Decorate More: North Seattle Home Decor Stores
Part of the fun of moving into a new apartment is decorating it just so and making every room an extension of your own personality. You know what that means! A trip to the store for the finest home decor. Whether you’ve just been approved for Cooper Apartments or you’ve been a resident for a while and are looking to spruce up your space, you’ll have plenty of options for local shops to keep your decor game on point.
Home Goods - 5 minutes, 0.6 miles
The closest home goods store is none other than the aptly named Home Goods. This national chain excels in its furniture and home accents offerings as well as storage solutions. With styles ranging from subdued, modern elegance to quirky statement pieces being just a short drive away, you may have to resist the urge to be first in line for every sale.
Goodwill - 8 minutes, 2.2 miles
For the adventurous DIY-er, the Goodwill is a treasure trove of possibility. Second hand furniture is a great way to be environmentally conscious and decorate on a budget. If you find something that’s ALMOST perfect, don’t underestimate the power of a good paint job.
If you find yourself donating your own items, hold on to the donation receipt they give you. At the end of the year, if you itemize deductions on your taxes, you can claim a tax deduction for clothing and household items that are in good condition. That’s good for the community and for you!
Target - 9 minutes, 2.7 miles
Who doesn’t love a Target run? This retailer is in the Top 10 of the United States for a reason. They sell everything from clothes to electronics to groceries - all at an affordable price. Their furniture has a classic look guaranteed to streamline the aesthetic of your apartment. Keeping your space up to date with seasonal accessories will be a breeze as they update their inventory regularly throughout the year.
Bed Bath & Beyond - 10 minutes, 2.6 miles
Bed sheets, bath towels, and more - oh my! There’s something for every room at the home goods superstore that is Bed Bath & Beyond. From items on your must-have list to things you didn’t even know existed but now can’t live without, you’ll be amazed at the huge selection. Have a big ticket item in mind? Be savings savvy and sign up for their email list to receive a 20% coupon.
The Phinery - 12 minutes, 3.5 miles
The Phinery is a locally-owned Pacific Northwest gem. This interior design studio and home store offers consulting services, a helpful online blog, and a brick and mortar store where you can pick from a selection of beautiful accessories with muted tones. It’s worth a visit for the inspiration alone.
Crate and Barrel - 17 minutes, 6.7 miles
For stylish accents and modern designs, you have to go to Crate and Barrel. You’ll be able to outfit your apartment in a way that looks straight out of a magazine. Their home essentials are thoughtfully curated to enhance your daily life and make sure your home looks good at the same time.
Chances are you’ve been looking around the room and are already mentally rearranging the key components of whichever room you’re in; and we agree - a lamp would look great right there. Now that you know the best places to buy your home decor, all that’s left is to get out there and cultivate your dream home! Happy shopping.
