Reviews of The Drawing Room

L. J.

I can't believe I've never reviewed The Drawing Room! My go-to art supply store in Christchurch. I often make the long trip in (40 minutes each way for me) just to go here. Or if I'm in the city I always make up some excuse to go. I love it here! Fantastic workshops when they have them, absolutely wonderful staff, and a good range of products. The pastelmat, Pitt Pastels, and Derwent pastels used to create this pet portrait were all bought here. 😁

R. C.

I’ve bought paint from The Drawing Room three times now, and I’ve been so impressed every time. A great range of products, very prompt, user-friendly, efficient service, and the paint tubes are always very well wrapped. I enjoy shopping on the website, and I come away every time thinking what lovely people. Highly recommended.

K. T.

I did a click and collect from here and was very impressed with how friendly and helpful the staff were. I was treated like I was an old regular even though I had never been here before. Such a great experience 🥰

T. W.

Honestly one of my favourite stores in Christchurch, if you are looking for art supplies of any shape and size, you're likely to find it here! And the staff are friendly and willing to help you find what you need!

S. J.

Having come from north island Whanganui my husband was in art Heaven when I pointed out the "Drawing Room"

A. L.

Google maps doesn't take you to your location. Was a bit annoying dealing with the traffic to turn around and go back and to find your shop visually. But live my purchases and your shop is amazing

g. m.

Received my order the day after I had placed it!..in Wellington. Great systems in place for online orders. Thanks

V. L.

Excellent experience with The Drawing Room - I ordered from Auckland and received it within two days! Product was well-packaged and it good condition. Highly recommended - they have a fantastic selection of artist supplies :)

K. M.

So impressed! Never normally leave reviews, but had such a good shopping experience and super quick delivery! Great local business - would definitely recommend and will be using them again :)

C. H.

Stock a lot of good stuff but always pretty low on most of the things I visit art supply stores for. Great place, but depends what you're looking for. There are better options not too far away.

C. W.

Always great service from knowledgeable, friendly staff

K. A.

Friendly, helpful staff. Great Abundance of all manner of art supplies

K. B.

Loved my purchase from here and it was overnight delivery. Fantastic thankyou so much.

P. E.

Excellent shop, excellent service. An art addicts paradise.

K. W.

Absolutely amazing assortment of products available, and the staff are super helpful. Prices are better across a lot of the range than competitors. Parking could be better, but is still convenient enough. Would definitely recommend and will be visiting again.

J. S.

Fantastic service. Really knowledgeable staff who suggested alternative products when they didn't have the pen I needed in stock. That alternate product works exactly as I needed it too. Fast shipping and delivery. Couldn't be happier, many thanks!

D.

Great staff, really passionate and knowledgeable. Their service is great too!

K. R.

Big selection of art supplies good prices very good service.

P. D.

The wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable staff make a good shop great; This shop is certainly a great shop! I took a trip here last week for some pens and left with exactly what I was looking for plus a heap of advice about the projects I'm working on. Local artwork showcased throughout the large well stocked shop floor from postcards to painting, inks to epoxy. Stock choices are clearly made through experience working with it give The Drawing Room all of the touches that make a good independent art shop such as this the place to go. This certainly isn't the kind of shop where you'll get scoffed out for being a novice nor met with a blank look if you ask a complex question. A great place, I think I've found my one stop shop for art supplies!

B. H.

Excellent art shop .always very helpful.

M. B.

Such a great store. The staff was super helpful. We were looking for art supplies for our 4.5 year old twins. The helped us find affordable options as we have to buy two of everything. The store is well organized and beautiful. The supplies they recommended turned out great and the kids have enjoyed them.

W. G.

A great spot to but supplies. The staff helped me spend mine and daughters money. Great customer service.

L. K.

Wide selection of materials, lovely helpful staff. A must visit for ones art supplies from paints to paper, pencils and pastels, brushes, charcoal and more products including my guilty pleasure - Lamy products. A treat to visit!

J. S.

Excellent online/ph shopping experience. Nice personal touch. My thanks to Jackie :)

P. G.

For oil painting not lot of product range to choose from. The Web page says they have bushes that they no longer stock. It used to be better a few years ago. The staff are very friendly and helpful. If the prices were not so high, and they had more brushes and paint brands, I would give five-star. Still one of the better art shops in Christchurch. Worth a visit.

T. B. S.

Fine staff and fine materials for all of your fine art needs. I have yet to stump the guys with my specific requests for art supplies. The prices are comparable to big chain stores but the service is much better.

p. m.

WOW! The Drawing room are amazing! Excellent prompt service in Level 3 Lockdown, they responded to my message quickly and helped out with all I needed. I highly recommend them!

L. H.

What a great store. Excellent service and advice. Even though they didn't have everything I was looking for they pointed me in the right direction. Thanks Drawing Room.

L. R. S.

I've had 2/2 great experiences at The Drawing Room. Their selection is better than other art stores I visited in Christchurch and their customer service great - very friendly, very helpful. Thank you TDR. I will be back :)

R. B.

Went to the Drawing Room for the first time and what a pleasurable experience. The staff were fantastic. They were out of an ink I wanted to purchase, so the gentleman went out the back of the shop and came back with an ink with enough in it for me to continue with my picture. They certainly know what they are talking about and very helpful. Thank you.

C. P.

Very friendly helpful staff. Fabulous service

G. D.

Friendly and very helpful staff. We bought some paints,boards and canvas for the baby. Yes she well enjoyed because it well recommended by staff. Convenient place. Easy parking.

The staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the contents of the store. Haven't done enough art supplies shopping to know how it compares price-wise with other stores in the area, but the prices seemed reasonable to me.

Brilliant staff always willing to help. Great prices.

A. W.

Specialist help, friendly staff, wonderful resources...what is there not to love about The Drawing Room? Every time I pop in I find a new angle or approach for my particular relationship to paper ( amateur bookbinding) and they're always helpful. Parking's an issue if you don't get one right outside: involving circumnavigating the whole building both in and out unless you'e very much more navigationally organised than I am! but it's always worth it. I've done one of their specialist workshops ( years ago now) and that was great...highly recommended all round

J. C.

Just popped in with my young budding cartoonist, I can’t wait to come back and have a good look at this fabulous shop. The two ladies were extremely helpful and just lovely! Thank you 100 stars!

A. F.
