I am delighted that Tall Trees is now available as a fabric & wallpaper.
Having adorned the walls of Kit Kemp’s Firmdale Hotels Tall Trees now joins Kit Kemp’s eclectic 2024 Collection for GP&J Baker.
In addition to the original colourway, Tall Trees is now available in 4 wallpaper colourways and 3 fabric panel colourways.
This giant wallpaper will whisk you away to a deep enchanted forest.
Tall Trees tells a unique story allowing you a special treetop view surrounded by birds, mythical creatures and rolling hills fading into the distance. The scale is large but, as the colours are de-saturated and chalky, the scene cossets and comforts rather than overwhelms.
Designed for the Kit Kemp Collection with Melissa White.

The super-sized Tall Trees at Charlotte Street Hotel
The Charlotte Street Project in Brief
With the “Mythical Land” wallpaper successfully installed at the Whitby Hotel Kit and I embarked on a new design for her Bloomsbury themed hotel in the heart of Soho.
My brief was to design a 4m tall wallpaper for the double height Loft Suite which she was refurbishing. “Tall Trees” is another wooded landscape with trees reaching to the ceiling. Guests get to sleep in the treetops of the mezzanine bedroom whilst below rolling hills fade into the distance.
For the Whitby wallpaper I had incorporated Kit’s Mythical Creatures from her designs for Wedgewood and Chelsea Textiles. For Tall Trees some of them are re-imagined roaming this serene setting.
Whilst the scale is large the colours are desaturated and chalky so the scene acts as an enchanting backdrop to Kit’s distinctive room design.
