Downstairs
A world of interiors.
The beautiful Old School Rooms on Sherborne’s
Long Street provides the perfect backdrop for
a world of interiors, created by designer Kitty
Oakshott. Kitty has been working in interior design,
both in London and in Dorset, for more than twenty
years and opened Upstairs Downstairs in 2012.
These days, it’s the essential destination for anyone
with a design project in mind.
Here at Upstairs Downstairs no job is too big or
too small. Kitty and her team will happily advise
and guide you through any interior decisions from
a single cushion to a whole house or hotel. We are
available to talk you through ideas at our shop or by
appointment to visit your home or business.
Upstairs, you’ll find a fabric showroom that’s all
about finding your perfect match, thanks to a
collection of more than 400 fabric and wallpaper
books. Stocking all the designer brands as well as
smaller, less well-known independent designers to
give you the widest possible choice. Once you’ve
chosen your fabric, Kitty and her team of expert
seamstresses and upholsterers will be more
than happy to discuss producing curtains, blinds,
headboards and all kinds of upholstery for your
home or business.
Downstairs spend a while browsing the selection
of beautiful home-ware, furniture, fascinating gifts,
jewellery and the other unique treasures of this
fabulous emporium.
