A sleek, chic, show house type furniture store on Whitworth Street West, with nothing but estate agents around. Located under the arches, it's location is pretty different and a great place to wander on in. Established in 1996, Ferrious has a great portfolio of fans including the Home Office and Chelsea Football Club. Ferrious prides itself on showcasing works from quality, innovative companies. I don't know a lot about domestic interiors but it sure looks and feels very exquisite in taste.

They have some incredible pieces here, large, marsh-mallow sofas, oversized doughnut chairs, clean kitchens and sleek, modern lighting. They stock some of the most innovative brands in home design: Paula Lenti, Moroso and Marset. If you have a down town warehouse apartment, practically anything you purchase in here will look incredible in it. Of course, nothing comes cheap in here but if being individual means a lot to you then there's nothing for it: get out your credit card.

I can't get enough of stores like this. I don't know whether its name refers to the customers who…read moreare drawn in by the unusual items in the window or the buyers who trawl the world to bring them to the high street, but either way, Moth offers some of the most unique gifts you can buy in Didsbury. I've only bought a candle in here before, but if I had the money I would have bought a whole lot more. From vases, jewellery, mirrors, lamps, art, vintage furniture, there is at least one thing in here that every person who walks through the door finds themselves needing. The owner doesn't snoop around you either, which makes the whole experience very enjoyable. I always find it hard to leave!

Moth is about style and simplicity. Inside it's all muted greys and creams, with low benches full…read moreof beautiful gifts and trinkets for the home. Mirrors, candles and candle holders share space with lamps, ceramics and tableware. There's a range of toiletries from Provence; their understated bottles and packaging complementing the store's décor. Then unexpectedly under one of the benches is a basket of hand knitted baby shoes. This shop is just perfect for rummaging, whether you're looking for a gift or something for your home. Prices are quite reasonable, considering the store's address.

Unbelievable kitchens and bathrooms. For people with more money than me…read more Porcelanosa is probably the best kitchens and bathroom showroom that I have browsed. I like to have a little wander round such places and think about what things I might like when I grow up into a real adult and make my way in the world. And if I get to the stage of purchasing myself a kitchen and a bog from Porcelanosa, I shall pat myself on the back, and congratulate myself on having won the game of life. Modern, chic, sleek. Shiny, glassy, chome. These kitchens are literally the emblem of modernity. Minimalist, stylish and classy, they really are worth seeing. You never knew that taps and ovens could be so cool. I've set my sights on living in a house with these joys. If you're looking for a new kitchen or waste closest, make sure you check out this wonderful showroom.

The stock changes frequently and the owner is really helpful if there is something specific that you are looking for. They also re-cover/re-fill cushions and other furniture - although I haven't asked about larger pieces, they would always be worth talking to!

There are a range of homewares and gifts as well as curtains, furniture and upholstery services.

I hadn't really heard of Little Greene before my "I'm sick of the mustard yellow lounge" event…read more They, however, rock. I've only used their services online (I don't even know if they have a shop/paint outlets), however, they get four stars because: They have a lovely range of colours They send a paint brush with the paint sample pots (incredibly helpful) They send sample pots in screw-top jars (incredibly helpful) Their customer service and fulfilment is so efficient and friendly Their paint is good quality Their website is well-organised, from their products and services to their ordering process and their comparison function. They lose one star only because their website makes it a little difficult to really compare the colours; not all of the colurs have a photograph that lets you see what the colour is truly like in a room or on a wall etc. They do have a warning saying to order a sample pot rather than judge from the colour square, which is very sound advice (simply because the colour squares vary even on different monitors and different printers). But their paint is good quality and, on a perhaps slightly weird note, it smells nice. I don't mean I was sniffing paint all day - having painted the hall, sitting in the loungeroom something smelled a bit like delicious berry yoghurt. And I realised it was the paint. Which was a nice change from the smell of paint in the living room, which had had a similar treatment but with a different brand of paint....which just smelled quite heavily of, well, paint. So now the hall is a paler shade that leads into my loungeroom, which is no longer mustard yellow.

From the owner: At Little Greene our philosophy is to provide the best quality paints and luxury wallpapers at…read moreaffordable prices with excellent service. We take time to design and develop our products to be both beautiful and durable, and all are manufactured in the UK to an exceptionally high standard. Our paints are made with the finest ingredients and up to 40% more pigment than ordinary paints - complex formulations that result in a profound depth of colour and the best coverage of any paint on the market. Our wallpapers represent the best of interior design through the ages, with many designs drawn from the extensive English Heritage archive and reproduced in colours to suit period and contemporary interiors.

PLEASE AVOID! We…read moreare currently having to formally seek refunds for materials not provided after many attempts to call and email. We expect we will end up needing to claim through the courts. The first two designs the designer admitted were no good after we challenged (thank god we were sceptical and didn't just put our faith in them). After many of the needed materials never arrived we have still not had a refund so are hugely out of pocket. The CEO Michael Banjo admitted what a shambles the whole process had been yet is too gutless to answer or return a call, and still isn't prepared to refund us for over £5000 worth of materials we haven't had. They ask for money up front for a reason - BEWARE! UPDATE - Having now written a formal letter requesting refunds for items not provided and the response we have received from Decor Fusion is the refusal to even discuss any refunds until we remove any negative reviews we have posted online. When we refused to do this (the reviews are accurate and I believe necessary to avoid others falling into our situation) CEO Michael Banjo first threatens us with a slander suit, then smugly states "We are well protected in our terms for late deliveries and bespoke items as these things can and do happen i.e. supplier let down" (this is a month after our refurb finished and with no new delivery dates proposed for any of the outstanding items) and "The other options is for you to go to court and we deliver all items to you leaving you with absolutely nothing to argue on and items you say you don't need anymore." There's customer service for you! So just be aware that if you do use this company, they have no obligation to delivery any items to you by any dates that you need them and clearly cover themselves in their terms and conditions so that if the items are too late to be of any use to you (which in our experience most will be) they do not need to refund you. I have tried to explain to Michael that the way to combat negative reviews is to resolve the issue that has caused them, but so far this has fallen on deaf ears.

So I fell a little bit in love with this boutique shop, it's tucked away down a side street which…read morewe would never have found if it hadn't been for my trusty Yelp app! Filled with a gorgeous array of house interior and gifts, I felt like I'd fallen into my dream home - sure a slightly cluttered home but definitely a home filled with everything I would want I could ever want and dream of! They have vintage furniture, mugs, tea coasters, beautiful photo frames, CLOCKS (I love clocks), rugs, paintings, cutlery - pretty much all those hidden touches many homes miss and all at reasonable prices. The highlight for me was definitely the large blue clock - I WILL have that in my house one day (or one very similar) just beautiful and only £80!! If you're in the area please do take a time to look around this wonderful shop, I promise you it'll be worth your while and you will leave with something truly special and unique be it for yourself of someone you love!
