Dorothy Wightman

Dorothy Wightman offers inspired and bespoke Interior Design and an outstanding high quality service.
A uniquely talented designer and needlewoman, she set up her business in the beautiful English Lake District 20 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. She now has a range of products to choose from that are available online. From luxury bed linen, including the French chic of Yves Delorme and Lara (Italian),  as well has her own signature range, to antique lampshades, sumptuous towels and gorgeous glasses.

Based on the edge of the Lake District on the Cumbria/Lancashire border, Dorothy’s workshop is situated on the A65 in between Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale.  Onsite in an old barn is Dorothy’s workshop, as well a beautiful shop and studio where you can browse vast collections of fabrics, wallpaper and trimmings and buy beautiful gifts and artworks.
