When I was younger I worked as part of a shop fitting team for a shoe company for a while, and we…read moreworked on various shopping centre sites as new shopping centres were being opened. In those days it was not unusual while working on a site to stop and chat with other teams who were fitting out new stores. You get to see the process other people go through, and appreciate their work. One outfit I would recommend is Griffiths, mainly because I believe the work is detailed well, constructed locally in a clean and skilled way, and the pride taken in the work is reflected in the quality of the finished product. For any trade, electric, carpentry, painters etc; you can give them a call 24/7 basically. I've never seen these fellows do a shoddy job. They work to specifications and work reasonably swiftly wherever possible. They will build the store for you if you have a new store to fit out, or if it is about offices they will provide you with the right solution to your needs after some consultation. I believe they also have several very happy clients when it comes to doing maintenance on residential and office blocks, so they are available for up keep with both office and residential spaces.

The first thing you see when you pull up is the white horse out the front. Why a white horse? Why…read morenot? The bright blue sign leads the way through to the colourful interior with staff who know their colours. I was after a nice heritage green paint to touch up my house, but the problem was that this colour was considered obsolete. After going through their archives, the guys were able to match the colour I needed and mix up a nice heritage green that suited my needs exactly. The store is definitely bigger than it looks out the front. All varieties of paints are present with all different types. The staff can advise you of what you need for your project and even provide a brush or roller to match. Now I have to work on the interior of the house, so I guess I'd better head back for some off white paint...

Redecorate is a really small and unassuming shop just behind a bus stop on Magill Rd. It would be…read moreeasy to overlook this one next to the glitzier offerings that surround it. There are a couple of things which set Redecorate apart. The first is that they specialise in recycled curtains. By this, I do not mean something you could pick up at Vinnies, these are really high quality and heavy weight. As anyone who has redone the furnishings in their house in earnest knows, curtains are bloody expensive! What a great idea to up-cycle them like this. They have a bunch of furniture in the store and plenty more in storage, most of it in Victorian and Georgian styles. They also offer a home styling service, that's right, they'll come to your house and do it for you and chances are they've already got all the gear on hand to do it!

Wonderful from start to finish. published 4 days ago…read moreCant thank Nicki and the team at Betta Home Furnishings enough ( on the Parade , Norwood ) I am thrilled with my new curtains. A friend said get a quote from them before you decide, you will be surprised. And surprised I was! They came in cheaper than the Spotlight quote ( which had a hefty discount ) and the quality was better ! Nicki knows her stuff being in the industry for 50 years and wouldnt let me make a prompt decision until she visited my home to reconfirm the colours and fabric would work. We discussed how each opening would be used to come up with the most user friendly options. Nicki was honest and not pushy and took her time with me to ensure I was going to be happy with everything from fabrics, style, colour and configuration. The installer was very professional and considerate of my purchase and home, bringing everything he would need including a ladder with foam on the feet so it didnt scratch my floors and wearing white cotton gloves when handling my light coloured curtains. I was kept up to date with timing and delivery and install was prompt, without any complications. Its rare to find this these days but good to know there are businesses still out there that provide quality product and service, consider customer satisfaction a priority and offer a variety of options to suit everyones budget. Thank you Nicki and Betta Home Furnishings !

There are many different frames constructed and otherwise throughout the interior of the shop, but in none of the ordered fashion you will find in most framing places. There are some very nice frames here, antique and gold leaf, as well as many much less appealing. As well as picture frames and mirrors, Derek's has some fireplaces as well.
