Since 1733...

...we have exclusively produced many of our own home linens to traditional and exacting specifications. This inherited knowledge is ours to share with you. The famous Woods ‘Pure Linen’ Dishcloth is just one example of our production values. Passed down through the generations and sold the world over and supplied to Royal Households and Landed Gentry.

A generous size, high-quality materials, durability and traditional styling elevates this dishcloth to its own plain.

Inherited inspiration.

As a little girl I remember visiting my Father in his magical shop, I was dazzled by the beauty of home design and especially the wonderfully-woven fabrics.

After qualifying in London I joined my Father for my ‘real’ interior design education. After 50+ years as a BIID professional interior designer, his wisdom and nationally-recognised style inspired me to new heights.
To this day I live my passion for period interior design, and am so driven to always do better. I was of course proud when we were nationally recognised by The Telegraph in their ‘Top 20 Interior Designers in Britain’ awards but I won’t rest there!”

Our Harrogate shop.

Established in 1895, our customers describe stepping into Woods as a serene and inspiring experience.

A shop full of curiosities, like the letters from Royal patrons; the oldest working exterior clock in Harrogate and beautiful oak-panelled gated-lift, still in day-to-day use. They often spend time taking in all the showrooms set over three floors in our Grade II listed building; bursting with period character and unique charm. They appreciate our carefully designed displays, which are colourful and aspirational and always changing, giving them the perfect excuse to visit regularly.
