Norfolk-based interior designer and DIY enthusiast Jack Kinsey is best known for transforming a run-down chapel into a delightful home brimming with joy and character. His is a project shared with millions of eager followers on Instagram and TikTok, blending time-proven elegance with a modern edge. Jack partnered with Naturewall to bring warmth, natural texture, and personality into his home across two renovation projects – a Magical Library and his Garden Office Escape.
From a cosy, book-filled library to a focused and stylish garden office, Jack has proven just how versatile our wall panels can be. His unique approach to design proves that with creativity, careful planning, and a little DIY daring, any space can be transformed into something extraordinary. We’re proud to collaborate with Jack and can’t wait to see more of his upcoming projects and ideas!
Jack’s first collaboration with Naturewall was to give his home library a unique, exciting and characterful edge - and it certainly was a success.
Where many use reeded wall panels to great effect as stand alone elements, Jack decided to use them differently. Jack was able to create a striking textured backdrop for the beautiful bookcases in his library. Since the panels come pre-primed, they were easily painted in a rich natural green to match the walls and bookcases.
Jack didn’t stop there. He also turned the same panels into a bespoke coffee table with a striking marble-effect top. By applying the cut panels to the sides, and finishing the surface with clever paint techniques, he achieved the look and elegance of real marble at a fraction of the cost. With its harmonious colours, tactile details, ingenious coffee table, and even a hidden door, this library is more than just a room - it’s become a sanctuary for relaxation and discovery.

When it came to furnishing the amazing nature-inspired garden office, Jack turned his attention to our Enriched Oiled SlatWall Panel Collection.
Rather than limiting the panels to the wall, Jack also fitted them to the ceiling. This clever approach makes the space feel both natural and cosy - the perfect atmosphere for concentration. The panels’ acoustic properties further enhance the room, creating a calm, practical, and focused workspace.

What 2026 Interiors Look Like...
While 2025 introduced plenty of inspiring trends, this year is pushing things even further.
Drawing on the combined insight of our in-house trend experts and Jack Kinsey, this year’s trends are a true collaboration, blending industry perspective with hands-on design experience to explore the interior landscape set to unfold in the months ahead.
With the projects complete, we sat down with Jack to uncover the design rules, smart shortcuts, and styling principles he applies to every space. Here’s what he shared...
“Some of the weirder spaces that I've gained inspiration from have actually been derelict spaces. Me and Alex used to go into a lot of derelict buildings and embrace how nature has reclaimed them and I think that's why I like to introduce a lot of plant life and a lot of natural elements into my home, which is why you'll find moss, ivy and lots of plants."
"Whilst you’ve got this blank canvas to work with, I’d look at it as a whole. Rather than honing everything in on one item, like a coffee table, and getting obsessed about one or two pieces, step back and thinking about larger scale things first. For instance, with panelling, bringing the this in almost as the first layer you then you can build on top away from the wall. So stand back, take in the whole space, and also remember it should be about what you want."
“So if you run a colour from the walls onto the ceiling as well, it makes it feel like a much larger space rather than breaking it up, already you're bringing that space down. Whereas if you embrace the height of a room, whether it's short or tall, it normally makes it feel bigger. Carrying that language on just lifts the whole space."
