Soho Retro is one fabulous shop!…read more Steve, the owner, greeted me with a mimosa and his adorable pup. He instantly became my favorite person I'd met in Birmingham. The furniture, art, and other decorative pieces were gorgeous and priced really well. There were some unique finds that you probably wouldn't look for but would be glad you stumbled upon and lots of classic pieces too. I became obsessed with a couple of items but wanted to measure before making a purchase. Steve happily provided his card in case things worked out. Unfortunately, I returned home to find that my hunch was correct and the pieces wouldn't be a good fit. No worries. I'll for sure keep Soho in mind during the rest of my redecorating!

This was my first visit and I was definitely impressed with the large selection of home decor both inside and out. Really unique pieces of furniture, art, rugs and appliances. The prices were in line with some of the other large decor warehouses, but also cheaper than the more high end designer warehouses or stores. Same quality but maybe a little dusty. I will definitely be returning to this warehouse for my home decor needs. By the way, they have all your flooring needs, as well.

The merchandise itself is great, some prints of birds caught my eye, and I'm usually not a fan of mass-produced art at all. If you're looking for bed linens, this is a great place to check out!

My husband and I like to go to the gardens to walk and then stop by the store to look around. The other day, we bought a "hard to find" type of fern and it was reasonably priced. This place is a lot more than a plant shop and you could spend hours just looking at all the interesting things they have for sale. Let me say, however, bring your wallet because they can be pricey. Also be careful if you have kids with you because the shop can be crowded and things can easily be broken. The positives are that the shop layout is beautiful and the decorators took a lot of time to make it visibly appealing to the customers. And, the staff here are friendly and very knowledgeable about plants.

I saw about the sale on TikTok, and knew I had to stop by! The entire front room is mostly unmatted, unframed prints, all only $10! They're really interesting, gorgeous, antique things. They have music sheets, pressed flowers, all very European looking. I did buy one $10 print that was matted, starting a collection for a future gallery wall! In the back room, most framed prints are half off, and all unframed, matted prints are $75. I bought a matted print of some butterflies! They had a lot of botanical things already matted. This shop is beautiful. Avoid the mass-produced art, support local, and find something nobody else has here. It's worth stopping in for the inspiration alone. The man working here was incredibly kind, and definitely overwhelmed by the amount of people who had discovered his shop via TikTok! I would recommend following them on Instagram to stay posted on what their next steps are.

They do have a few toys, a little candy and some cute clothes for kids, but it's mostly special fun stuff for adults. This is the perfect place for a very cool wedding gift! A huge monogrammed cutting board with initials on one side and the couples portrait on the other was pretty reasonable! Monogrammed towels in a million color threads, monogrammed water pitchers, glasses, stationary, and lucite napkin holders, heirloom monogrammed scrap books or baby books, serving trays, snack bowls of various woods, college or sorority items, a few ladies coverups, seasonal decor and more to choose from! I ended up with a darling gold ice scoop & towels with our 3 initials! Friendly service tops it off!

Confirmed, first step inside and it was exactly the type of home décor store she likes. All sorts of things --- really so much stuff packed into this store, but not cluttered, just really good use of space. Really cool feature, they offer monogramming, engraving and vinyl services, so if you are looking for a gift for somebody (or something for you) and you want to personalize it, they have the ability to make that happen for you. Prices seemed to be good and on par with other home décor stores. The store is split kind of into two halves - to the right is home stuff - to the left is kids stuff - clothes, toys, etc. Staff was really friendly and helpful checking on me a couple times while I was in the store to make sure I didn't need anything. Great little shop in Vestavia Hills, check them out!
