Why is it that every time we spot a piece of furniture in someone’s home, a piece we really, truly love, they break our hearts by saying, “Gee, thanks, it’s vintage!” Suddenly our hopes of buying the same item deflate—along with our good mood.

But don’t feel too bad for us, because thankfully the Domino staff (and our group of trusted sources) is also full of shopping experts (who happen to be friends with even more shopping experts), and so we’ve done the hard work for you and found the absolute best vintage furniture stores—from mid-century marvels to antique must-visits—in every single state. Sure, you might not score the same pieces your friends have in their homes, but that’s the beauty of the hunt. And you actually might find something even better.

Here’s our list of the 50 best vintage furniture stores in the U.S.

The West

Homestead in Seattle.

Alaska: Rethink Home in Anchorage

Although it’s not the most merchandised-out store on this list, Rethink Home has plenty of great finds if you’re willing to dig a little. And we are! Especially when it means stumbling upon a chic bar cart with curved bamboo legs.

California: Pop Up Home in Los Angeles

As someone who sources pretty well, I’m often looking for the truly unique showstopper items, and Pop Up has so much. There are quite a few pieces from the shop in my home, including my coffee table, parchment table, and chaise in the living room! What I love about the store is its access to extremely curated pieces you aren’t likely to find randomly online.Kellie Brown, And I Get Dressed

Colorado: Brass Armadillo in Wheat Ridge

In-the-know Denver dwellers flock to this antiques mall (one of six in the U.S. under the same name) that’s packed with finds at very reasonable prices. Give yourself some time here to sort through the rows and rows of plates, rocking chairs, lighting, and collectibles.

Hawaii: Hawaii Modern in Honolulu

It’s no surprise that the outdoor furniture finds at this island shop are on point, from a mint green Kipp Stewart chair to a full-on Walter Lamb lounger. But there are plenty of indoor pieces, too, mostly mid-century, from Knoll to Eames. 

Idaho: Antique World Mall in Boise

From Victorian to mid-century, this 30,000-square-foot shopper’s paradise hits every style note imaginable, from farmhouse antiques (think: weathered dining table sets) to ’60s-era wall units. Bring comfortable shoes—you’ll want to wander these aisles for a long while.

Montana: Kalispell Antiques in Kalispell

Whenever she’s home, freelance stylist and art director Cassidy Iwersen sifts through the goods at this more-than-100-year-old sprawling spot, where you’ll find silver candlestick holders, antique dishes, and even some rare records. 

Nevada: Mid Mod Crisis in Las Vegas

This bubblegum pink barn has everything: mid-century chairs, serpentine sofas, and enough retro glassware and ice buckets to stock a bar cart—and then some. 

Oregon: Hawthorne Vintage Modern in Portland

From a Lucite coffee table to a Danish rocker to a set of marigold director’s chairs, this shop spans all of modern furniture’s greatest hits. It also has an impressive collection of lighting that includes task lamps and refurbished mid-century floor versions. 

Utah: The Green Ant in Salt Lake City

Mid-century pieces (think: Eames and Pop Art) abound at this popular Danish modern store, but there are plenty of ’80s and ’90s finds, too. And if you’re a velvet fan, it appears the owner is as well—he reupholsters original pieces in the plush material, but on a good day you can find original upholstery that’s in great condition.

Washington: Homestead in Seattle

There’s the phrase expertly curated, and then there’s Homestead, a currently online-only shop with the types of items you don’t find at most vintage stores, like Knoll Ettore Sottsass chairs or this astrologically inspired Turkish rug. (Anyone an Aquarius?) There’s even more goodness on its Instagram

Wyoming: Alley Modern and More in Jackson

Fans of Memphis and mid-century will strike gold at this boutique, where owner Cheryl Frey adds a touch of Western to the very 20th-century mix. From rugs to Milo Baughman swivel chairs, there’s a little bit for everyone. 

The Northeast

The Flat Westport in East Norwalk, Connecticut.

Connecticut: The Flat Westport in East Norwalk

I love the mix of art and iconic furniture designers. Owner Becky Goss has such a trained eye! I picked up my vintage sofa there, which she had upholstered in a bias stripe by Robert Kime. It’s a showstopper. Benjamin Reynaert, designer

Delaware: Estate Sales of Delaware in Wilmington

You won’t find a sign leading you to this resale warehouse (it’s behind a Family Dollar store), but it’s full of treasures, according to designer Benjamin Reynaert, who owns a home in the area. In fact, he scored 10 sets of Spode dinnerware there for $80.

Maine: Vintage Modern in Cumberland

With pieces from Paul McCobb and Hans J. Wegner, exploring the clean-lined furniture in this shop outside of Portland is the next best thing to booking a flight to Denmark. 

Maryland: The Turnover Shop in Baltimore

Designer Jen Levy of Surrounded by Color relies on this 80-year-old consignment store for help furnishing her projects (and silver trays for her wedding!). “I love shops that are not too carefully curated,” Levy says. “The Turnover Shop has superclassic items—silver, crystal, even a Mackenzie Childs plate—mixed with more modern finds. It’s always a treasure hunt.”

Massachusetts: Andrew Spindler Antiques in Essex

The only problem with going to Andrew Spindler’s is that you will have so much fun talking and learning and find so many beautiful things that the entire day will have passed and you’ll have gotten nothing else done! —Frances Merrill, interior designer

New Hampshire: Seaver & McLellan Antiques in Jaffrey

You won’t just find traditional designs at this New England spot. In fact, its vintage industrial section is full of weathered decor and organizational pieces. (Though we have our eye on this column lamp.)

New Jersey: Flux Modern in Asbury Park

From Tulip tables to the kind of bar cart that would have supplied Don Draper’s afternoon cocktails, this mid-century megastore is filled with wood credenzas and sleek chairs for days. 

New York: Form Atelier in New York City

Owners Avril Nolan and Guy Nguyen both worked for fashion and design magazines, respectively, so it’s no surprise that the Form showroom leans more museumlike than crafty curiosities shop. From woven Charlotte Perriand Meribel chairs to African artifacts, expect clean lines and pieces in impeccable condition.

Pennsylvania: The Modern Republic in Philadelphia 

Shop owners (and lifelong friends) Kenya Abdul-Hadi and Steven Brown’s mid-century shop has such a colorful collection of Memphis-leaning and Art Deco finds that walking into the space feels like a dopamine hit. Estelle Bailey-Babenzien is also a fan; she shopped there for her client Adrian Grenier’s Brooklyn brownstone. 

Rhode Island: Benefit Street Antiques in Providence

Reynaert loves the mix of this 23-year-old shop’s traditional pieces, from porcelain tea sets to upholstered dining chairs. And its selection of chandeliers and lighting will have you begging your landlord to switch out the boob lights in your rental. 

Vermont: Ardesh in Shelburne

Every Thursday at 5 p.m., Ardesh updates its online inventory, from classic Windsor chairs to Mahogany highboys that date back to the 1700s. Or you could go in person to weave through its 10,000 square feet of items, which range from furniture and rugs to porcelain and pottery. 

The Southeast

Maison in Mountain Brook, Alabama.

Alabama: Maison in Mountain Brook

Art director Rachel Lasserre scooped up her Saarinen table at this chic shop, which sells a mix of antiques and new pieces, all in a muted palette and elegantly arranged.

Arkansas: Peddlers Antique Mall in Greenbriar

At this IYKYK spot, there’s 24,000 square feet of antiques to sift through—and at very fair prices, if you’re willing to haggle. You might not find a womb chair, but it has a solid selection of metal signs, complete china sets, and weathered wood boxes with just the right amount of patina. 

Florida: Palm Beach Regency in Lake Park

Make your rattan dreams come true in this warehouse that’s full of the stuff, from headboards and desks to side tables and chairs. Its highly curated mix is beachy without being tacky, and old school without being too Golden Girls (though is there such a thing?). Megababe founder Katie Sturino is a fan.

Georgia: Reeks Antiques in Atlanta

Furniture designer Robby Simon calls this Black-owned vintage shop his go-to for funky-shaped furniture (curves for days!) plus iron and brass objects for filling shelves. “It’s carefully and mindfully selected and curated,” he says. “And it’s great seeing someone who looks like me in a space I love a lot.”

Kentucky: Retro Metro in Louisville

Bold colors, sharp lines, and a dining set so bright white that you’ll need sunglasses—this shop isn’t for the meek. And yet our neutral-loving hearts want everything it stocks, from a purple Chiclet sofa (sold, darn!) to a cobalt Knoll chair.

Louisiana: Merchant House in New Orleans

When the design team behind the ultrachic Hotel Saint Vincent needed to fill their moody space with sexy velvet sofas and curved rattan seating, they headed to this warehouse that’s packed with one-of-a-kind pieces, or as it states on its site, “The antithesis to big-box retail.” Designer Melissa Shelton of The Bouligny is a fan, too: “Rosa has a great eye for collecting, and I know that whenever I visit, I’ll always find interesting pieces for our projects.”

Mississippi: Circa 61 in Carthage

The name says it all: This shop sells primarily mid-century pieces from Danish designers and more. And it’s just not furniture—it has a collection of bullet planters and an entire audio section with vintage speakers and turntables.

North Carolina: Atomic Furnishings in Asheville

The couple who runs this shop, which specializes in ’50s and ’60s decor, met when she bought a mid-century piece from him on Craigslist. (Aww!) Today they run a shop that sells Paul McCobb dining chairs and a statement-making chrome étagère, among newly upholstered seating.

South Carolina: The Island Bazaar in Charleston

Among the area’s rows of traditional-leaning antiques shops, this mid-century wonder stands out for its hip selection of Milo Baughman shelves and ’50s fiberglass chairs. But it’s not just a pretty face: The staff really knows their stuff. 

Tennessee: Savant in Nashville

Since 2002, this quaint house on a hip stretch of Twelfth Avenue has been a go-to to score a fringed leather jacket or patterned dress, but don’t sleep on its furniture and art, which hits the just-right note of rockabilly and weathered Western cool. It’s a favorite of designer Louisa Pierce of Pierce & Ward, too.

Virginia: Epoch in Richmond

Danish cabinets in mint condition, hand-knotted rugs, and walnut coffee tables top our wish list at this mid-century shop, where you’ll also find chairs that don’t need reupholstering and bamboo outdoor furniture that’s begging you to throw a backyard bash.

West Virginia: Robert’s Antiques in Lewisburg

Trad-leaning design obsessives will go wild over the variety of antiques at this shop, ranging from Shaker to Federal to Pennsylvania Dutch. And for when you’re done sifting through the wares, the shop sells wine and beer, too, so you can crack open a cold one and congratulate yourself on your furniture wins. 

The Southwest

The Renner Project in Austin.

Oklahoma: Vintage Vault in Tulsa

Don’t let the unassuming beige exterior fool you—Vintage Vault has an epic stash of mid-century modern furniture hiding inside. Dining chairs hang by their backs from the ceiling to make room for tables stacked two high and the era’s beloved teak and walnut consoles. Keep an eye out for Herman Miller credenzas, Knoll chairs, and other classics.

Texas: The Renner Project in Austin

Home restorer and designer Kimberly Renner’s sprawling space (it used to be an office complex) looks more like an impeccably decorated home than it does a store. Finds from the 20th century, many of which hail directly from Europe, are set up in roomlike vignettes, getting rid of any uncertainty about living with a piece in real life. While the furniture and accessories are on the pricey side, you’re paying for Renner’s skilled eye—it’s not everywhere you’ll stumble upon a rare set of Italian Tucroma chairs in matching white leather.

New Mexico: Shiprock Santa Fe

An entire room in this second-floor gallery, run by art dealer Jed Foutz, is dedicated to old and contemporary rugs and blankets from the Navajo Nation, where he grew up. The graphic textiles hang on the walls like art, while still more are stacked high on the floor or folded over slim racks. The collection is big enough to trickle into the rest of the space, where mid-century furniture stands in cool contrast alongside more suitcase-friendly items like historic pottery and turquoise and silver jewelry. 

Arizona: Desert Vintage in Tucson

This vintage clothing boutique enjoyed a lengthy tenure at its original location on Fourth Avenue—Tucson’s popular artsy drag—before moving a few blocks away into a former tilemaker’s studio. Reimagined by interior designer Casey Smith, the airy white space showcases local creatives: A painting by Ishi Glinksy hangs in the center of the room, while racks by ironworker Carson Terry suspend each covetable piece. Lisa Przystup, writer

The Midwest

Future Ancestor in St. Louis.

Illinois: Spears Furnishing in Chicago

We first heard of this ultracool shop (with an often-updated Instagram account) from Lolly Lolly’s Lalese Stamps, who is a fan of its jewel-toned curved sofas and Memphis-style decor. Does she maybe regret sharing her secret source with the world? That’s still up for debate. Because one of the best parts about Spears is that you don’t have to live nearby to score a piece from the shop—it ships anywhere.

Indiana: Flux in Indianapolis

This hip shop specializes in—you guessed it—mid-century modern, but there’s so much more there than walnut dressers and Eames loungers. A set of wicker and chrome cantilever chairs just sold on its Instagram, and a black leather swan chair recently found a forever home. Which means you’ll have to act fast to get one of its pieces in your apartment, too.

Iowa: Tesoro Casegoods & Oddities in Des Moines

Local gallery owner Liz Lidgett recommends Tesoro for it’s mid-century mix, which should come as no surprise considering owner Rudy Rodriguez is a member of Mid Mod Iowa and the admin for the largest Facebook group in Iowa, Des Moines Furniture Sale & Swap

Kansas: 200 Main in Overland Park

No worries if you don’t live in the Midwest; you can shop many of the refined wares (from teak-slat barstools to brass urns) at this Missouri mainstay on its Charish site, a favorite of gallerist Liz Lidgett. 

Michigan: Nueve in Grand Rapids

Sarah Sherman Samuel tipped us off to this appointment-only warehouse, run by real-estate design specialist Anna Alvarez, who says she has a weakness for shiny chrome, Hollywood Regency, and handmade rustic pieces. You’ll find them all here, along with art and even a few fashion items (vintage Levi’s!).

Minnesota: Hunt & Gather in Minneapolis

At this cavernous shop that bills itself as “a vintage amusement store,” you’ll find the perfect mix of out-there finds: oilcloth tablecloths, old-school posters, and more glass cake stands than you could ever make enough confections for. It’s an odd collection that totally works.

Missouri: MoModerne in St. Louis

This woman-owned warehouse space—a favorite of Love and Other Rugs founder Lily Sullivan—has a wide range of contemporary brands (Cassina and Artemede, to name a couple) and funky finds, like a pair of papier-mâché feet.

Nebraska: Mod Lines in Omaha

You might feel like you’ve stepped onto the set of Mad Men at this mid-century haven, where a Milo Baughman dresser mingles with channel-back chairs. Many of the items have been reupholstered in modern colors, like this terracotta Parsons-style sofa

North Dakota: Bismarck Antiques Mall in Bismarck

We’ll be honest, the pickings are slim in North Dakota (even the furniture store shopkeepers we called had trouble coming up with suggestions), but a glance at the Bismarck Antiques Mall tells us that it’s a solid place to spend an afternoon looking for kitschy accessories and kitchenware, from serving platters to pitchers. Or if you’re patient, The White House Co., an events rental warehouse, sells some of its vintage pieces twice a year.

Ohio: Euro Classics Antiques in Columbus

For 35 years, this family-owned shop has been a go-to for Arts and Crafts furniture and other 100-year-old treasures, like flat files, dining room sets, and sideboards. If you can’t make it inside the shop, which is open Thursday through Sunday, its eBay site is equally alluring. 

South Dakota: Urban Archaeology in Sioux Falls

A nearly endless supply of walnut mid-century dressers, credenzas, and desks awaits at this family-run shop. There’s also a solid selection of lighting and accessories, like old-timey cameras and knickknacks to set atop your, um, walnut dresser, credenza, or desk. 

Wisconsin: Spectre Vintage in Milwaukee

Owner Eric Lewis turned his love of mid-century design into a career, first with Brew City Auctions and now at his storefront, which stocks ’50s- and ’60s-era wares alongside kitschy collectibles such as throwback Coleman coolers and vanity cases.

Picnic Season Is Almost Upon Us—Here Are 24 Essentials for Spending Spring Outside https://www.domino.com/content/spring-outdoor-products/ Mon, 14 Mar 2022 05:00:00 +0000 https://www.domino.com/content/spring-outdoor-products

First things first: Congratulations, you made it through (an extraordinarily difficult) winter. Finally the sun has stopped setting just after your last bite of lunch and you can take one last good look at that down puffer coat, because spring is here. And design-wise, at least, the future has never looked so bright. 

Now that we’ve set our clocks forward an hour for daylight savings and have made it to March 19 (the official first day of spring), we’re ready for all the outdoorsy things: picnics in the park, backyard barbecues, and alfresco workouts. Here are the items we’ll have with us all season long.

For Picnics in the Park

Restaurants are cool, but spring is for sitting on a blanket on a grassy field and eating a perfect sandwich. While that’s enjoyable even empty-handed, a puffy roll-up blanket, insulated lunch box, and basket that transforms into a table will up your game.

For Outdoor Workouts

The gym won’t be necessary for those glorious not-too-hot, not-too-cold months. Rather than walking on the treadmill, activities like pickleball, outdoor yoga, and power walks with ankle weights will help you make the most of the weather.

For Backyard Barbecues

Whether you’re the grill master of the house or you’re on table-setting duty, these accessories will keep the good times rolling. When the sun goes down, turn on a portable lamp. When the mosquitoes come out, light citronella incense. And when guests get thirsty, make another batch of margaritas in a tall enamel pitcher.

The Best Sectionals at Any Size (or for Any Budget) https://www.domino.com/content/best-sectional-sofas-by-size/ Sat, 20 Feb 2021 07:10:00 +0000 https://www.domino.com/content/?p=186535

Cozy up in style.

About a decade ago, when I asked an interior designer what the best sectional sofa was, she warned me about ones that curve: “They only work in the space you have today—once you move, you’re out of luck.” So for years I took her advice and shied away from couches with corners, too scared they’d dominate my current space and mess up the future floor plan of a down-the-road apartment—one I hadn’t even starting looking for yet. What I didn’t know then is that choosing the best sectional sofa is really about picking a sectional by size. 

Now I’m older and wiser, and I know that sectionals come in all shapes and sizes—and finding one for any kind of room is a total reality, no matter how much space (or cash) you have. So, please, learn from my mistake and treat yourself to a couch you’re comfortable with These are the best sectional sofas for any size home. 

Small Sectionals

Just because you live in a studio doesn’t mean you can’t have a sofa that takes a turn. (This couple does!) Each of these options measures up to 6 feet or less, meaning there’s plenty of space to cuddle up without feeling like your sectional is the only piece of furniture in the room. 

Medium Sectionals

Photography by Brittany Ambridge

A one-bedroom apartment or midsize living room provides plenty of space to stretch your legs—each of these offerings is less than 8 feet long—and show off some personality with fabric and pattern. For example, a lilac velvet sectional gives off a luxe vibe (even if it only costs $1,100), while a dark squishy version would go great in your gaming den.

Large Sectionals

Families and singles alike will appreciate the roominess of a nearly 10-foot sectional. But with great scale comes great (design) responsibility: The bigger the sofa, the more visual and physical real estate it will take up. A neutral color works best as a base—then pack it with pillows to show off some personality.

Extra-Large Sectionals

Okay, okay, I know what I just said about keeping it neutral—but in the case of an almost-12-foot sectional, bigger and bolder is better. For example, a salmon-colored option sets the tone for the entire room—and has enough seating that no one will have to crane their neck during movie night. Similarly, a blue velvet is the perfect welcome after (or during?) a long day of Zoom calls. Or if a white sofa doesn’t bring you instant calm, then this one’s impressively low price tag ($1,230!) just might.

With all kinds of fashion retailers getting in on the home game these days, there are more sources than ever for stylish furniture, decor, and gifts. While the likes of Net-a-Porter and Matches Fashion have the luxury market cornered, we turn to Ssense when we’re looking for something with a little edge on a tighter budget—especially where presents are concerned. The Montreal-based e-tailer never fails to capture our attention with its expanding home edit, placing supersmall runs from emerging designers like Ekua next to classics like Alessi and contemporary staples like Hay. Here are the discounted picks we’re eyeing right now.

Very Nice Table Accessories for Even Nicer Prices

If you’re seeking statement placemats, surefire serveware, and “where’d you get that?”–inducing mugs for the host in your life, you’ve come to the right place. There‘s discounted Sabre, Ichendorf Milano, and more. 

Decor Deals We’re Slacking Each Other About

The decor at Ssense varies from zany and wildly colorful to extremely pared back, but it all makes for good gifts. Whether you’re a minimalist or maximalist, some of our of-the-moment favorites are in the sale section—that includes a Studio Kallang mirror, Hay cushion, and Muuto side table.

All Alessi, All on Sale

You can always count on some Alessi on sale at Ssense. What’s included now is extremely giftable, from Ettore Sottsass–designed grinders to minimalist-chic serving utensils. Whether it’s a fun kettle or an eye-catching salt shaker, we are coveting it all. 

Don’t Snooze on the Bedding and Bath

A serious section of bedding and bath is on sale, from cool checked hand towels to cheery yellow duvet covers. We spotted Tekla, Hay, Baina (a Jenna Lyons fave), and more among the pickings.

It seems like all of our favorite design studios and retailers have dropped new sectional sofas and side tables over the past few months if not days. To help you get a handle on all of the powder-coated aluminum, weather-resistant wicker, and plush Sunbrella-covered cushions fresh on the market, we plucked the most noteworthy brand additions and organized each by newness, below—and there’s more to come. If summer soirees and backyard barbecues aren’t already on your mind, they will be shortly. 

Serena & Lily

Stripes are going strong in Serena & Lily’s outdoor furniture introductions. Pair the graphic Sundial chaise with, say, a tiny wicker table meant to hold an umbrella and perhaps a glass of Sancerre, and you’ve created the ultimate beach house vibe.

Article

Summer is for lounging, and Article’s new Lubek collection is making us want to read, nap, and repeat. Low-to-the-ground acacia wood platform frames give the pieces a simple, modern look that will never go out of style. Plus it’s tough to find quality upholstered outdoor seating for less than $799.

Neighbor

Courtesy of Neighbor

DTC furniture brand Neighbor recently launched the XY collection, and we’re loving the earthy palette. Tubular steel with a powder-coated finish makes the pieces durable and easy to clean. To keep things comfy, the chairs come with a removable cushion made of quick-dry foam and fadeproof Sunbrella fabric. Fun fact: The table base also doubles as an umbrella stand.

Desigh Within Reach

Courtesy of DWR

Designer Gabriel Tan was inspired by the idea of creating “soft islands” that feel like private getaways, which explains the rounded edges and soothing shapes in his Softlands outdoor collection for DWR. The chair, which also comes in sofa and chaise longue sizes, is made of teak, all-weather rope, and removable cushions with quick-dry foam filling and UV-resistant Sunbrella fabric. The coffee table also comes in a side table size and is made from ceramic stone and slatted teak.

Crate & Barrel

Courtesy of Crate & Barrel

Crate & Barrel’s new Anguilla outdoor collection offers seating in every size imaginable. From a seven-piece U-shaped configuration to a single lounge chair, the assortment could find a place in nearly any backyard. Durable solid teak frames and weather- and fade-resistant acrylic fabric mean you’ll be able to enjoy it for many summers to come.

CB2 

Courtesy of CB2

Even though these are brand-new pieces, they may look slightly familiar; that’s because the same design was used in an indoor bouclé version introduced a few years back. Both are from CB2’s collaborations with Ross Cassidy, and we’re so into the wicker version that we’d consider using it indoors, too.

Arhaus

Courtesy of Arhaus

We’re loving the Togo-esque look of these new laid-back loungers. The low-slung seats are upholstered in bleach-cleanable, fade-resistant, anti-mildew, and eco-friendly fabric, with frames made from 100% marine-grade engineered hardwood that’s reinforced with steel hardware fittings. You can configure the different sizes to create a sectional or just enjoy a seat for one.

West Elm

Courtesy of West Elm

Does it get any more coastal grandma than West Elm’s new Westport collection? Made from handwoven all-weather recycled wicker, it basically turns any backyard into a scene from Nancy Meyers’s Something’s Gotta Give. The wide arms double as a surface for drinks or snacks, setting you up for prime relaxation.

RH

Courtesy of RH

We’re digging the tubular shapes in RH’s new Vigo teak collection. The cushions are sold separately and offered in a whopping 73 fabric options. You can also choose from natural or aged teak, both of which are “from forests regulated by Indonesia’s Sustainable Forest Management system, designed to promote the sustainability of future teak harvests.”

This $60 Half (!) Umbrella Makes Finding Shade in Your Itsy-Bitsy Outdoor Space So Easy https://www.domino.com/style-shopping/amazon-half-round-outdoor-umbrella/ Thu, 14 Mar 2024 05:12:00 +0000 https://www.domino.com/?p=330875

“It’s a game changer.”

“I don’t know if you know this, but apartments in New York are tiny,” jokes Ryan Dziadul, vice president of PR and business development at Jonathan Adler. So when he and his husband (and their new dog, GoGo) moved into a new roomier apartment in Manhattan’s Midtown East neighborhood, they were thrilled to see it came with a terrace, which they planned to use as another room.

Photography by Ryan Dziadul

The only problem? The outdoor space is only about 4 feet wide, and even though they wanted it to be where they’d sip their morning coffee, eat dinner, and unwind at the end of the day, a traditional round outdoor umbrella just wouldn’t fit. Enter the half-round outdoor umbrella, which Dziadul’s husband found on Amazon and for only $60. “I did not know there was such a thing,” he admits. “But we’ve had it for two weeks and it’s already a game changer.”

Now the pair can dine alfresco even when it’s drizzling, and when the sun hits the terrace during the day, they can lounge in the shade. With the twist of a knob, Dziadul can easily put the umbrella up or down (though he says on his particular one, the directions are backward), and it’s sturdy enough to withstand New York’s windy winter and prespring showers. 

You don’t need a tiny terrace to use one in your own space. The half-round shape is ideal next to fences and walls or in cramped outdoor spaces. Dziadul’s favorite feature? The sunny orange color, though it’s available in five other shades, too. “I like to think it’s a treat for the neighbors across the street,” he says. “It’s not only a gift for us, but a gift for them.”

They say a rug ties a room together, but we’d argue that a quilt does the job even better. Stitched patterns over block-printed florals and graphic grids in punchy palettes draw the eye in so much so that, as far as we’re concerned, it doesn’t really matter what else is going on. 

And they don’t only belong draped over a bed or piled high with other soft throws for chilly nights. One thing’s for certain: The handmade quilts from brands like Studio Ford and Thompson Street Studio (seen in the feature image) are true works of art. If you’re on the hunt for wall decor, you might want to consider hanging one of our picks for an even bolder statement. 

Color-Drench It

Sometimes a stitched grid is all the pattern you need. While Hawkins New York’s is more of an investment, H&M’s $111 option will get you the same vibe for a fraction of the price.

Go Bold or Go Home

Not for the timid decorator, eye-catching textiles are the best way to create a room with real personality. If you ask us, Kotn’s high-contrast quilt is a great place to start.

Put It in Neutral

If switching from a duvet to a quilt already feels like a big move, why not ease into it with a more muted palette? From the earth tones in Coyuchi’s design to the pale beige colorway in Schoolhouse’s popular Stillwater style, there’s a whole world of quiet quilts out there.

Even though our closets hold some of our most important possessions, we inevitably end up neglecting them. So we’re asking clever homeowners and renters to share their time-tested organizing methods that really (really!) work in our new series, Reclaim Your Closet.

Having three closets in New York City is a big deal—no argument there. But that doesn’t mean organizing them will be a breeze. Take it from Hallie Gould, editor in chief and GM at Byrdie and Brides, who has two closets in the bedroom and one in the hallway of her Greenpoint, Brooklyn, apartment. The issue? They’re all equally tall, deep, and narrow. “The city is known for a lot of magical things, but unfortunately an abundance of space isn’t one of them,” says Gould. Storing her many shoes and jeans was a huge pain point. “I wanted everything to feel accessible,” she adds. What her bedroom closets, in particular, needed was optimizing. Cue the expert.

Gould recruited New York City–based professional organizer Jeni Aron after using Yelp’s Request a Quote feature, which helps connect anyone looking to achieve a task with the right professional in their area (and it makes budgeting and scheduling supereasy to do at one time). “I don’t think she had a real understanding of the inventory up there,” says Aron, noting how Gould’s sweaters on the upper shelves were way out of reach. So they got a step stool, cleared out everything in her two closets, made a plan, and got to work.

Phone a Friend (Preferably With a Car)  

First, Aron took stock of what Gould wanted to keep and cut things that were not in great shape anymore, items she had too many of, and pieces she just never wore. Aron donated as much from the toss pile as she could to Housing Works and a local Brooklyn secondhand shop called GranruMarket. “Most of my clients in the city get tripped up in getting rid of stuff when they don’t have a car to haul three or four garbage bags,” notes Aron. Taking the extra step to coordinate transportation will get you to a tidier space faster. 

Gather Your Stats

Aron’s first rule of business: Measure everything very, very carefully. This is especially important when closet space is tight, because you want to maximize every inch. “Everyone’s closet is a funky size unless you’re in a cookie-cutter high-rise,” says Aron. Likewise, don’t purchase any products until you see what you are working with or else you’ll end up buying 200 hangers when you only have 100 clothing items. “It seems obvious, but I think people get lured in by the Container Store and some of these really beautiful products, and if you don’t have a place for them, the products then just become more clutter,” adds the pro. 

Divide and Conquer

Previously Gould stored her dresses in one closet and separates in the other, but it never seemed to make getting dressed any simpler. Aron helped her split her stuff into two categories: everyday and dressy/whimsy. “She helped me realize I shop for occasions—weddings, vacations, theme parties—and wear the same few pieces on a regular basis,” says Gould. “That realization is crucial to keep in mind as I shop.”

Raise the Roof…

The black holes that used to be the top shelf of the closets are now usable thanks to the ClosetMaid risers Aron sourced (and the 24-inch-wide organizers cost only $17!). With the help of the basic shelves, every sweater and pair of sneakers is completely visible from the ground.

…Then Lower the Bar

In the right-hand-side closet that now houses all of Gould’s jeans, Aron hung a renter-friendly rod that’s got a low bar, thereby creating a tiered hanging system. The under-$15 chrome rod takes advantage of vertical space (no tools required), so Gould could say goodbye to messy pants piles for good.

These Heels Were Made for Hanging

Gould had an over-the-door shoe rack before Aron stepped on the scene, but the problem was she couldn’t close the door with it hanging there. So they opted for a streamlined-looking option (with pockets!) that’s slimmer and more aesthetically pleasing than the generic version. Psst: That doesn’t mean it’s more expensive (it was $12 on Amazon). 

The pairs Gould wears the most often are on the door for easy access, while the ones that are for special occasions are out of the way on the highest shelves. “I can still easily access them with a step ladder, but it makes putting things away more of a reality,” says Gould.

The best part about having a professional organizer come into your space and revamp one corner is that the effects are long-lasting. Immediately after Aron left, Gould got to work on reorganizing her jewelry, makeup, and hall closet. “It felt incredible, like I was giving my stuff to a grown-up home,” says Gould.

Installing a sconce always involves a sacrifice. If you want it hardwired, you’ll need an electrician, and if you’re just mounting it, a dangling cord isn’t always pretty. But when you take electricity out of the equation altogether, you’re looking at the easiest installation of all time. Meet: the wall candle sconce. They might call to mind old estates like the one we fell in love with in Saltburn, or perhaps a moody castle from Game of Thrones, and that’s exactly why we’re into them. There’s something comforting about illuminating your home by striking a match instead of shouting at Alexa to dim the lights.

While you can absolutely go vintage (this $12 option from Chairish might be the best deal we’ve ever seen), plenty of our favorite brands, from CB2 to H&M Home, are offering their takes on the candle sconce. If you’re intrigued but have no idea where you’d hang one, we suggest purchasing a pair to flank a fireplace, cabinet, bed frame, or piece of art—or integrating a single one into a gallery wall. 

And because going through expensive tapers isn’t ideal, we suggest buying these editor-approved Amazon ones in bulk. That way, it won’t feel like lighting your candle sconces is only for special occasions.

Made in Denmark in the 1970s, this sconce has likely seen quite a few walls. Welded amber and amber glass isn’t a combination we see too often, making it extra-special.

Cordless lighting and entertaining were on your mind during the shortest month of the year. While you did also shop for decor like colorful throw pillows, whimsical shelving, and tiny travertine trays, your product picks were all about setting the mood for a meal or gathering. An editor-loved, actually chic beverage fridge continues to find its way into your carts, and so does an adorable ergonomic pizza cutter, portable lamps, and a recycled glass serving bowl. Read on for your February top 12, below. 

Lalavon Cordless Lamp

This cordless lamp caught our style editor’s eye while she was perusing Instagram last month, and then it caught yours. Its cute tilting shade, tap-activated light temperatures, and touch-to-dim feature all pair with a contemporary matte-finish metal. The little wonder looks to be out of stock at the moment (likely thanks to you!). But if you haven’t picked one up yet, add it to your list and keep an eye on its stock.

Smart Tiles Peel-and-Stick Backsplash

Social media offers up a bevy of ideas when it comes to DIY projects—and they’re often budget-friendly. Our home editor spotted this backsplash product on Tiktok and had to do a double take to assure it was peel-and-stick. You loved the “looks like zellige” vibe, too, picking up packages of it in droves.

Nawgnail Travertine Jewelry Dish

We immediately clocked the throw pillows in the pods of Love Is Blind’s latest season as a mix of West Elm’s Half Moon Layered Blocks covers and the Split Colorblock indoor-outdoor pillows. You made a beeline to the ones from West Elm, two colorful, geometric styles that pop on a neutral sofa.
