WINDERMERE'S award-winning designer Alison Tordoff has launched an exclusive new home decor range for lovers of the Lake District.

The Love District is a new label from Alison Tordoff’s Fidget Design which celebrates the history, culture and landscape of the Cumbrian fells and lakes.

It includes a distinctive “Lakeland bookends” wallpaper, with matching aprons and tea towels, along with cushions and other home décor fabrics.

Cushions are decorated with outlines of the Lakeland fells, including Catbells, Haystacks, and the iconic view of the mountains at the head of Wast Water.

“The ideas for this new label were inspired by Cumbria and the Lakes,” said Alison.

“I am passionate about the Lake District and its rich culture of art, history and literature, as well as the landscape.”

Based in Windermere, Fidget Design has won national and international awards including best hotel interior in the International Hotel Awards. Alison also designed the award-winning Serenity Spa at the exclusive Seaham Hall Hotel in the north-east.

Items from the Love District range can be bought from the website, www.thelovedistrict.com.

A percentage of the initial sales of the new range will go to the charity Lupus UK, which is researching causes and possible cures of the complex auto-immune disease.
