Edinburgh is full of lovely shops. The creative talent of this city is amazing! From little independent shops sourcing from local makers and crafters to suppliers of amazing designs from all
around the world. Whatever your tastes are there is something for everybody. It was really hard to choose but here are my top favourite shops. I hope you will find the list helpful if you need to decorate your home or just need few new pieces.
Jeffreys Interiors
Is a must for people loving luxury. It’s an exquisite well established interior design house located in Stockbridge. If you need advice and help with soft furnishings, furniture and accessories they are very helpful and real experts in this field. It’s worth going just for inspiration, their showroom is always immaculate and joy for the senses.
Moleta Munro
Right at the bottom of Broughton Street is a fantastic shop supplying designer furniture, lighting and other accessories. It is a carefully curated selection of modern and contemporary offerings. Love it, love it, love it… A go-to place for me for design classics and new and up and coming furniture designers.
Antropologie
Antropologie sells home decor, clothes accessories, furniture, gifts. It is not local but feels that way. Their story is an interesting one and they always collaborate with artists and makers. I am drawn to this place for another reason – their Visual Merchandising which is another passion of mine. And they are the kings of Visual Merchandising!
Lifestory
Lifestory, an independently-owned gem in Edinburgh, is a dynamic destination for aficionados of Scandinavian design and lifestyle. This shop showcases a thoughtfully curated selection of products that embody both beauty and functionality.
Under the discerning eye of owner Susan Doherty, Lifestory offers a perfect blend of lifestyle store and coffee bar, featuring locally sourced coffee beans. The shop’s diverse range includes ceramics, cushions, unisex fragrances, children’s toys, jewellery, and design magazines, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
The Red Door Gallery
It’s a gallery of course but also some original homeware, jewellery and other interesting items. It is almost impossible to get out of this shop and not pick up anything. It is located in the Old Town but has a young and cool vibe, a must-see. Click here for the website.
STOR LIFESTYLE
Last but not least a newly open interiors shop in Edinburgh’s city centre. Stòr Lifestyle, is a beautifully curated ethical lifestyle atelier and bookshop. It offers an exquisite selection of quality handmade goods, homewares, gifts, and seasonal flowers, all perfect for a natural living environment.
Stòr Lifestyle brings a refreshing perspective to modern retail by promoting thoughtful purchasing and investing in skilled artisan pieces crafted from time-tested materials. These items are designed to become future heirlooms.
Collaborating directly with makers from across the EU, Canada, and Nepal, Stòr Lifestyle has created a marketplace for practical goods that are both beautiful and expertly crafted.
Via Stor Lifestyle
So that is it, hope you would enjoy the visit to some or all of these. If you need help with choosing items with your home and making it work in your space and with the existing furniture give us a shout. We can consolidate deliveries so you get everything at one time from different places, install it and style it too.
We would love to help you create the best home for you!
