The walls your guests actually look at
Prints and big canvases of the Lake District for cottages, hotels, bars, restaurants, surgeries and care homes — of the places on your own doorstep, made to order and delivered ready to hang.
Art for Lakeland Businesses
One lit canvas changes the whole evening
A slim picture light over a big painting does more for a dining room than any amount of decor. People photograph it. They ask where it is. And because it is the lake up the road, you get to tell them.
Where it goes
Every picture below is of somewhere within half an hour of the business it is hanging in — the lake down the road, the fell out of the back window. That is the part worth knowing: tell us where you are and we will show you what we have of it, and if we haven't painted it yet, we will.

Which style suits your room?
Forty-nine Lakeland styles, and they are not interchangeable. The stark, graphic piece that makes a dental practice look considered would fight a beamed pub; the thick impasto oil that warms a tea room would be too loud in a treatment room. Here are three we come back to, all shown on the same wall in the same light so you can actually compare them.

ModernObsidian Solitude
by Adelaide Calloway
Minimal and graphic: monumental black fells against bright sky, with a single pop of red. It reads cleanly from the far side of a room and holds its own against concrete, glass and pale oak.
Suits contemporary receptions, dental and medical practices, offices, salons, modern restaurants.
-
TraditionalPrismatic Impasto
by Celia Harding
Thick oil brushwork in saturated oranges, purples and golds — an impressionist's Lakeland. Warm, generous and painterly, it does to a room roughly what a lit fire does.
Suits pubs and inns, tea rooms, cottage sitting rooms, B&B breakfast rooms.
-
CalmSlate & Rosewater
by Alistair Thorne
Quiet, still and atmospheric — soft slate and dusty rose, no hard edges anywhere. Made for rooms where people are waiting, or resting, and would rather not be shouted at.
Suits GP surgeries, care homes, physiotherapy and treatment rooms, hotel bedrooms.
Tell us the room and we will suggest the rest — there are forty-six more, and we will narrow them down for you rather than making you scroll.
The thing people look at while they wait
A panorama gives a busy room somewhere to rest. It works hardest exactly where people stand about — the counter, the corridor, the turn of the stairs — and at 152cm wide it is the one thing in the room that isn't moving.
See it on your wall before you buy
The hardest part of buying art for a room is knowing how big it needs to be, and almost everyone guesses too small. Send us a photograph of the wall and we'll come back with the pieces on it at the size they would really be — 40, 70 or 90cm square, or a panorama up to 152cm across.
Join the trade list
Tell us a little about your business and we'll come back to you — usually the same day, from a person, not a form. Joining puts you on the trade list too: your discount in the first email, then the occasional offer a few times a year. Nothing more than that, and you can leave whenever you like.
