Luxury home accessories and soft furnishings business, Gemma Packham Interiors in Kendal, has moved from its town centre shop to a brand-new showroom on Shap Road. Along with the move, the business has introduced its new brand, Inkwood Interiors. The new space showcases an eclectic mix of opulent fabrics, stylish lighting and home accessories, all by a range of leading British and International brands.
A business with a 25 year history in the local area, Inkwood Interiors started in the early 1980s as ‘Linen Stop’, a store located in Kendal town centre specialising in curtains and other window dressings. Fast forward to 2023, our existing loyal customers can expect the same quality service in a new location with a vastly greater product range.
Inkwood Interiors offers bespoke and made to measure services to help customers achieve their interiors inspiration, whether that is by making a simple pair of curtains or redesigning a room for an exciting new look. The experienced team pride themselves on quality and design, and specialises in many projects from domestic, hotel, restaurants, holiday homes, golf courses and schools.
