Few designers balance history, craftsmanship, and contemporary living as effortlessly as Kit Kemp. Known for her richly layered interiors, fearless use of pattern, and distinctive British design perspective, Kit Kemp continues to influence the world of luxury interiors through her celebrated collaborations with GP & J Baker.
The latest historically inspired collection draws upon the enduring beauty of traditional decorative arts, reinterpreting archival motifs and heritage influences for today’s homes. The result is a collection that feels both timeless and fresh—perfect for homeowners, interior designers, and design enthusiasts seeking fabrics and wallpapers with character, depth, and lasting appeal.
The Enduring Appeal of Historical Design
Historical patterns have long played a significant role in interior decoration. From hand-drawn florals and decorative embroideries to folkloric motifs and artisan-inspired details, these designs connect modern interiors to centuries of craftsmanship and artistic tradition.
Kit Kemp’s approach is never about simply reproducing the past. Instead, she reimagines historic influences through a contemporary lens, introducing fresh color palettes, playful scale shifts, and unexpected combinations that feel entirely relevant for modern living.
This balance between heritage and innovation has become one of the defining characteristics of the Kit Kemp aesthetic
A Celebration of Craftsmanship
The collection reflects GP & J Baker’s longstanding reputation for exceptional quality and decorative excellence. Rich textures, detailed prints, and thoughtfully curated colorways create fabrics and wallcoverings that bring warmth, personality, and visual interest to any room.
Whether used for upholstery, drapery, decorative accents, or statement walls, these designs offer a sophisticated alternative to fleeting trends. Their historical roots provide a sense of permanence while their updated presentation ensures they remain versatile and approachable.
Bringing Character to Modern Interiors
One of the most appealing aspects of Kit Kemp fabrics and wallpapers is their ability to create interiors that feel collected rather than decorated. These designs work beautifully in traditional homes, transitional spaces, English country-inspired interiors, and contemporary settings that benefit from layers of pattern and texture.
Designers often use Kit Kemp patterns to:
Create statement upholstery pieces
Add depth through layered textiles
Introduce artisan-inspired detailing
Bring color and personality to neutral interiors
Combine traditional influences with contemporary furnishings
The result is an interior that feels unique, inviting, and deeply personal.
