How to find a fake plant shop in Melbourne

Planning to revamp, design or style your home? You can make a lasting first impression with fake plants, flowers and trees. Artificial plants create a fascinating natural look for any home and evoke the beauty of nature into any indoor space. But to craft a dazzling setting, you have to invest in quality faux plants, hire a good interior designer, and of course, find a fake plant shop to source all your interior design materials. However, there are many plant shops in Melbourne, and choosing the right one can be challenging, especially if you’re a first-time DIY designer. Thankfully, this guide outlines 5 simple steps on how to locate and select a replica plant shop. Just read through.

Search on Google

Go to Google Maps and search for “fake plant shops in Melbourne”. Look at the map and note the shops that are close to your location. However, the closest store is not necessarily the best. You can do similar Google searches, too. Try searching “Melbourne artificial plant shops”. You’ll get some distinct results and some overlapping results. At the end of all this, you will have a list of 5 or more shops that are near you and top in your town.

Get recommendations

Find out where your friends buy their fake plants. Do they love the shop or hate it? Are the store prices favourable or not? And are their services and products of high-quality? Similarly, ask an interior designer(s) you know to recommend a fake plant shop that they use. As designers have industry connections and know where to get good deals, they can locate a shop that sells durable, attractive plants at a competitive price.

Know the cost

Some fake plant shops are more expensive or radically cheaper than others. But don’t go with the cheapest or overpriced store. Costly ones don’t guarantee premium-grade products, while inexpensive ones may provide terrible, fragile products, that cost extra to replace. Before you even start your search, figure how much you are willing to spend. To get the best deal, compare prices to find a shop that offers quality, affordable artificial plants.

Check their website

Many artificial plant shops have websites to display their products, prices and share information. Visit their website and find out what the store does and provides. As an example, have a look at www.artificialplantshop.com.au. A shop with a wide range of synthetic plants and that offers modest prices is perfect. Likewise, look for testimonials and reviews on the site. The more positive reviews the store has, the more reputable they are. To gauge their experience, check out the about us page and note how many years they have been in the industry.

Go window shopping

Get out of your house or office and go out there to look for synthetic plant shops. Though hectic and tedious, visiting plant stores in your area is a great way to see what the shops sell and compare prices. Visit several shops during your spare time. While in a specific shop, look for plants that best suit your space and that you can afford. After the long walk or drive around town, you’ll be able to identify several reliable artificial plant shops.

Wine Rack For Your Cellar

Posted on by calvinimagine

How to pick the best wine rack for your cellar

We love wine here at the Calnev Melbourne Guide. And if you’re reading this, then we bet you love wine too and want a precious place for your wine collection.

When designing or selecting a wine rack for your wine cellar, several things must be considered. For one thing, you want a rack that is designed with wine in mind. And more importantly, you actually want a rack that is safe for your precious wine bottles. But the big question is – how do you select a wine rack that fulfils those requirements? No worries! Here’s what to consider.

1. Wine rack materials

How you want your wine cellar to look will determine the material you choose for your racks. Metal and wood are the most popular materials. They are long-lasting and contribute to the overall appeal of your cellar.

Metal wine racks

Going for the modern look? Metal racking is dramatically modern and adds luxurious appeal to your home and wine storage spaces.

Wall-mounted metal wine racks bring dull walls to life and are perfect for limited wine storage facilities. Floor standing metal racks are ideal for large wine rooms as they occupy much floor space.

Wood wine racks

Looking for a traditional look? Then go with wood racking. This traditional kit is usually made of mahogany, pine or redwood. For a unique look, consider custom oak wine racks.

Reclaimed wine barrel racks are great too. When you enter your wine cellar, you’ll be treated with the smell of fine winery as it permeates through the racking.

2. Space

The size of your wine rack will rely on the space you have available in your wine cellar. Modular kits come in various options of size and styles to fit your needs. Metal kit racking and traditional racking are also suitable for your cellar. Make sure you choose what will fit best in the area.

3. Storage

If you have a relatively young wine collection, say a dozen bottles, consider getting bulk storage. This can be diamond squares or bins. As this wine is accessed and enjoyed over a short period, a small wine rack will be suitable.

However, diamond wine racks make it hard to access and identify bottles. Therefore, select a wine rack that showcases the bottle’s label and stores the bottles on their side, for easier accessibility and to prevent oxidation. An example of this on http://www.thewinerackshop.com.au/.

4. Size up your bottles

Wine racks can hold most bottle sizes. However, they won’t fit larger bottles including magnums and specialized champagne bottles (such as Krug, Dom Perignon, and Tattinger). If you love storing bigger “special” bottles, display racking may be the best option here.

Similarly, calculate how many bottles you want to store before you choose a rack. Mounting wine racks may limit the space in your cellar. A collection of 100 bottles requires at least 5 square feet of space.

If you’re a passionate wine collector, account for more bottles than you currently have. So allow for expansion in storage.

5. Budget

If you have a limited allowance, you can start with a shelf wine rack. Most of these are stackable and modular, meaning you can add to them as your collection grows. Custom wine rack prices quickly go up depending on the type of materials used.
