We Makes Things Different

At Knock Nook, we don’t simply place products on a shelf — we think deeply about how each piece is seen, experienced, and remembered. Here’s how we do things differently:

A New Way to Display

We carefully evaluate every corner of our store and divide the space into three distinct zones, each tailored to different customer flows and visual engagement levels. This strategic approach allows us to place your work where it will truly shine

Storytelling: Your Voice, Your Narrative

Every artist has a story — and we take the time to tell it right. From custom signage and product tags to in-store descriptions and online profiles, we tailor each display to reflect your background, values, and creative journey. Your work doesn’t just sit on a shelf — it speaks

Events, Themes & Exposure

Our store transforms with the seasons. From monthly artist spotlights and themed installations to seasonal décor, media features, and promotional events, we keep the atmosphere dynamic and exciting — offering artists consistent opportunities to be seen and celebrated

Plan & Pricing

Simple, Fair and Artist-Friendly

We believe great art should be easy to share, not locked behind high fees or complicated terms. That’s why our pricing is designed with independent artists in mind: low monthly rates, low commission, and no hidden costs. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for a new platform to grow your brand, we offer flexible plans to suit your needs and budget.

See What Our Artists Say

At Knock Nook, we’re proud to build genuine, supportive relationships with every artist we work with. From display planning to regular communication and flexible arrangements, we always put artists first — and they notice.

What sets Knock Nook apart is how personally involved they are. They helped me shape a mini collection for their store and even featured my story in their window display. It’s a space where artists are truly valued.

-Ellie M. Wooden Carving Artist

I absolutely love the display and the sign is gorgeous. You take so much care over everything. It’s an absolute pleasure to send my items to you.

– Nicola from Blue Tag Creations

Such a lovely shop. It’s so nice to see a space that truly supports local talent. The whole shop has this really warm, welcoming vibe.

– Wizlemon Studio

Frequently Asked Questions

See What Other Artists Are Asking

Do I need to be based in Glasgow to join?

Not at all! We work with artists from across the UK (and beyond – Korean, American, Japan ….). As long as you’re able to ship your products to us, you’re welcome to apply.

How does the rent and commission work?

Each plan has a fixed monthly rent and a small sales commission. Rent is charged from the date your products are displayed in-store. We only take a commission when your work sells — the rest goes directly to you.

How do I know what’s selling?

We provide monthly sales and inventory reports so you can track what’s moving and what might need restocking.

Will there be duplicate or similar products from other artists?

We do our best to maintain variety and avoid overlap. We curate each artist carefully and try to ensure a balanced, non-competitive selection within each category — whether it’s prints, jewellery, or homeware.

Can I apply if I only sell one type of product ?

Absolutely. We offer plans to suit different scales and product types — from postcards to full collections.

Can I update or swap my products during the rental period?

Yes — you can refresh your products within your SKU limit. Just let us know in advance so we can coordinate the update.

Do I need to provide barcodes or labels?

No need — we handle all the labelling for you. You just need to deliver or ship your items to us, and we’ll take care of the rest, including inventory tagging and display.

What if I want to stop?

No problem. We just ask for a one-month notice so we can wrap up your account, finalise payouts, and return any unsold stock.

“Knock Nook is truly helping me out — now I don’t have to worry about marketing; I can just focus on creating.”
