Arhaus – Buckhead
Think of Arhaus as the Anthropologie of furniture design. At the Phipps location, a carved Indonesian dwelling takes up residence on the first floor, where clever displays mix with classic forms. You’ll find Bombay chests, velvet pillows, and carved candlesticks. Each artisan-made item follows current trends but feels like an artifact.
West Elm
A subsidiary of Williams-Sonoma, West Elm features contemporary furniture and accessories. Billed for its clever solutions (Plastic stemware! Coffee tables with secret panels! Corkboard wall maps!), West Elm (three locations) emphasizes clean, simple products in bright colors and designs, including bedding, rugs, tables, laundry storage, and cookware. The Atlantic Station store has also piloted collaborations with local artists and craftspeople. A Ponce City Market location, which includes a cafe and products from local makers, opened this past summer.
Pieces
Owner Lee Kleinhelter transforms vintage items into contemporary treasures with punches of color and lighthearted details. The store is also the exclusive Atlanta home for Kelly Wearstler accessories.
Bee
Bee’s eco-friendly home furnishings are fresh, witty, and practical. A standout is owner Jillian Pritchard Cooke’s upholstery line, La Ruche. Reduce your carbon footprint with unique household items such as washable sheets of canvas soaked in beeswax, used as a substitute for plastic wrap. Accessories like recycled Belgian linens, patterned poufs, and white Italian plates with pewter accents pair classic and modern styles.
CB2
Since 2000, Crate & Barrel’s younger, hipper sibling has appealed to customers looking for affordable modern furnishings. Its more compact furniture is targeted toward lofts, condos, and intown spaces. Tealight accessories, art objects, and hand-carved items inject whimsy. 1080 Peachtree Street, 404-894-3763, cb2.com
