Realm Vintage.

Kensington Road

Global brands like Bonaldo and Oluce feel at home on Kensington Road thanks to Transforma, the Adelaide-born, European inspired luxury furniture store.

For more than 40 years, the shopfront and showroom has stocked exclusive pieces that have helped South Australians inject personality into their living spaces and provided expert interior advice and services to those looking to re-decorate their homes.

Next door to Transforma, you’ll find Scandinavian furniture straight from the source at BoConcept, the global interior brand designed in Denmark. Here you’ll find contemporary style fused with comfort and individuality – a feat that’s seen the luxe label open more than 300 stores, including one right here in Adelaide.

Complete any Euro-inclined interior with homewares and furnishings from Living By Design, also found on Kensington Road. A curated range of Danish glassware, handwoven throws and an extensive collection from Finnish designed brand Marimekko are just some of the items you’ll find.

Magill Road

A five-minute drive from Kensington Road’s interior scene is Magill Road, furniture and homeware stores rooted in transitional style – furnishings that champion both the contemporary and the traditional. Take Aura Objects for example, the bespoke furniture and lighting business takes cues from global furniture heavyweights. Aura prides itself on its timeless aesthetic, illustrated by the compelling and sustainably craft ed designs imported from Italy, Sweden and New Zealand.

Dedicated to driving a circular economy, Realm Vintage is home to a curated selection of restored furniture, lovingly sourced by owners Paul and Ren Gerard, who opened the store after designing their own house with reclaimed pieces.

Unique to its finder, the collection of rare Australian and European interior items from forgotten eras seamlessly blend with today’s modern taste when styled inside a light and bright home. Magill Road’s new wave of interior stores comes from the likes of 1k Chairs and twopairs, the homewares store that balances a refined neutral palette with globally influenced taste.

A Magill Road success story, twopairs has expanded to more than three times its size in the 10 years it has been open, servicing Adelaide’s in-the-know crowd with crockery, kitchenware, entertaining accessories and more. Add soft ness and colour to any home with the items you’ll find in-store at Flourish Gift and Home (think quirky Kip & Co bedding or vibrantly-printed table linen) and Willie Stewart Interiors – a furniture, lighting and homeware store. The owners behind knowledge in colour, upholstery and styling and can offer interior services to those looking to refresh their homes.

The Parade

The Parade is your one-stop-street for everything custom, including furniture, curtains and lighting design.

Pfitzner Furniture is a stalwart of the SA design scene, spending more than 50 years crafting furniture from solid timber. Nothing is mass-produced. Instead, dining tables, chairs and entertainment units are individually constructed by the small team.

A quick three-minute walk and you’ll find yourself at Mardaw Interiors, the third-generation business who are experts in everything soft furnishings, from bedheads to cushions, blinds and bed linen. Visit their Parade showroom and become acquainted with their ‘fabric library’ – an extensive collection of cuts that’ll bring your home to life.
