Once all of that spring cleaning we’ve been wanting to do (the one we're totally procrastinating about doing) is finally done, what better time to give our space a bit of a makeover?
When it comes to how we choose to decorate our homes, we want it to be a direct reflection of ourselves, showcasing our individuality and personal tastes. So, much like how we put together our wardrobes, we want to channel our inner singularity—and we definitely don’t want to have the same things as everyone else we know. That’s why we went on a mission to find the coolest places to shop for home goods that most of us probably don’t know about.
From kitchenwares to living room lighting, we rounded up 10 places to find the coolest goods for your space; whether your look is feminine, ultra-minimalist, or quirky and off-kilter, there’s a little something for everybody below.
Click through to read more about each or our picks. And don’t worry—most of these places have so many options to choose from, we promise sharing our favorites won’t leave you and your bestie with the same exact bedspread.

Dot & Bo carries an array of furniture and décor, from antique-inspired to modern minimalist—with many items on the more affordable side (okay, maybe not their $6,000+ mirrored king size bed, but we can dream, right?).

The MoMA StoreSure, when it comes to decorating our homes, we don’t typically think of a museum store as a first choice of where to shop. However, this is MoMA we’re talking about, and they've got the coolest knickknacks and housewares around.
The MoMA Store, Rainbow Flatware, $48, available at The MoMA Store.
