They deal in true statement pieces that will make the décor of any room pop. These guys have simply the best selection of mother of pearl inlaid pieces you'll find anywhere in Adelaide. From chairs to dressers to bedside cabinets, you'll find it here. If you're in the market for an oversized statue of a pink flamingo, trust me you would have more chance of the Jack Horner people sourcing one for you than anyone else. I simply don't know where they get their amazing pieces from and that's why they're such a fave with film and TV industry professionals who are in search of that perfect piece when they're decorating a set. If you need a piece of wall art, a light fitting, a sofa, a chest of drawers, a bed, a Buddha, a mannequin or a whatever ... go see them. If you're looking for a Venetian Mirror, they specialise in reproductions that achieve the right look without the big price tag. I had a piece of furniture restored by them years ago and they did such a brilliant job that I haven't had to do a thing to it since. It still sits proudly near my dining table and all I ever do is change the decorative piece sitting on top. There is something incredibly quirky about the design talents of the Jack Horner people. If you're a bit of a bower bird and you like to collect things, stop by for a visit.

Zebras! ZEBRAS! This…read moreisn't just a furniture store. You can see that with a casual glance through the display window. This is a bizarre furniture store. I know nothing about interior decorating. As I waltz around Jack Horner, the logician in me as saying, 'You wouldn't furnish your entire house with this stock at this store. You'd come here for particular items.' But then the Mario in me decided the logician was wrong and stupid and tacky. I have made a personal pledge to myself. If I should get a house in Adelaide (having failed all my endeavours overseas), I will stock my ENTIRE house with things that can be found at Jack Horner. Including (nay, especially) the zebra patterned items. This place is so queer and quirky it is a joy to inhabit. Knowing full-well I could afford nothing, and would have nowhere to put it if I could, I still had a grand time browsing. It was a delight to see what item in the store would surprise me next.

They're more than happy to personalise pieces to exactly what you want. The showroom stock is all an attractive mixture of modern and classic style, and there are some gorgeous pieces here. Until you look at the prices. If I had a spare two thousand dollars to spend on a single couch chair, I don't think I would be furniture shopping in Magill, Adelaide, South Australia. If you're looking for a 12 seater dining table in dark wood with high-back leather seats, and are happy to part with $15,000, then this is your place. It's nice to browse here, but if you didn't look at the prices you wouldn't think they were worth this much. Their wood is all quite lightweight, which though useful, makes it seem lower quality. While the designs are elegant and appealing, I'm not sure why you'd pay these prices when you can get similar pieces at a much more reasonable cost, and still Australian made.

One Rundle Trading Company is a shopping experience. With gifts, furniture, books, pictures,…read moremirrors and a whole lot more on sale, there's always plenty to choose from. I often like to just browse through there to see what they have on offer. If you wander through to the back of store - and trust me its not a small space to wander through - you'll find a range of beautiful fashion pieces as well. All in all One Rundle Trading is an eclectic mix of beautiful things. I love the way the shop is set out with a Ladies Room and a Gents Room at the front of the store - and by that I don't mean toilets but rather rooms for of things specifically for men and women. There's also a children's room and a garden or outdoor room as well. They offer a Bridal Registry and an Interior Decorating service and best of all a free - yes free - picture hanging service. The space itself is massive and once served as a 1920's Melba Picture Theatre. Located in Stuart Road at Dulwich, I recommend wandering through on a Sunday afternoon to take in the sights. When you're in there, don't forget to look at the beautiful old ceilings - they're as gorgeous as many of the trinkets and pieces you will just fall in love with.

I stepped through the front archway into a glittering, vast space full of chandeliers and hallways leading into more beautiful rooms. I avoided eye contact and didn't want to touch anything for fear they would tell me I'm too poor to shop here. The rear section is clothing, and the books and pictures around the area with words like DIOR and CHANEL hinted at the fact I couldn't grab a bargain for twenty bucks. But a pair of shorts for five hundred? Sure, pocket change for you brokers and people with old money. What beautiful homewares they have, gorgeous lamps and paintings and sculptures, the only consistency being no two things are alike and yes, you pretty much could close your eyes and point and find a gorgeous antique chest or a marble sculpture of a blackbird and want to take it home so bad you nearly weep. I will never look at Ikea the same again. This store is glorious and completely unattainable for the likes of me.

They play Fresh 92.7 on the radio quite loudly without fail and have done this for the last 5 or so years I have been visiting them. I tear up the d-floor in my mind each time I duck in. Most of the larger furniture is out the back in the big attached shed. Some of it is rad and some needs more TLC than I can imagine giving it without a marriage certificate. It's also loads of fun poking through the rooms of books, prints, picture frames and general guff. Great place to find small tables, bookshelfs and I've even seen a few meat safes there.

However, there is a bit of good furniture there, albeit of the smaller variety due to the limited space in the building. Definitely worth stopping in for a poke around if you are doing the Magill Road antique trail.

There is actually some half decent furnature at Fantastic and as much as I like to take the piss the prices are very comparable and probably cheaper than the Ikea options across town. Fantastic.....no, but worth a look. They also have a 'dent' section of mildly damaged stock that has price reductions.

The inside of the store is cluttered with the faces of movie starts and black pseudo Edwardian and nouveau 1920s furniture. The courtyard at the back of the shop is a surprising oasis of simplicity and fresh space. Above the courtyard sits an intriguing artists' space which the public is welcome to visit. The owner and designer, Markus, is a spectacle with a bleach blond mow-hawk, and he pulls off the rock star look very convincingly. This is a fantastic place to revel in decor and artwork, and there is an enormous range of gorgeous collectibles.

They stock the most elegant (and yet at the same time quirky) home decorating pieces you're likely to set eyes on in Adelaide. What I like about Louis Bond is they're not like every other decorating store you're likely to visit. This suggests to me they go that extra mile when it comes to sourcing their product. Louis Bond is also the home of artwork for one of the store's owners Markus Hamence. Markus' work is createded to compliment the season's furniture in store but he will also create one off pieces for individual customers. With a focus on canvas art these pieces are real statement pieces that belong in strong interiors, bold enough to want to make a statement. Don't forget when you visit Louis Bond, you can pop next door to My Friend Louis and grab a coffee. Actually the main entrance to Louis Bond is via the coffee shop so you can't miss it.
