Minimax

There is no shortage of home decoration stores in Camberwell but Minimax has been withstanding the competition for years.
Selling everything from crockery to candles, cookbooks to mortar and pestles, Minimax is the ultimate home decoration and appliances store.
I have to admit that I get a little nervous when I walk in — especially around the sections with glasses and mugs because I am paranoid about knocking something off.
Towards the front you’ll find the crockery and kitchen accessories including some pretty impressive blenders and mixers. The decorative candles and accessories are found further up the back.
The store is pristine, beautifully cleaned and administered by a team of efficient yet sometimes aloof employees. The customer service wavers between very helpful and friendly, to cold shoulder of an employee who knows that I don’t have enough money to spend there.
If you don’t get approached and asked if you need a hand make sure you track someone down — the staff are generally knowledgeable about the products.
