Laid-back furniture experts Loaf to open first-ever Scottish store in Edinburgh

Laid-back furniture experts Loaf have confirmed they are set to open their latest, and largest, store in Edinburgh next month.

The cosy furniture firm confirmed the first-ever Loaf showroom to open in Scotland throwing its doors open at Straiton Retail Park on Thursday, February 9.

It will be the British brand's ninth shack in the UK, with the open-plan 9,100 sq ft site paying homage to "life in the slow lane", with bosses dubbing it a "slowroom" and not a showroom.

The store will be filled with Loaf’s signature sofas, beds, handmade furniture and their latest laid-back wares for people to try out.

The team said that the mezzanine will house a mattress testing area and there will be 800 sq ft dedicated to smaller Loafing Supplies (think mugs, candles and hot water bottles) which customers can purchase and take away on the day.

To help keep the kids entertained, the store will also feature colouring stations and arcade games.

Loaf’s founder, Charlie Marshall, said: "It’s high time people in Scotland had a bit of Loaf on their doorstep so they can kick their shoes off in style.

"Our new Edinburgh Shack is packed full of our squishy sofas, beds, cabinetry, lighting and plenty of Loafing Supplies: all basic requirements for a happy life in the slow lane! We can't wait to open the doors.”

The new store will open in Units 1-3 at the Terrace, Straiton Retail Park.
