About Paul Barber

Specialist kitchen and furniture painting.

About Me

For over 30 years I have specialised in hand-painted kitchens and fitted furniture across Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire. I have painted dozens of bespoke kitchens for A. Bell & Co. Ltd. of Kingsthorpe, one of Northamptonshire’s leading kitchen manufacturers, as well as transforming existing oak, pine, maple and custom-made kitchens with beautiful, durable hand-painted finishes.

With more than 40 years’ experience in the decorating trade, I have worked on prestigious projects throughout the UK, including many Grade I and Grade II listed properties. I hold the City & Guilds Craft Certificate with Distinction and remain as passionate about delivering exceptional workmanship today as when I first started.

Alongside specialist kitchen painting, I am an experienced wallpaper hanger and a member of both the Wallpaper Hangers Guild and the Traditional Painter network. Whether you’re considering a hand-painted kitchen or specialist wallpaper and fabric installation, I’m always happy to offer honest advice and guidance.

Today I also work alongside my son, whom I have personally trained to the same high standards of craftsmanship and attention to detail that have built my reputation over the last four decades.
