Rosie and Clover is a lovely Ripon browse stop for dog owners who enjoy interiors, colour and the dangerous charm of “just a quick look.” This independent Westgate shop specialises in soft furnishing fabrics, upholstery, Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, oilcloth, lampshades and made-to-measure curtains and blinds, so it is packed with inspiration for anyone who likes home bits with personality.

It works beautifully during a slower town mooch when the dog is behaving impeccably and the humans are suddenly imagining entirely new rooms. For visitors with dogs, it adds a more lifestyle-led, creative stop to the Ripon mix. Calm, characterful and highly capable of sparking very expensive ideas.
