Woodwork, staircases & panelling

Spindles, handrails, doors, frames and skirting take the most wear in a home, and they are where a careless finish shows first. Bailey gives woodwork the patience it needs.

What's included

  • Staircases: spindles, newel posts, handrails and strings
  • Internal doors, frames and skirting boards
  • Wall panelling, from half-height to full-height designs
  • Media walls and built-in cabinetry
  • Radiator covers, including curved and slatted designs
  • Bold contrasts, like charcoal frames around oak doors

A change of colour on the stairs

Staircases make a big difference to how a home feels. On the hallway below, white spindles and grey walls became a soft taupe gloss on the woodwork with cream walls, finished off with a new carpet. Drag the slider to see the difference.

Panelling and media walls

Panelling and built-ins need a finish that looks good up close. One recent media wall in Cliviger was finished in Crown Fast Flow Satinwood in Farrow & Ball's Elephant's Breath, with the shelves Osmo oiled. Bailey has also finished full-height wall panelling in soft mushroom tones and a navy media wall around a wall fire.
