Following the success of our PaintReady Stairparts range, we have created a new collection of ready-primed wall panelling kits designed to deliver faster and smoother finishes for interior design projects. Wall panelling is currently experiencing a comeback. An interior design style that is low-cost, easy to install and offers soundproofing and insulation benefits, panelling is a home improvement trend that is not looking to stop any time soon. For time-efficient and cost-effective DIY solutions, our PaintReady kits arrive ready for fitting, with no sanding, filling or priming needed, achieving a smoother, faster finish, streamlining the renovation process and expediting installations. Our accessible kits make creating a stylish home easy and with a 20% rise in women DIYers*, we pride ourselves on creating products that inspire design, mix style with functionality and are easy to use. Whether you are a seasoned craftswoman or a DIY novice, our kits make achieving your desired look simpler than ever. The collection features four distinctive wall panelling kits, significantly expanding design possibilities and DIY projects. Within these kits, versatile squares, elongated rectangles, and half-wall variations provide endless creative opportunities for homeowners to install easily. Users can experiment with various kit combinations to achieve the desired look, designed to allow you to effortlessly blend different kits and create a unique aesthetic ranging from traditional to contemporary or even eccentric styles. The high-quality mouldings are precisely cut and mitred to size, then coated with our new water-based primer, providing an ideal surface for paint application and final finishing.

Transforming your garden into a stylish and functional outdoor oasis doesn't have to break the bank. Here at Richard Burbidge, we’re embracing the rising trend of creating distinct ‘zones’ within outdoor spaces. This trend allows you to maximise every inch of your outdoor area by designating specific areas for different activities, whether it's dining under the stars, unwinding in a cosy lounge, or immersing yourself amongst some greenery. By defining these zones, you not only enhance the functionality of your garden but also elevate its aesthetic appeal, creating a seamless blend of practicality and style. Dining Zone Enhance your outdoor dining experience by adding a cosy dining zone to your garden. With a wide selection of metal, glass, or timber balustrades available here at Richard Burbidge, you can define your area and create a sense of separation from the rest of the garden. Complete the look with budget-friendly outdoor furniture and string lights for a warm and inviting space ready for dining in the summer months. Lounge Zone Create a relaxing lounge zone where you can unwind and enjoy the outdoors with the use of our metal or glass balustrades to help enclose the space and add privacy. Incorporate comfortable seating options like lounge chairs or outdoor sofas and accessorise with cushions and throws for added comfort. You could even consider adding a fire pit or outdoor heater to keep your space feeling cosier for longer. Nature Zone Bring a touch of nature to your garden by creating a greenery zone with potted plants and garden accessories.
