A uniquely talented designer and needlewoman, she set up her business in the beautiful English Lake District
17 years ago. Now based at The Old Barn, near Kirkby Lonsdale, she works with a team of ten to create high quality interiors for clients worldwide, through individual consultation and personalised advice. With access to a huge portfolio of styles and swatches, Dorothy can create interiors to suit all tastes – from contemporary pads to country cottages, corporate business retreats to stately homes.

On top of interior design, Dorothy’s service includes fine furnishings and all the finishing touches.
