Designer Dreams: The Boutiques You’ll Want to Move Into
Ever wandered into a store and felt like you’d stepped into an interior design dream? Boutiques curated by the pros give you the ultimate cheat sheet to decorating your home. They’ve done all the heavy lifting—sourcing, selecting, and styling—so all you need to do is pick what makes your heart skip a beat. From chic shops with a Scandinavian soul to pop-ups with a personal touch, here are four of the most inspiring spots to visit.
Stòr Living
Scottish Calm Meets Scandi Cool
If hygge had a postcode, it would probably be Kirriemuir, where Stòr Living has been quietly redefining interiors since 2021. Donna and Julia Caira, the mother-daughter duo behind this gem, have blended Scotland’s rugged charm with the minimalist elegance of Scandinavian design.
It’s all about earthy tones, natural textures, and a touch of whimsy. Think mossy greens, heather purples, soft woollen throws, and hand-thrown ceramics. But Stòr isn’t just a feast for the eyes—it’s a haven for creatives, too. Their wreath-making and paper-crafting workshops are a chance to slow down and embrace your inner artisan. Bonus: their shelves are packed with quirky stationery, home fragrances, and art that’ll have your gift list sorted in minutes.

Their team of designers is always on hand to help you curate your perfect look, which is ideal if decision-making isn’t your strong suit.
