"Faux flowers get a bad rep, but in the hands of designer Abigail Ahern they can add mood, beauty, and texture to a room. She first started her pro-faux crusade at her Islington shop, and it quickly caught on to the point that Heal's, the home emporium, has given Abigail a stand-alone "florist" shop. You'll find endless fake varieties—from ferns to hydrangeas, to ridiculously cute moss dog sculptures—another quirky Ahern signature. "

Absolutely loved this store even though they were mostly sale everything looked fab! Love that everything is reasonably priced. Wanted one of everything!

We visited on a busy day for the shop. Summer stock was leaving and the new fall stock had just arrived. Even though it was all hands on deck the lovely lady with cutest blonde curls couldn’t have been more helpful and happy to discuss paint colours, botanicals, vases and even recommendations for food. So happy with my purchases although there was so much more I wanted to take back to my home. Till next time xxx

Ivana helped my Mother and myself to choose from the gorgeous Abigail Ahern selection of silk flowers. She has a great eye for colour (she is an interior designer) and helped to arrange the flowers in our vases (we brought our own). Without Ivana’s talent for colour and form it would have been a disaster! The end results are just beautiful and we are so happy with our purchases.

My first time shopping here. What an amazing shop!I popped in to buy one lamp and left with five items altogether. The lady who served me was so lovely, very attentive, pleasant and friendly . I will be coming back soon.

I had a great experience with Safa Furniture. The pieces are stylish, durable, and very reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and helpful, and delivery was smooth and on time. Highly recommend!

I have never ordered from this company before but seemed legit. Ordered a lamp which was too small for my desk so wanted to return it. Have emailed customer service three times and had NO response (7 days ago now) and have called both the shop and customer service (it's the same number) and no-one answers. I've called 13 times. Yesterday, I just returned the item via the Post Office but now I'm concerned I'll never actually be refunded and I won't be able to get through. Please beware as I've not had a good experience with this company.

Do not recommend this company at all. The flowers ordered were extremely fake and plasticky. It cost way more to deliver and send them back than what I received in returns, but I still paid since I refused to throw them in the bin. Be careful if you might not like it, certainly not worth the return.

I was after a faux plant that was no longer available on the website. After mailing to see if it would return I was advised to contact the Islington store as they had one. Within an hour or less the store answered a few questions I had and I managed to purchase the product I’ve been keen to get. Great service from Cathy, both friendly and professional 👍🏽😀

When I walked in, I was so excited to be here and did not realize that I had to close the door shut behind me. I was reminded by the female staff member to do so. That was the only time either one of the two staff members said anything to us. We are a fan of Abigail Ahern. She needs to have better more customer oriented employees. I wanted to buy something to take home to the states. As I walked around the store, I realized I didn't want anything that reminded me of this place and the terrible staff.

I want to like the shop as much as I like the designer style, vibe and energy, but after several visits, and the same execrable customer service from person at the till each time I visited over a span of 2 years, I have finally accepted that this shop wasn't worth the time and bus journey. I heard they opened a pop up between Habitat and Heals on Tottenham Court Road, maybe this will be better. The shop is small, and have only few objects, a limited selection of artificial flowers, and paint by AH. It really is the quality of the service which ruins the experience though. No salutations or acknowledgement you enter the store, the two employees on my last visit 2 days ago, continued their conversation for a long time, without paying attention to my friend who was trying to politely get their attention because she had something to ask. When they finally did, the lady tones was just too snobby or bored. As I said execrable. Buy Abigail's last book, so inspiring, subscribe to her blogs, choose some of her deep and rich colours for paint, but don't go to the shop.

I visited the store's new location a few weeks ago and was very pleased with the service I received in putting together a gorgeous artificial bouquet (the faux flowers that Abigail Ahern is known for). The sales assistant greeted me, was helpful, cheery, and very knowledgeable in helping me select an arrangement for my home. There was another assistant present however, who had been near the door when I walked in and didn't greet me but looked up without saying anything, which didn't really put me off as I was heading toward the till to pick something an online order anyway, but it would have bothered me if I was a customer coming in to browse. I'd definitely go back to browse the collection again and to take advantage of the amazing sale prices at the end of each season! The store is beautiful and chock-full of beautiful interiors inspiration.

Review re Tottenham Court Road Store I scoured the Abigail Ahern website for details on her Faux Botanicals. Unable to locate what was after I phoned the Tottenham Court Store for more specific details. The sales associate's tone was clear answering a phone enquiry was beneath her as she told me 'look at their website.' I was after succulents to which she replied 'we have loads in store and online' When I replied I could only see the Lotus Plant she replied 'Oh that's right, then that's all we have.' Then promptly hung up!! She was completely rude and dismissive. It would pay these so called sales assistants/associates to remember they are not actually Abigail Ahern, they are there to advise and most importantly - Sell. I was planning on buying 15x Echeveria style succulents and 2x large plants, but her self important, bored manner has completely put me off. I notice from other reviews this is not an isolated incident.
