They stock Scandi brands like Skandinavisk, Menu, Sagaform, Broste, Pappelina and lots more. They sell homeware, gifts and a lot of candles! The shop is very spacious and well laid out. If you have a craving for some nordic style beyond IKEA then this is the place for you.

I have been to Princes Square Shopping Centre many times but it was only recently that I noticed…read moreDwell existed! I had never even heard of the company before! I popped in for a little look around and was very pleasantly surprised. Dwell sells all sorts of home wear from big furniture items like sofas and beds to more decorative items like candles, cushions and art. Everything is very neutral and classic in style and is of excellent quality. Some items in here would make a fantastic base for decorating your home to which you could add little quirky bits and pieces to put your own stamp on the place. I think the prices are actually pretty reasonable in a "you get what you pay for kind of way". Unfortunately I can't afford any of the larger items, but if I could I would definitely invest in a few! I fully intend to go back and purchase a few of the smaller (and cheaper!) items such as a lovely lamp I saw.

The two floor store has all your weird, wonderful and quirky furniture needs for a contemporary home, but everything is so extortionately priced that whenever I go in, it's really just for window shopping. I think I've actually bought about 2 things from here and I've been in about 20. If the shop was slightly more affordable, it would be 5* without a doubt; I absolutely love the place. But it's not, so no 5th star!

In my opinion, this is a brilliant light shop! They sell all things light related from standard…read morelamps & bulbs to custom made (both size & colour) lampshades and all kinds of light fittings and chandeliers. They also sell small pieces of furniture such as coffee tables, side tables, clocks and pictures. I have bought nearly all the light fittings for our house from Ruth at Cotterells and she has been very helpful. They have also offered a sale or return on large light fittings so that we can check it actually works in the room. This is reassuring when you are thinking of spending a few hundred pounds on a light fitting! Price wise they have a good range of options and look out for their own brand lights which are very competitively priced. I highly recommend them.

If money is no object though or if you're for lighting for an event, I'd definitely recommend a peek. Get your sunglasses on though, as the decor is just their own lights! I came here with a friend who was searching for lighting for his degree show, and they equipped him well (oo-er). The staff are very knowledgable on their subject, and the lad in the warehouse gave him a good deal on arc lights to light his and his class-mates work. It's a shame it's so hidden away, but gems often are.

For all your tile needs, Fired Earth is the place to go - I didn't even realise this place existed…read moreuntil our landlord last year redecorated our kitchen. We needed to sort out a time for them to come by and drop the tiles off, so I stopped off whilst in town. What a tiny wee tile shop! The staff were very friendly, and even knew what I was talking about when I basically garbled a spiel about our landlord and tiles. I even got a sneak peak at the tiles - not exactly my first choice in tiles, however, I was only going to be in the flat for another 2 months... (Yellow - like egg yolk yellow - tiles for a white/brown kitchen? Er... no thanks). We sorted out a delivery date and the tiles arrived. Perfect - well it would have been if they hadn't been THAT 'lovely' yellow....

It is rather expensive, and aims at an affluent market- Tedesco's, out in Springburn is better for bog-standard tiles- but these are far more elegant and stylish.

Anyway, I was on the hunt for a particular 'Glasgow Patter' tea towel and was guided here by my online personal shopper Briony (that's Yelp for you!). Sadly, they only had a Scots patter one, not the Weegie version, so my search continued. But it looks like a nice wee store if you're looking for a gift or greetings cards. It's easy to walk past though as it is in a basement. (Didn't this used to be 23rd Precinct?)

An eclectic mix of moomin candle whirlers, ipad desks, quirky jewellery, amazing cards and everything in-between. Well worth a wander if you are searching for the illusive gift for that hard to buy for sod at the bottom of your Christmas list who wants for nothing. I was in for stocking fillers for the girls and did not leave disappointed. Smudge is going to be utterly delighted with her scarf wearing panda necklace and Santa was pleasantly surprised at the less than terrifying price tag. With the additional 10% check in discount I felt positively virtuous and absolved of all the sinning I had just been committing in Waterstones. Where my restrained buying for other people plans had failed spectacularly. By the time I had reached the till I had already decided this was going to be a five star review but then the wonderful staff at the till tried to help me lug the buggy up the stairs. I say tried because I may have been using the handy basket at the bottom of the buggy to hide all the books bought in Waterstones, meaning that the buggy weighed more than a family hatchback and actually couldn't be lifted even by two people and Puff just had to suck up bumped up the stairs. A great wee shop that I'll probably be back in again before Christmas. If only because I need some of the amazing Christmas cards with huge Rudolph noses and really my tree isn't going to be finished until I have a rocket decoration hanging from it. I didn't even know I needed a rocket tree decoration, well now I do...

They are aware of this practice, so their no refund policy is basically ripping off the customer. After all, who wants a credit note for more paper, after finishing the job? I specifically asked if I could return extra rolls at the time of sale, only to be refused and given a useless credit note. Take your business to an honest retailer.

I entered Libby Libby on the wrong footing since I held the door open for an exiting customer who…read moredidn't say "thanks"! Which I appreciate isn't the fault of the staff but I'm a firm believer it costs nothing to have manners and it may have left me a bit disgruntled when I got round to reviewing the place. Even if that hadn't happened, I don't think Libby Libby would have made a lasting impression on me, anyway. As far as decorating shops go it's alright, and the wallpaper designs draped down in the window display are all very eye-catching, but I didn't bank on it being that expensive. It's not grossly overpriced by any means, but considering you're greeted with very reasonable bargain bins the minute you step foot through the door it's pretty disappointing when you find there's not much more value at the back of the shop. The selection is good if a bit garish. I mean, if Libby Libby's wallpaper could speak it would all be shouting "Pick me, Simon" and vying for the customer's attention, but their selection would be great for feature walls. They've got some really up to date stuff and their kid's collection is fantastic. I was just a bit deflated by the price. I know wallpaper isn't cheap these days but I thought £10-15 pounds a roll was a bit steep. Saying that, it looks like it's durable and of a higher quality so you'll get what you pay for, They've got a nice selection of paint, some lighting bargains and are up to scratch on current trends but it was just the price that got to me. Is wallpaper really that expensive these days? It's been a while since I decorated my cave so maybe I should get out of it and give Libby Libby some business - I did really like the floral prints they had on offer. I just don't have hundreds of pounds to spare. I would say this, though - cool points awarded for wallpaper embellished with medieval knights! My next feature wall would kick serious ass with that, and I'm not even joking.
