Ltd of Kingsthorpe, and is a member of Traditional Painter and the Wallpaper Hangers Guild.
38 years in the decorating trade, and he is still as passionate about his profession as ever.

I have specialised in painted kitchens for 30 years now. A Bell & Co Ltd of Kingsthorpe are recognised as the leading bespoke kitchen company in Northamptonshire and I have hand-painted dozens of their new wooden kitchens over the past few years. I also re-paint custom-made kitchens, and refurbish well made but tired natural oak, pine and maple kitchens and fitted furniture, with hand painted finishes.

I have had the pleasure (and responsibility) of hanging hundreds of different types of wallpaper on ceilings, stairways, niches, and feature walls. There is a huge array of pastes and types of paper to choose from and the match has to be right, in every respect.

Since starting in the trade 38 years ago, I have focused on high end painting and decorating projects, from period property decorating, to heritage restoration, to country clubs, and prestigious modern homes. I even spent a year using traditional materials and techniques, decorating a brand new property that had been built in the authentic Georgian style.
Ornamental cornice work, coving, Lincrusta
There are many ways a professional decorator can add a touch of class or completely transform a space, and I have achieved excellent results from installing bespoke plasterwork, or Lincrusta relief wallcoverings to create a new dado or embellish a frieze or create highly decorative ceilings.
