Shopping in NYC: Best Home Stores

New York City is undoubtedly one of the most amazing cities in the world to shop. I thought I’d share just a few of the stores that I love to hit when I’m there!

1. ABC Carpet & Home
ABC Home in New York City
 

This multistory flagship store has it all – rugs, furniture, antiques, textiles, accessories, etc. There’s something for everyone, whether your decorating style is contemporary or shabby chic.

Evolution Store in New York CityWhile it’s more of a cabinet of curiosities than a home store, it’s a great place to go if you’re looking for unique accessories. They also sell large botanical and animal posters such as these beauties in Lauren Liess’ family room:

 Pearl River is an Asian import store that sells everything under the sun – clothes, groceries, cookware, plants, shoes, as well as some great things for your home. I’ve heard rave reviews of their lamps and ceramics and after reading a recent post by Holly Mathis on her visit to the store (blue and white patterned bowls and ginger jars? Yes please!), it’s on my short list for sure.

John Derian is known for his decoupaged works, which are mixed in with vintage items and other unique home decorations. While I’ve never been to either of these shops (which are located right next to each other), they look just my style and are ones I’d love to make it to during our NYC visit.

The Brooklyn Flea has been ranked as one of the best flea/antique markets in the U.S., with hundreds of vendors selling antiques, jewelry, art, etc. every weekend. So I’m dying to hear from all of you who live in NYC or are frequent NYC shoppers – are there any other must-see home stores that you’d recommend?

    Happy anny!! Your story is similar to mine. It POURED the night before and alot of people couldn’t make it to the rehearsal dinner b/c the roads got bad…plus it was way out in a cute town outside of Austin called Fredericksburg. The next day , wedding day, it was raining hard on our metal roofs ….but I never worried about it….right before wedding time, the skies cleared and it was great! And we’re still happily married…yep we’ve had “stormy” times and sunny times…but maybe that was truly a great sign!

    I’m saving your post b/c one day when I return to NYC I’ve got to finally go to ABC and the Brooklyn Flea…..

    when are yall moving??

      Love that your wedding story is so similar – maybe we’re on to a pattern here 🙂 We had planned to move weeks ago but couldn’t close on our new house until mid June so we are finishing up the school year and then making our move. We are going to be only a little over an hour outside of NYC once we move so if you ever need a shopping buddy you know who to call!

    I’m very jealous right now! I haven’t been able to get to the city in about 3 years & I need my fix! You should DEF try to make it to Evolution Shop. It’s an awesome little store in SoHo (look for the skull flag hanging outside). Although it can have a teensy bit of a “creepy” factor, it’s a great place to explore…and if you like nature, then they have it. Also a great place for minerals, gems, etc.
    ENJOY THE TRIP and HAPPY anniversary!! 🙂
