Have you ever felt a creeping agitation brought on by the burning desire to redecorate your space? Once I get bitten by the interior design bug, there’s simply no turning back. I spend every waking moment fantasizing about finding the perfect piece of furniture or decorative touch that I’m convinced will simply transform my home—and with it, my entire life. While you’ll be shocked to find that my life remains relatively unchanged, at least my thorough internet sleuthing has led me to some of the very best home decor brands around.

The Best Home Decor Brands
You’re probably familiar with some of the bigger brands and retailers available. But part of the thrill of decorating is finding unique brands that can capture your attention with an unexpected piece. Curating an aesthetic requires a fair amount of dedication. But trust me: it’s worth the effort. We spend so much time at home that it feels like an extension of our own identities.
When it comes to finding the best home decor brands, it’s important to look for shops with a strong vision and style. You want to fill your home with pieces that are on-trend but also timeless and classic. Now that you have all your design inspo mood boards ready to go, it’s time to do some shopping.
Casa Zuma
It would be impossible to kick off a roundup of the best home decor brands without a shameless self-plug. Because with Camille at the helm of all of Casa Zuma’s design choices and curation, you have to trust it’s going to be good. And good—drool-worthy—the selection is. The vibe is earthy and organic, with ceramics, serving dishes, and now furniture from some of the world’s top artisans who are true masters of their craft. I now have collected every single Casa Zuma mug available, and I have my eye on the dinnerware sets…
