Welcome

Hoos is a design and lifestyle shop on Great Western Road, across the road from the Botanic Gardens, behind a dark painted front lettered with the words homeware, lifestyle, design.

Visited and photographed by Simon Hird

Inside it is bright and calm, a long room of pale wood shelves, white panelled walls and paper stars hung from the ceiling, and every piece on the shelves has been chosen with care.

The stock is a considered edit of goods and wares, from the Nordic design houses to Scottish independents: lamps and vases by HAY, storage from Normann Copenhagen, pieces from Muuto, Ferm Living, Skagerak and Rains, alongside handmade local pieces, candles poured by hand, soaps and bath things, scarves and bags hung on pegs, calendars, cards and books. The larger pieces and furniture, and the one-offs and shop exclusives, are found only in the shop itself, while a smaller selection is sold online. Hoos opens Monday to Saturday from ten until half past five, and Sunday from noon until half past four.

From our guide to Glasgow

There’s something deeply comforting about the ordered jumble of stylish homeware goods on show at Hoos, a selection inspired by owner Karen Harvey’s interest in Scandinavian design. As well as gorgeous lamps, chairs and kitchenware, the store also stocks books, jewellery and children’s toys, as well as carefully chosen perfumes and chocolates.
