Dingwall is a lovely little fabric store in Morningside which offers a range of products. You can…read morebuy fabric or wall paper and can either decide to do your own projects or have them take care of that for you. They will make your curtains and blinds to order, and I believe they also do furniture upholstery and cushions. The space is deceptively small in that they don't actually appear to stock any of the actual fabric there - you select what pattern and how much and they'll order it up for you. Pro in terms of quantity and variety, but con if you're wanting to just buy something and get on with it. They also aren't a haberdashery so don't expect to buy thread or other bits and bobs here. They carry very high quality fabrics which are likely to carry high quality prices as well. I visited one fabric store which carried Harris Tweed for £40/meter. The fabrics I picked out at Dingwall were cotton and ranged from £30 to £50/meter. So, a bit on the ouch side. The flip to that though is that they really do have something for everyone in terms of design (and apparently they do carry cheaper fabrics, I just have expensive taste!) and the staff are incredibly knowledgeable. I mean it's kind of scary. There are SO MANY books of samples and the girl helping me was pulling books out left right and center after I described what I was looking for. She really knew the stock and it was impressive. I chose a few fabrics which I really liked and despite saying that it'll be a while until I'm able to tackle these projects, they immediately offered to get me swatches so I could take them home and see them in my home. The service really is spot on. So much so that I would buy from here, despite finding many of my choices for about £5/meter cheaper online.

There are a few really cute, quirky shops in Bruntsfield, and Miam Miam leads them all. It's a…read morereally cute shop, selling really cool little bits and bobs and some furniture. It's the sort of place you can happily browse and smile at all the things they sell - because that's the most accurate description I can provide - it's just things! Yeah, it's a really nice shop and the staff are lovely! But I begin to question my sanity when I'm considering buying a £25 pink polka-dot tea cosy when a) I don't drink tea and b) I don't have a tea-pot. Some of their stock does raise a few eyebrows, but hey, it's fun I suppose. I've always said I would go back for Christmas shopping or for a birthday, but I always forget.

Most suites are leather in line with recent demand, though there are some material suites which are tastefully designed. There are various bits and pieces of furniture which are set out also in display such as dining furniture, living room furniture etc but at the back of the store is a section where there are various great quality beds. Staff here are attentive and friendly, they will also do their best to provide as much information on whatever products the customer is interested in. At no point did I feel as though I was being pushed into buying something for the sake of a sale.

It's a lovely little…read moreshop selling everything from tea-cosies to candles, everything you would want in your stately home. Unfortunately for me, I live in a 2-bedroom flat in Holyrood, and have no use for this sort of stuff. Don't get me wrong - it's a lovely place and my grandparents loved it (Gran bought a cushion, she takes it out every Christmas and Meg next door is green with envy) and I'm sure it has a large market, but for the younger generation I think it simply isn't appreciated. Maybe I'll come back when don my power-suit and 2.3 children, but until then I think I'll go to Ikea. Gran's cushion was £45, so you get a sense of the general prices. Granda still can't believe the woman who won't spend an extra £1 on real soap (she prefers Asda's own) spent that much on a cushion. A festive cushion, no less.

If you like pretty and nice, then you will love Clementines.

Easy to get to from our side of town, this is a huge unit filled with every kind of furniture you could think of, all sensibly grouped and fun for browsing. We managed to get an armchair (that perfectly matched the sofa we already had), a dining table and chairs (for £40!), and wardrobes. They also have sideboards, cabinets, chests of drawers, beds, mattresses, kitchen appliances - even telephone tables! Best of all - they deliver! Well worth a trip if you're in need of furniture, and it helps a great cause. They also pick up donations if you happen to be getting rid of something at the same time.
