West Coast
Nickey Kehoe, Los Angeles
Todd Nickey and Amy Kehoe are the talented duo behind one of Los Angeles’ most popular resources for decorators. Designer Catherine Kwong notes, “When I shop in LA, they are always a must-visit, as the store is curated from an interior designer’s perspective.” Their space features work from Patricia Iglesias, Abate Studio, and Otis Ingrams, in addition to home furnishings like sofas, chaises, and dining tables; bath accessories; and vintage jewelry for which the shop is known. A second store, Household by Nickey Kehoe, is attached, housing chic products for the pantry, laundry room, garden, and more—so every detail in your project can look good. nickeykehoe.com
Lawson-Fenning, Los Angeles
At its core, Lawson-Fenning is a tried-and-true California brand. A Melrose Avenue staple, the retailer champions a vintage-modern aesthetic that epitomizes West Coast cool—whether you’re seeking a sleek sectional or a sculptural dining chair. LA-based designer Kevin Isbell often looks to Lawson-Fenning for interesting finds. “They collaborate with emerging artisans and craftspeople for a distinct perspective that is wholly their own,” Isbell says. “Their selection of pottery is a personal weakness.” lawsonfenning.com
Garde, Los Angeles
With posts in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and Dallas, Garde has solidified its presence as an indispensable resource for designers looking to score unique pieces by talented artists. Founders Scotti Sitz and John Davidson present pieces by Articolo Lighting and furniture by Alexander Diaz Anderson, Benoit Viaene, and Edward Collinson, among others. Expect inventory that ranges from accent chairs to nightstands to outdoor furniture, candles, and more. Get your credit card ready. gardeshop.com
Bàn Bạn Studio, Los Angeles
Named after bàn bạn, a Vietnamese term that translates to “friend’s table,” this Los Angeles–based destination offers vintage and contemporary finds, like a 30-piece dinnerware set from Massimo Vignelli, vintage Danish mirrors, and the Cesca Chair Marcel Breuer designed for Knoll. And, in true friend fashion, founder Jullie Nguyen often donates a portion of her proceeds to important causes around the world. This hip haberdashery is currently open by appointment only, so you’ll need to plan your next shopping spree accordingly. banbanstudio.com
Pierce & Ward, Los Angeles
After meeting in New York City and spending a stint in Nashville, Louisa Pierce and Emily Ward have set down West Coast roots with their home decor store in Los Feliz. (With a roster of celebrity clients like Dakota Johnson, Kate Hudson, and Leonardo DiCaprio, it’s safe to say that the AD100 firm has become a Tinseltown mainstay.) So what to expect from this store swathed with sage green? Pierce & Ward is bringing eclectic antiques of all shapes and sizes, mirroring the design duo’s impressive portfolio. pierceandward.com
Obsolete, Los Angeles
Let’s make one thing clear: Obsolete isn’t just another home decor store. As designer Pamela Shamshiri told AD, the Culver City–based destination is “a treasure trove of one of a kind finds from around the world and from every century.” In addition to its vast array of antiques—which range from 19th-century English finds to sleek Italian dining tables dating back to the1970s—the long-standing institution also houses fine art. That way, you can bring Obsolete’s impeccable curation to every nook and cranny of a client’s (or your own) space. obsoleteinc.com
Amsterdam Modern, Los Angeles
Take a well-appointed walk down memory lane at Amsterdam Modern, which is jam-packed with midcentury furniture, lighting, and decor from the Dutch country. The 10,000-square-foot warehouse has a strong industry following, including Veneer Designs’ Natalie Myers. “Amsterdam Modern manages to stock the raddest ’60s and ’70s vintage pieces that make you take a second look at profiles you may have passed over in the past,” the designer told AD. amsterdammodern.com
The Gardener, Berkeley, California
Since opening its doors in 1984, The Gardener has become a Bay Area mainstay with outposts in Berkeley and San Francisco’s iconic Ferry Building. (Though plant parents who live outside of the Bay Area can shop its web store from the comfort of their couch.) For owner Alta Tingle—who is a former garden designer and current green thumb—her store is all about savoring your time with Mother Nature. Whether you leave with a one of a kind furniture piece or Tingle’s cherished Japanese scissors for cutting flowers, The Gardener makes a case for stopping and smelling the roses. thegardener.com
March, San Francisco
Located in the Presidio Heights neighborhood of San Francisco, March has long held the hearts of discerning shoppers interested in sourcing something special. Look out for sleek, space-efficient furniture from Ifuji, Karen Swami stoneware vessels, and sculptural basketry to layer into a space. marchsf.com
Sue Fisher King, San Francisco
Nestled between the San Francisco’s Pacific Heights and Presidio Heights neighborhoods, Sue Fisher King is a welcome respite from the city’s tech-focused buzz. With over 40 years of business, the home decor company is a true highlight. In fact, the San Francisco staple regularly sells tabletop wares by Astier de Villatte and Este Ceramiche, D.Porthault bedding, Juliska flatware, napkins by Sferra and Coral & Tusk, and accessories courtesy of the store’s own line. suefisherking.com
Housewright Gallery, Seattle
Cofounders Tim Pfeiffer and Steve Hoedemaker bring their expert interior design and architecture knowledge to a home gallery that showcases the eclectic and sophisticated pieces they source from all corners of the world. Recent acquisitions include made-to-order upholstered furniture from Alfredo Paredes as well as ceramic and wood lamps by Natan Moss. Designer Brian Paquette says, “Housewright is everything I want in a home store. There is intense thought and care that goes into this Georgetown shop, and I am happy to have snagged so many amazing finds for my own home as well as for clients.” housewrightgallery.com
Watson Kennedy, Seattle
Named after owner Ted Kennedy Watson’s late father, Watson Kennedy is a design shop that feels like a home. (If you keep up with Kennedy Watson’s regular musings on the shop’s blog, a visit to the Pike Place Market or downtown Seattle location will feel like a homecoming of sorts.) Here, the shelves are stocked with a selection of vintage glassware, cheerful throw pillows and blankets, and there’s plenty of wall decor to be had too. Or if you’re looking for something extra special, browse the curated care packages, which regularly highlight the shop’s pantry and apothecary offerings. watsonkennedy.com
Mōno, Honolulu
Though visiting home decor stores in Hawaii might conjure visions of raiding the biggest souvenir store, Mōno is here to prove otherwise. Founded in 2013 by Dean and Cassy Song, the Honolulu haunt boasts a plentiful array of gems from the Eastern hemisphere—and rightfully so. The store’s inception was rooted in the owners’ 2009 trip to Asia, plus the word mono is Japanese for “objects” or “things.” Visitors can expect to find a curated selection of small design goods like artful coffee accouterments and flip alarm clocks. A considerable upgrade to those standard travel tchotchkes? We certainly think so. monohawaii.com
Canoe, Portland, Oregon
Admittedly, it’s all too easy to purchase something from a home decor store only to let it collect dust over the years. Fortunately, Canoe has been working against that fate since its founding in 2005 by offering spatial essentials that hit that sweet spot between form and function. The inventory here is so practical—think curvy Aalto vases and brass incense holders—that Canoe offers a gift registry program. canoe.design
Northeast
Area, New York City
Located in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, Area opened its doors in 2019, showcasing bedding and home furnishings in a landmarked prewar building. Though the retailer might sell a host of kitchen wares and furniture, its assortment of sumptuous sheets is the store’s pièce de résistance. Topping the shopping list is the Eli collection, basket-woven linen bedding that has a soft and almost antique quality. areahome.com
Society Limonta, New York City
The Italian textile brand known for a refined color palette brings its historic textile knowledge from Costa Masnaga to a flagship in SoHo. The brand has recently launched its Allegoria collection, which uses color, patterns, and tactile materials to represent fall, winter, and early spring. us.societylimonta.com
Il Buco Vita, New York City
Avid hosts might be familiar with the Il Buco family’s empire of restaurants and shops; however, their Il Buco Vita home store is poised to become the ultimate destination for all of your dinner party needs. The expanded shop features a diverse selection of artisanal home products with a rustic flair, as well as the brand’s signature tabletop merchandise. Il Buco has also recently opened an outpost in Amagansett, Long Island. Buon appetito! ilbuco.com
KRB NYC, New York City
Founded by Kate Rheinstein Brodsky, KRB NYC is a rare gem in the home retail space. The designer filled this Upper East Side locale with an ultracurated selection of whimsical pieces that capture her charming perspective. As AD noted when the space opened in 2014, “The store mixes antiques of every era—a grouping of 19th-century Japanese lacquer tray tables, an exuberant 18th-century Rococo mirror, a neoclassical Italian commode—with contemporary pieces from the Lacquer Company and design-minded cocktail-table books.” krbnyc.com
Aero Studios, New York City
After 20 years in business, Aero continues to be a staple in the New York design scene. If you’re eager to get a glimpse of AD100 designer Thomas O’Brien’s offerings, check out its storefront on 15th floor of the iconic New York Design Center. Here, custom furniture, rugs, and other goods are styled into livable vignettes. The back of the shop houses shelves upon shelves of decorative accessories, gifts, and difficult-to-find pieces that would make for the perfect finishing touch on a project. O’Brien’s collection for Century Furniture is sprinkled throughout. aerostudios.com
John Derian Company, New York City
Cult favorite John Derian Company continues to bring in new artisans and designers while maintaining a vast selection of decoupage, accessories, and home furnishings. The home decor store—which spans three storefronts in the East Village, one on Manhattan’s West Side, and another location in Provincetown, Massachusetts—is known as a resource for unique finds, including porcelain produce by Penkridge, artwork from Leanne Shapton, and Derian’s fabric and wallpaper collaboration with Designers Guild. You can also expect to find fun touches like Moroccan poufs, upholstered ottomans, sculptural and flat wall art, and, during the holidays, wreaths and garlands too. johnderian.com
Roman and Williams Guild, New York City
For fans of the AD100 design firm, Roman and Williams’ Manhattan furniture store-cum-lifestyle boutique is a must-stop. Though the original designs by principals Robin Standefer and Stephen Alesch are a draw, you’ll stay for the on-point inventory from artisans and makers from around the world. Whether you reach for Yoshihiro Nishiyama’s glassware or cushions from Tensira, this post is perfect for the final layering of a project. And, down the street, don’t miss Guild Gallery—the newest addition to the designers’ storefront lineup. rwguild.com
Colony, New York City
Jean Lin’s design cooperative in Lower Manhattan is well-known among the design cognoscenti for its roster of emerging talents from the New York scene. Lighting, furniture, weavings, artwork, and even rugs and wallpaper can all be found within its walls, with featured makers including textile artist Hiroko Takeda, lighting specialists Allied Maker and Bec Britain, furniture designer Vonnegut/Kraft, and more. goodcolony.com
Egg Collective, New York City
Founded by Stephanie Beamer, Crystal Ellis, and Hillary Petrie in 2011, Egg Collective places a hefty emphasis on enduring style and durable, high-quality materials. The result? A cornucopia of functional yet fashionable handmade tables, chairs, and storage solutions that can stand the test of time. But there’s more to the Lower Manhattan company than being one of the city’s most covetable home decor stores: The female-led firm also regularly hosts exhibitions to highlight the industry’s vast talent. Currently, Egg Collective is open by appointment only, so you’ll want to waste no time booking a slot. eggcollective.com
Raini Home, Brooklyn
Think of Kai Avent-deLeon’s storefront as the perfect antidote for fast home decor. If the retailer’s “imaginative minimalist” pieces don’t draw you in—think striped side tables and muted room dividers—its focus on sustainability will. Each piece is hand-made in its nearby Brooklyn Navy Yard factory and shipped in flat packaging for easy and efficient assembly. (Or, if you want some IRL connection, book an appointment at Raini Home’s showroom.) rainihome.com
Assembly Line, Brooklyn
Conveniently located in Boerum Hill, a must-stop locale for design-loving Brooklynites, Assembly Line opened in January of this year as a one-stop shop for home improvement. But cast aside any visions you may have of musty hardware stores, because Assembly Line—the brainchild of architecture and design studio General Assembly—is expertly appointed with finds from Sophie Lou Jacobsen, Tantuvi, and Hannah Bigeleisen; lighting from Atelier de Troupe; shower curtains and hooks from Quiet Town; and furniture from Fern and Another Country. assemblyline.co
The Six Bells, Brooklyn
If you need any proof that cottagecore is here to stay, step inside the Six Bells, a country concept store that opened in 2022. However, don’t write off the Cobble Hill hot spot as just another place to buy pastel quilts, hand-painted plates, dainty tablecloths, and rooster-clad kitchen essentials—though the store does stock them all and more. Inspired by her years-long fascination with English mystery novels, founder Audrey Gelman equipped her storefront with a fictional country village called Barrow’s Green. And, with interiors by Laeticia Gorra and Sarah Needleman of Roarke Studio, you’ll feel like you’re smack dab in the action. thesixbells.com
Copper Beech, Bellport, New York
Occupying a former grocery store in downtown Bellport on Long Island, Copper Beech—named for an imposing tree on a nearby property—is a joint venture between AD100 designers Thomas O’Brien and Dan Fink. Both bring their acute, refined, and laid-back taste to a home decorating store brimming with eccentric accessories. Baskets and kitchen crockery mingle with textiles and cushions, while prepared foods and dry goods offer a nod to the shop’s former life. Architectural details such as Shaker-style peg rails and distinctive millwork complete the assortment. copperbeechbythesea.com
Brittany Bromley Interiors at the Jackson House, Bedford, New York
A historic 19th-century building in Bedford is home to interior designer Brittany Bromley’s retail home decoration store. The selection of antique and vintage finds includes upholstered side chairs, trinket boxes, ornate candle holders, and more. All the pieces have a captivating backstory, so a stop here can be your secret to scoring some conversation-starters. bbromleyinteriors.com
McGrath II, Greenwich, Connecticut
Suzanne and Lauren McGrath opened a shop next to their Greenwich-based studio, proving that some of the best home good stores aren’t always in a bustling metropolis. Packed with custom-made furniture and one of a kind pieces, the mother-daughter duo is on a mission to connect and share their style with the local community. One caveat: Though the designers regularly post their offerings on its site, McGrath II is strictly brick-and-mortar, so you’ll need to head to Greenwich to check out their offerings. Don’t worry, the excursion will be well worth the trek. mcgrath2.com
The Flat, East Norwalk, Connecticut
Founder Becky Goss has transformed a large retail space (conveniently located across the street from the East Norwalk train station) into what feels like a well-appointed and stylish friend’s home. Goss enjoys the hunt, which is evident in her mix of rattan furniture, vintage throw pillows, and stone-encrusted mirrors dating back to the 1970s. The space is intentionally set up like a home, which gives context to the eclectic pieces she finds. theflatwestport.com
Lars Bolander, Westport, Connecticut
The Swedish interior designer and antiques dealer, long celebrated for introducing Gustavian vintage furnishings to a wider audience, has recently launched a shop in Connecticut. Bolander’s deft pairing of 18th- and 19th-century antiques with treasures sourced from his international travels to the South of France and Morocco are front and center among the offerings. larsbolander.com
100 Main, Falls Village, Connecticut
AD100 Hall of Fame designer Bunny Williams founded 100 Main with the intention of highlighting the region’s wealth of local artistic talent. In a space that functions like a cooperative and is housed in an old grocery store, shoppers can find botanical prints from Marian McEvoy, furniture from Joseph Stannard, as well as handwoven table linens by Robin Goss, who used to weave for Parish Hadley. 100mainst.com
Patrick Mele, Greenwich, Connecticut
Opening up a design shop was a natural move for designer Patrick Mele, whose latest London project was featured in AD’s March 2020 issue. “Opening a store has always been an overarching goal of my career,” Mele told AD when the storefront first opened its doors in 2017. “But in reality, it came together like many things in my life—like a whirlwind without a real plan!” Today, the Greenwich location is packed with traditional furniture, upholstery, and decor, plus Mele’s geometric tabletop collaboration with Newcomb Pottery. patrickmele.com
Sister Parish, Litchfield, Connecticut
Admirers of Sister Parish’s überpretty approach to pattern and color will be in heaven at the brand’s first brick-and-mortar space. Its filled with confections like embroidered cornice boards from Hibiscus Linens, Sister Parish’s collabs with Tibetano Rugs, and seasonal treasures. Walk-ins are available, but if you’re seeking a full presentation, it’s probably best to make an appointment. sisterparishdesign.com
Larger Cross, Oldwick, New Jersey
After participating in pop-ups and markets—and working with AD100 designer Alex Papachristidis—founder Alice Minnich opened Larger Cross to embrace New Jersey’s “bucolic lifestyle.” The shop features a wonderful mix of country house essentials, including antique English furniture and silver, Mexican etched glassware, and other stylish finds. Though Larger Cross has select pieces on its web store, its Oldwick location is a must-visit because of its robust inventory and idyllic sage green interior. largercross.com
Domain, Catonsville, Maryland
Charming and often locally made home accessories and gifts are the specialty of interior designer Laura Hodges, who runs this storefront in the historic area of downtown Catonsville.

Located in Baltimore’s Hampden neighborhood, the retailer boasts a roster of contemporary wares sure to elevate any entryway, living room, or home office. (Highlights include rippled glassware from Ferm Living, Hem’s vibrant side tables, and sleek Scandinavian furniture courtesy of Normann Copenhagen.) Should you get hungry mid-spree, grab a coffee or sweet treat at Good Neighbor’s in-store café. goodneighborshop.com
Yowie, Philadelphia
Eclectic design enthusiasts might know Yowie for its sprightly social media presence; however, its brick-and-mortar store in Philadelphia’s Queen Village is well worth the in-person visit. Yowie is opened only a few days each week, but if you schedule your stop for the right moment, you’ll see that Shannon Maldonado packs the storefront with exclusive ceramics and artwork, bold towels and linens, as well as innovative provisions. Maldonado also regularly stocks the shop with diverse artisans and vendors, offering yet another thing to smile about. shopyowie.com
Lekker Home, Boston
Growing up in Amsterdam, founder Natalie van Dijk had a deep appreciation for all-things home decor—so much so that she studied textile design in Europe and pursued a career in New York City. When she decided to open her shop in Boston’s South End, she blended aspects of her unique journey into one storefront: the sleek aesthetic of Amsterdam, Parisian luxuries, and New York’s iconic innovation. (In fact, lekker is Dutch for “pleasing, enjoyable, and tasty.”) Van Dijk’s perfected the balance of understated and upscale with Armadillo area rugs, office furniture from Knoll, and table lamps by &Tradition. lekkerhome.com
Midwest
Lantz Collective, Carmel, Indiana

Jayson Home, Chicago
When asked about Jayson Home, designer Andrea Goldman exclaims, “It’s my go-to in Chicago.

They have it all.” Located in a 20,000-square-foot warehouse right outside of Chicago’s Lincoln Park, Jayson Home has been the Midwest’s secret shopping weapon since its founding in 1997. jaysonhome.com
Kneen & Co., Chicago
Perched six floors above Chicago’s famed Magnificent Mile, this retail space and showroom is becoming a go-to destination for designers and decorators alike. The brand offers a mix of elevated furniture, tabletop, and bedding. But, should you need a break from shopping, the intimate showroom setup is a good place for a client meeting. As designer Martin Horner notes: “Kneen & Co. is one of those rare secret-weapon places that is off the beaten path, even if it is right on Michigan Avenue. The proprietor, Mary Jeanne Kneen, has an incredible eye and has curated a stellar collection of luxurious homewares.” kneenandco.com
MoModerne, St. Louis
Though the Midwest has no shortage of midcentury home decor stores, few retailers capture the spatial circle of life quite like Anna Weiss. At her St. Louis store MoModerne, Weiss hand-selects midcentury furniture, lighting, and accessories. (Though its Webster Groves location is certainly worth the schlep, out-of-towners can browse the accompanying website from home.) If you want a piece with a story, MoModerne has been the leading force in estate sale liquidation for the past 20 years. momodernestl.com
Museo, Kansas City, Missouri
Kansas City may not have a reputation for top home decor companies, but Museo’s impressive selection of midcentury furniture and lighting makes this unassuming shop one of the best destinations in the Midwest. Packed with top brands and designers such as Poltrona Frau, Fritz Hansen, and Kartell, Museo is virtually a who’s who of modern design. Not heading to Kansas City anytime soon?

Wendow Fine Living, Austin
If variety is the spice of life, this Austin-based home decor store is about as spicy as it gets. Here, designer and owner Shannon Dyer Dowell breaks the mold by offering a wide variety of sources—think 18th-century European antiquities sitting right next to contemporary wares. Although Wendow Fine Living’s offerings are all over the design spectrum, Dowell’s penchant for classic lines, quality construction, and a peppering of patina shines through. wendowfineliving.com

Interior design devotees might recognize Eneby Home from its stints at the Round Top Antique Show in Texas, but it turns out that the popular vendor has a permanent spot in Nashville.

However, if you want to get a sneak peek at its offerings, follow Eneby Home on Instagram. enebyhome.com

24e Design Co., Savannah
The Joyner family has been ruling the historic district’s Broughton Street for a generation. But, when Ruel Joyner took the helm in 2000, he and wife Delaine put their modern, creative-meets-classy mark on the popular storefront. Though 24e Design Co. features brands from all around the globe—and has even received international awards—it stays true to its roots by featuring local talent like Jim Cone. 24estyle.com
