64 independent home shops/brands on my radar
Let's support small businesses while acquiring unique decor to create a singular home
I’ve been collecting sources for unique homewares — up-and-coming (and long-established) brands, vintage re-sellers, curated shops — and I’m sharing them all with you!
I believe home decor with character is key to creating a collected, personal home where one can thrive and make every day special. But, one of the biggest obstacles is actually identifying where to buy it.
I started Sense of Spencer, in part, to solve the sourcing problem I had myself — so many of the of the cool brands and interesting pieces I liked were in Europe. Short of blowing a quarter of my budget on shipping/duties, I set out to find and shine a light on worthy home shops and brands in the U.S.
I figure I’m not alone in this. We all know the mainstream retailers, but it’s much harder to discover the niche brands, shops, and makers. Precisely because of that, even those of us with the best intentions might default to what we know, at the expense of finding things that are truly special and patronizing small businesses that really need our support to continue offering these options.
So, this list is my attempt to consolidate as many independent home shops and brands as possible to make it easier for us all to shop small, and therefore collect unique, in the pursuit of a singular home.
In case you’re curious, all of the businesses meet this criteria (to the best of my knowledge):
U.S.-based
Independently owned
Available online via website or IG (as opposed to brick and mortar only)
The focus is mostly on decor, but there’s some furniture
Offer a selection of unique, high quality pieces, new or vintage/antique
I have one ask for you — this list is by no means exhaustive, so please leave a comment with home businesses you love to keep the list growing. (If viewing on email, click on the logo to navigate to Substack to comment.)
