It's got some really lovely bits and pieces - Glasgow road signs, vintage map wall art, luggage cases, Shetland wool blankets, chandeliers, furniture as well as wee decorative pieces. One of my favourite finds was a glass pineapple that has a silver coating and now sits on my lounge room table. I didn't realise but they also have a shop through in Edinburgh and an online store. With fantastic customer service and great, unusual pieces, I'll definitely be popping in more often.

Anyway, needed a mother's day gift and I'm glad I went in. I was focussing on the unique candle scents, rhubarb and ginger or fig to name but a few, for the gift. These were so delicious I came away with one for mum and one for me. Other things that caught my eye were the range of blankets/throws and room diffusers. Staff here are extremely helpful and friendly (none of the pouncing/smothering approach some people go for) and a pleasure to do business with. If you need something lovely...time and tide. (Even if you are clumsy!)

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.

It's like an Aladins Cave, with crazy cushions, stately chaise's, and obscure objet d'art. Not to mention the lamps. They do sinceriously awesome lamps - from multi-bulbed (of different sizes!), glass dome encasements, to the brightly coloured giant miners lamps. If you're not careful, you'll miss that they have a downstairs too. We did, and the staff ( who were in no way pushing sales), pointed it out. Third is whet they have some great pictures, in a variety of styles - but I really liked a big pop art one. If I had loads of money, I could easily spend a fortune here! The stock for somewhere like this must rotate quite regularly, so I look forward to checking it out again in a few months time.

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....

After visiting Decorium today I was pleasently surpirzed by the place. It has an array of beautiful lights, mirrors tables and soft furnishings all with a north African feel to them. The owner of the shop says they get deliveries from the African continent around once a month and was kind enough to advise on the perfect mirror for our family home. I also noticed a lovely wooden table and 4 chair set for a very reasonable 270 pounds. I wil definitely visit this place when furnishing my first flat!

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.

A lot of shops like this get a bit funny if you're just having a look - but the lady in The Living Room was lovely and didn't mind at all. All the furniture is arranged into little "rooms", which makes the whole place feel really homely. As well as all sorts of furniture - you'll also find smaller furnishings such as vases, candles and lamps. There are some really nice gifty bits and pieces that would make great presents, and I even spied some gorgeous wooden Christmas decorations on the counter. Prices range from £10 or £20 for small furnishings and lampshades to £2000 for a sofa. Although quite a bit pricier for furniture than a certain unnamed Scandinavian superstore, the furniture in The Living Room is infinitely more individual and stylish and much, much better quality. Worth a trip - even if it's just to dream.

Neither of us had ever been in before, but my guy reminded me that Jack and Victor of Still Game shot some scenes in this shop way back. Even though this shop is called The Living Room, it really caters to the whole home and depending on your style, there really is something for every room. We were in looking at bedroom sets and found one that we really liked, and put it on our list of contenders. The staff in this shop are helpful and polite, but be warned, they don't take kindly to shoplifters. Since it seems there were only two people on staff, in a pretty large shop, they have cameras and notices everywhere that CCTV is in operation. No bother, I'm sure that helps in feeling safe. Towards the back of the shop were bits and bobs of sale items, ranging from discontinued furniture to outdated candles and pillows. Everything still in really great shape, the discounted price just makes them that much sweeter. We left happy with ideas of how we want to furnish our house and even stopped by their larger store in Merchant City (which wasn't as nice as this shop) and fully plan on coming back for other decorating needs.
