The idea of decorating (or redecorating) your home can be daunting. Planning the colors, furniture, and decor that will bring your space to life can definitely be a challenge, but it can also be a fun-dertaking. Decor stores that have a helpful staff and unique items tend to make interior decorating a blast rather than a chore.

Not sure where to begin? Don’t worry! We’ve got a list of some of the best local home decor shops to help you get going and keep ya going til you’re happy with the results.

• You might already know, what started out as a service station is now a thriving furniture store! Ramsower’s Furniture has sophisticated furniture and accessories for every room in your home. They also provide design consulting with experienced interior designers who can help you plan the decor in your home to fit your style while also focusing on functionality. Make your house a place you are happy to call home (and that you actually use!).

• Rustic style is all the rage in home decor right now. It’s all about those nature-inspired textures and that simple yet warm and earthy feel. Make a trip to Rustic Furniture Warehouse to find furniture, rugs, and decor with that rustic style and feel. They also do custom building, so if you see something you like but need it in a different size – simply request it and they’ll be happy to go to work to make it work.

• If you’re not quite sure what style you’d like for your new digs, you’ll want to shop at a place where you can find multiple types of decor and design items. At KK’s Corner Mall, more than 20 (!!!) vendors sell trendy home decor. No matter your style or preference, you’re sure to find something to fit your taste. Shop Aztec-themed decor, handmade signs, vintage pieces, and other decorations. So, basically, shop til you drop (or if that sounds terrifying – just shop + love what you find!).

• The kitchen is the heart of the home. After all, those delicious meals you make (ahem, or pull out of a box) in the kitchen bring your family together. Stock your kitchen with cookware and cutlery to keep those dishes coming. When you shop at Whisk’d you’ll find the latest in high-quality pans, knives, cutting boards, and more. They also have elegant table lines to add a pop of color to your eating area.

• Get your kicks at Route 66 Home Decor. Shop from their three distinct collections of decor: Farmhouse Finds, Man Cave Madness, and My Vintage Home. The decor is super unique and fun and also makes a great gift! Hurry in today as many items are one-of-a-kind.

• Would you believe that there is a place in Lubbock with more than 30,000 square feet of home goods + decor? Well don’t take our word for it– go see for yourself at Coyote Candle. Before you step foot inside, you can marvel at the thousands of pots and planters in rows outside of the store. And, once you’re inside, you can marvel even more at the enormous selection of furniture and wares. Even if you aren’t decorating your home, Coyote Candle is THE place to explore and be inspired.  

• When you think of an antique shop, you may think of a dusty little spot with limited choices. This is NOT the case with Wild West Vintage. They give vintage and antique shopping an entirely new meaning with those treasures that owner Lacy Jones has carefully handpicked. Wild West also hosts a fun event called Junk Fest – a giant flea market and farmers market held at their space on the last Saturday of each month. Check it out!
