Sprawling architecture and opulent spaces make the The Fitz Country House the perfect setting for special celebrations. From the moment you step foot through the grand entrance, flanked by statuesque lions, the captivating character of the house and its interiors will capture every inch of your imagination.
With this level of detail and quality, the furnishings are both well-considered and have to set the right tone for the elegance of the interiors - we think this beautiful, classic chaise 'fitz' perfectly.


Hospital education centre has gone the extra mile to ensure the safety of staff and students with the help of a specialist upholstery firm Ghyll House Upholstery and Design. Chairs and seats at the James George Education Centre at the Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle have been reupholstered in an easy-to-clean, antimicrobial surface to help prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus.

The historic 42-bedroom pub with rooms reopened following an 18-month redevelopment. As part of the work, the Ghyll House team created curtains and blinds throughout the venue, and recovered chairs in the bedrooms and fixed seating in the bar area. Joe McAlpine, Ghyll House general manager, said: “It was great to be part of such a big project in the heart of the Lake District. We were able to use our expertise to deliver stylish and practical upholstery and soft furnishings as part of this major refurbishment.” Joe and the Ghyll House team worked on dozens of pieces of furniture at their base at Mealsgate, near Cockermouth, using a specific palette of fabrics, which was in keeping with the new look of the inn. The team have extensive experience in the hospitality sector, working with a range of hotel, leisure and other businesses across the north of England and Scotland to create quality, on-brand interiors for clients.
