Mark Wilkinson Kitchen Refinishing in Pencoed –
Peignoir & Great White
This Mark Wilkinson kitchen in Pencoed had beautifully crafted cabinetry and a layout that continued to work well for its owners. Its existing painted finish needed attention, but the quality of the underlying joinery made it an excellent candidate for refinishing.
Following a colour consultation with interior designer Louise Misell, we refinished the cabinetry in Farrow & Ball Peignoir and Great White, preserving the kitchen’s original character while giving it a fresh, considered finish.
Designer-Led Colour Selection: Peignoir & Great White
Following consultation, Louise Misell specified Farrow & Ball Peignoir for the island and Great White for the surrounding cabinetry.
Peignoir provides a soft, architectural contrast that anchors the island, while Great White keeps the perimeter light and balanced against the vaulted ceiling and exposed timber beams. The dual-tone approach introduces depth without overpowering the space, allowing the joinery proportions and architectural detailing to remain the focus.
Refinishing a Bespoke Hand-Painted Kitchen
The kitchen’s original hand-painted cabinetry was well crafted and structurally sound. Refinishing offered a way to renew its appearance while retaining the joinery that made it distinctive.
Our work focused on careful preparation and a renewed painted finish, respecting the existing design and preserving the character of the Mark Wilkinson kitchen.
For owners of well-made cabinetry, this approach allows a new colour scheme to sit comfortably within an established kitchen.
Our Workshop Refinishing Process
For this Pencoed project, all doors and drawer fronts were carefully removed, labelled and documented before being transported to our dedicated spray workshop.
Each component was professionally prepared, primed and refinished using a durable, furniture-grade coating system applied under controlled conditions. Once fully cured, the cabinetry was reinstalled with close attention to alignment and detail.
By completing the majority of the work in our spray environment rather than entirely on-site, we achieved a smoother, more consistent and longer-lasting finish than traditional hand painting can provide.
The Finished Result
The refinished cabinetry now feels cleaner, more structured and architecturally balanced. The Peignoir island grounds the room, while Great White softens the surrounding units, creating a calm but intentional contrast within the open-plan space.
This Pencoed kitchen retains its bespoke craftsmanship while benefiting from a professional, workshop-applied finish built to withstand everyday use.
