Now Open: Lake District Sofas Arrives in Penrith

There is something exciting about opening the doors to a brand-new showroom, particularly when months of planning, designing and preparing finally come together.

We are delighted to announce that the new Lake District Sofas by Edward James showroom in Penrith is now open.

Located next to Booths and WCF, in the former Mountain Warehouse premises, the new showroom brings together 6,000 square feet of sofas, chairs, recliners, chaise longues and corner groups, displayed across two spacious floors.

It is our largest Lake District Sofas showroom to date and an exciting new chapter for our independent Cumbrian business.

Two Floors of Inspiration

The Penrith showroom has been created to offer much more than rows of furniture.

Across both floors, our sofas are presented in thoughtfully designed room settings, helping customers picture how different styles, colours and textures might look within their own homes.

There are modern, contemporary collections alongside more traditional designs, from deep and relaxed family sofas to supportive high-back models, elegant chairs and comfortable recliners.

Whether you are furnishing a country cottage, a modern apartment, a family living room or a quiet corner of your home, there is plenty to explore.

Most importantly, customers are encouraged to sit down, try the different models and take their time.

A sofa can look beautiful, but it also needs to feel right. Some people prefer a soft, relaxed seat, while others want firmer cushioning, a higher back or additional support.

Visiting the showroom gives you the opportunity to compare the collections properly and find the comfort that suits you.

A Celebration of Fabric and Colour

One of the most enjoyable parts of choosing a new sofa is selecting the fabric.

Our Penrith showroom is home to hundreds of gorgeous fabrics, with an extensive choice of colours, patterns and textures.

There are calming neutrals, warm earthy shades, rich greens, soft blues and bold statement colours, alongside classic checks, subtle weaves and tactile textures.

Many of our collections can be personalised with contrasting cushions, coordinating footstools and complementary accent chairs, allowing you to create something that feels considered and completely your own.

For busy homes, families and pet owners, we also offer practical easy-care and Aquaclean fabric options, designed to combine everyday durability with a beautiful finish.

Alongside our fabric collections, customers can explore a carefully curated selection of Italian leathers, chosen for their quality, character and timeless appeal.

Made the Lake District Way

At the heart of Lake District Sofas is a belief that furniture should be made for real homes and real life. Our British-made sofa collections bring together quality craftsmanship, carefully selected materials and lasting comfort. From the construction of the frame to the cushioning, stitching and finishing touches, every detail matters.

This approach is what we call Made the Lake District Way.

It means sofas that look beautiful, feel comfortable and are designed to be enjoyed for years to come. It also means friendly advice, honest guidance and a relaxed showroom experience without pressure.

Our team in Penrith is available to help customers compare sizes, configurations, fabrics and comfort options, whether they arrive with a clear idea or simply want to browse and gather inspiration.

From Cumbria to Homes Across the Country

Although Lake District Sofas is proudly rooted in Cumbria, our furniture is delivered to homes throughout the country.

Our free nationwide delivery service includes bringing your new sofa into your home, positioning it in the room of your choice and removing the packaging afterwards.

It is all part of making the experience as straightforward and enjoyable as possible, from your first showroom visit to the moment your new sofa is ready to enjoy.
