Set in the beautiful Barton Square (the "home bit" of The Trafford Centre), Dwell is an uber stylish furniture store. It is darkly lit and almost like walking into a trendy wine bar as you enter its sophisticated doorway. This is not a place for antiques or vintage finds, Dwell is exclusively for contemporary living- it does not sell furniture, it sells "pieces" darling and it is a place where furniture lovers will find the focal point they have been searching for, for their designer pads.
Every room in the house is catered for in a sleek and stylish fashion; sofas are angular and impressive, dining chairs are futuristic and the beds look straight out of MTV Cribs. The lighting section is second to none, and I am in awe of the pendant wine glass chandelier which costs £199 and is a real talking point. Dwell is simply good taste and prices vary from the affordable to the expensive- another light fixture which has caught my eye is £600. Dwell is a supermodel of a furniture shop, traditionalists will hate it, but post modernists will adore it. The staff are friendly and its customer base favour city centre thirty-somethings with a bit of cash. If you fancy splashing out for your urban dwelling then Dwell is right up your busy, congested, city street. read more
