BARNEY’S
This venerable fashion HQ is always a worthwhile stop, but their home section presents an impressive array of NYC-based designer creations as well as a covetable Barney’s house line.
LE LABO
Visiting this bright Elizabeth Street scent bar is a treat unto itself, but the elevated tin can Vintage candles and sleek, glass home fragrances are likely coming home with you too.
JOHN DERIAN
We’ve counted the ways we love this one-of-a-kind East Village charmer and its cheery inventory of decoupage, art and objects. Any of these display-worthy treasures will bring a smile to you and the company you keep.
THE APARTMENT BY THE LINE
This flawless concept store had us at its “buy anything that’s not nailed down” philosophy and “browse the decor in its natural habitat” retail approach. Impeccably curated furnishings and accessories are just as fun to shop from afar thanks to a clean and well organized online experience.
CANVAS HOME
We’ve been suckers for this line’s subtly stylish dinnerware for some time, and visiting the Chelsea flagship is a great way to see the full range of Canvas Home’s offerings in the flesh. The colorful decor pieces are refreshingly affordable, and the furniture line was a surprise hit. (Their Chesterfield sofas available in a rainbow of luxe linens are still on our minds).
AERO
This much-loved decor round-up from master designer Thomas O’Brien is a pleasure to peruse. The studio and shop’s contextualized arrangements will send you into inspiration overdrive. Get the look at home via their unique site setup, which is almost as fun as shopping the SoHo institution.
