The range is fairly eclectic, but for the most part involves colour, bold prints, and lots of florals. The thing with Magnolia, though, is that the prices are kind of over the top and the staff are a little snooty. Whenever I walk past I'm tempted to go in and browse, but usually I don't because I know that I can't afford anything and that the staff will give me the once over. Not the nicest environment to browse in, if you know what I mean. It's a shame that Magnolia isn't more inviting and welcoming, or more reasonably priced because the do have some genuinely gorgeous things. Fortunately, I've found other places that provide many of the same products or style or products, at a less balk-worthy price and with more helpful staff. Definitely worth a look, but more for inspiration than actual purchases in my opinion.

This is the perfect shop for anyone who likes to pamper their homes as much, or more, than they like to pamper themselves. There's so much to gush over it's overwhelming. I had already planned my future home design in my head prior to taking my second lap around the store. There's also great gift ideas too such as coffee table books, candles, vases, rugs and other plenty of other pleasantries for a home. Magnolia, as sweet as it might look and smell, isn't so delightful in the price department. For example (you might want to sit down for this), I found some Tokyo Milk bubble bath for $85. $85!!!!!!!! For bubble bath! After I had recovered from that initial shock I went on admiring everything again, I just stopped touching things. With the plethora of choices for home decor shops in and around James Street, Magnolia does a good job to differentiate between the rest with fun plays on old styles and a huge range of stock from tea pots to bed frames. If you're willing to spend a fair bit of money on beautifying your home, Magnolia is worth a look.

Not only is Hayley an outstanding interior designer but she also has a great sense of planning and construction. Consequently, she has always been the one to come up with solutions to our varying renovations issues. On every job Hayley has assisted with selecting every component from the kitchen handles through to the windows and light fittings and we have always been amazed with her sense of style. When we have progressed to the house sale Hayley has always done the styling. During the last house sale the majority of the comments back from the potential purchases was of the 'striking Hampton Styling'. I would highly recommend Hayley if you are after a conscientious and extremely talented Interior Designer. Sue and Leigh

Outstanding!!! I…read morerecently constructed my new home and luckily during the initial design and concept phase, I was more than fortunate to avail myself of the wonderfully talented services of the lovely Raquel from My Style Interiors. I must admit prior to the original consultation I was a little unsure and hesitant about the whole process, but almost instantly Raquel put me at ease with her vibrant and warm personality and obvious love and passion for design and her impressive attention to detail quickly instilled in me a great confidence that I had indeed made the right decision to have an specialist guide me through the whole design process. She listened intently to my ideas and proposed themes whilst providing amazing suggestions and alternate themes and painted so many beautiful pictures and inspired ideas in my imagination! At our subsequent consultation Raquel had produced some wonderful themes and styles with regards to colours, furnishings, materials, cabinetry and lighting ideas that perfectly captured what we discussed in our original meeting whilst also ensuring it was within my proposed budgetary requirements. Now, seeing my delightful home finished and witnessing the whole planned concept come to fruition so stylishly and beautifully, I couldn't be happier. Thank you so very much Raquel. I could never have imagined living within such a more gorgeous environment. I cannot recommend My Style Interiors enough...do yourself a favour, you deserve it!

She insisted that this one off fee would ensure she would fully engage to provide a finished product that I would be happy with. Collette showed me a total of three rugs which I did not feel were right. I was shown one fabric for a lounge and one cushion fabric. Her 18 YO grandson tried to do the 'hard sell' on me for one of the rugs. it was embarrassing to say the least. The fabric she selected did not match any of the rugs, was drab and not to my taste. While the cushion fabric was absolutely lovely, it completely mismatched the rugs and upholstery fabric. I suggested that I needed to see some other options. I never heard from her again. I essentially paid $350 for one hour of her time. The rugs were clearly stock that they couldn't move and the fabrics came from a "friend". Fortunately, Brisbane has a large choice of Interior Decorators and my formal sitting room is coming along nicely.
