West Coast
Household by Nickey Kehoe
Sam FrostTodd 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

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

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
Photo: Olivia PierceAfter 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
Photo: Jesse StoneLet’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
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
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
Photo: Alanna HaleLocated 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
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.

Named after owner Ted Kennedy Watson’s late father, Watson Kennedy is a design shop that feels like a home.

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
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
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
Photo: Eric PetschekLocated 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

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

Roman and Williams Guild

Currently, Egg Collective is open by appointment only, so you’ll want to waste no time booking a slot. eggcollective.com
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

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

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
Photo: Jane BeilesFounder 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.

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
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
