All our experts agree that shopping vintage and bringing antique pieces into your home is the key to achieving a home that looks and feels like you.
“There’s nothing less interesting to me than when a room is one-note or if someone sees a page in a catalog, throws it all in their cart, and hits purchase,” interior design star Nate Berkus once told House Beautiful. “For me, vintage and antique things have always been a real opportunity to drive home the personality of the people who live or work in the space.”

1stDibs is a prolific source for antiques from all over the world. Shop by period, style, material, and even place of origin to find exactly what you want from vetted dealers. “It’s a way of not limiting yourself to what else is out there. It has a lot of furniture with so much personality, things you don’t see in a regular store,” says designer Erik Millan.
We can’t list designer favorites without mentioning one of the largest online retailers: Amazon. While it’s a known fact that Amazon sells everything (tiny houses included), did you know that Amazon has its own furniture lines, Rivet and Stone & Beam? Designers praise Amazon for its quick delivery of coffee table books, pillow inserts, and vases.
The infamous Nomad sofa makes Burrow not just a designer favorite but an internet-wide favorite. The young and exciting home furnishings brand offers seating arrangements, storage shelves, rugs and tables on its website. The best part? Burrow’s sofas and sectionals are modular so you can rearrange them as needed.
