The distinctive ‘Boxwood Look' was developed & created by Jill Stewart; owner & founder of Boxwood. Having worked as an interior designer/stylist, & designed for adverts & film productions, opening a shop was the next goal. With this experience for simple solutions to achieving an overall look, Boxwood was created.
Over the years carefully selected suppliers have been sourced for their take on the simple, relaxed country style; an inspiring mix of New England, Scandinavian, plenty of Shaker & a touch of the old rustic.
Initially Boxwood set out to provide customers with its unique take on the simple rustic country style within a home environment. However after subtle persuasion from customers & staff the ‘Boxwood Baby' was born. The ethos was again to keep it simple; plenty of organic, honest clothes & gifts, that trigger happy childhood memories.
Boxwood has created a happy & relaxed shopping environment that many customers call their ‘sanctuary'. Where you can pick up a little present for a new baby & quite possibly something for yourself!

It’s been 10 years since I asked myself a simple question. Why not open a shop?
A shop that provides the things that enhance the little spaces in your home. That make it especially yours; something that gives your home a heart. I called my dream Boxwood.
The answer 10 years ago, was to throw all my savings and a big bank loan in to the business. Start the researching, speaking to people, drumming up support and hitting the trade fairs around Europe to source these special things. This was before Google! We bought over the existing picture framing service in the shop, to add another string to our bow, and then added the Boxwood Baby range as well. Then came the newish addition, the online store; to keep our out of town customers happy.
Byres Road has changed a lot since 2002, with less independent retailers and more coffee shops, mobile phone stores, charity shops, banks changing names and Woolworths gone forever. It hasn’t all been plain sailing, and has taken a lot of hard work, determination & graft to keep Boxwood on Byres Road.
We’ve tried to change and diversify with the times, without losing sight of the inspiration and original dream that started it all. The one constant throughout has been the undying support of our loyal customers, without whom, we just would not have survived.
I’ve been blessed with amazing staff through the years, and would like to thank them all so much for their hard work and support they’ve given Boxwood. Especially Rona, who has been with me since I first came up with the idea, don't think either of us thought we'd be celebrating a decade! She picks me up when I need it, pats me on the head when I deserve it, & gives me a talking to when I know its coming! My right-hand girl & good pal!
We live in uncertain times, but I would like to think we can offer a little spark to brighten your day, whatever the weather! So here’s to another 10 years. Happy 10th Birthday Boxwood, my dream!
Kind regards,
Jill & the Boxwood girls
