Designworks

Designworks is one of the swankier interior design shops situated in this area of Glasgow.
Saying that, there’s a market for the gorgeous upholstery they have to offer, and since I was a teenager I have yearned for the fancy chairs they stock in here.
Designworks seems up to scratch with current trends, with a recurring overturn of stock, and a place to go if you are a higher earner and want to treat yourself to something plush for your house. They have an extensive fabric collection for couches and curtains to the back of the shop and lots of glorious Edwardian-​styled brand spanking new cabinets.
At the moment there is an apparent earthy, mother nature inspired theme with viney, twiggy house ornaments, tan couches, stylish crockery with blossom printed on it and leafy coloured cushions. Seems to be common of the recent recession that everything from adverts to house decorations is styled to look organic and innocent, but it’s a nice touch if you’re looking for a distraction from work stresses.
When I asked the girl behind the counter if she sold anything small, ornamental and affordable for Mother’s Day I accidently slurred my words because I was exhausted and said «Do you smell?» rather than «sell», agh! Lord only knows how my words ended up in such a mismatch but she just laughed and was really nice, very helpful. And in answer to my question, they have a variety of vases and delicately adorned modern frames should you desire anything for a classy gift!
It’s expensive for lower earners but it’s on my wish list of places to revisit when I’m rich!
