At Red Works we do a lot of reupholstering for our clients and we are regularly asked "is it worth it to recover or should we just buy new" ? We have also been asked the same question by feature writers at Brisbane News so I thought I would share my thoughts  on the topic with you here. How can you tell if a piece of furniture is worth reuphol...

Life is a journey. Just ask the two flight attendants who founded baggallini. They wanted a travel companion, something stylish with plenty of pockets to help them move from place to place. So on their next trip they found some people who could help them make exactly that. Soon the cabin crew all wanted to know where they got their bags, with the p...

We trust that 2015 has been as wonderful for you as it has been for us. The past few months since our last newsletter have been quite hectic for us, helping you to create luxury in your homes, recovering your furniture and windows, sourcing fabulous new shop stock for Christmas, filling the shop with sensational new Mela Purdie, handbags, hats and jewellery, homewares and gifts, and working on a very special project with Youngcare that you can read about later in the newsletter. Our lucky 13th Birthday is nearly here and of course we are planning a celebration – a Week of celebrations in fact! You and your friends are invited to come along and help us celebrate, and, although it is our birthday, we will be giving you the presents, with a fabulous prize pool of gifts worth over $ 2000 to be drawn at the end of our Birthday...

Do you love having fresh flowers in the home but dislike that they often have a very short life, especially during the hot summer months? We know that faux flowers often have a bit of a stigma around them due to the very plastic looking orange and pink ones your grandmother may have had in a vase stuck in a corner of her lounge room, under that very irradescent faux ivy she had in an indoor hanging pot, however, we promise you, there are some very "real" looking faux flowers around now days. At Red Works we stock Stoneleigh Galleries Flowers and I promise you, clients walk in here all the time asking us about our beautiful flowers. They truly look and feel quite real.  Whether you are after statement flowers like these stunning Magnolias, or more "just picked from the garden" looking gardenias and sweet peas, or perhaps even a...

Rebecca Sparrow (Author and guest writer for The Courier Mail) The Best of Brisbane List It’s no wonder Red Works Director Karla Martin smiles so much – she knows her store is a shopper’s delight. Selling furniture , homewares and gifts, Red Works is the type of place where you can find something for even the hardest-to-buy-for-person. And forget about girly chintz and flounces – Red Works appeals just as much to men (thanks to all the nifty gadgets). Items range from $ 10 to considerably more for the ultimate wingback armchair. Go on spoil yourself.

Red Works has much more than just Mela Purdie ! Although we looove Mela Purdie, we do actually have a huge range of products and services on offer and what better way to find out about the myriad of things that we do than to have a little click through our brand spankin new website.
