Denver home buyers, moving from one neighborhood to the next, are usually familiar with local furniture stores. Buyers from out of state, as well as first-time buyers, typically ask me for available Denver furniture recommendations.
Connecting a buyer to a furniture store is similar to connecting them to that perfect neighborhood and home – It depends on the composition of the family, lifestyle, taste, hobbies…
Here are a few of my top Denver furniture picks categorized by budget, lifestyle or period piece:
High End:
Denver Design District – A 3 building campus that houses everything from furniture lines, floor coverings, kitchen design, lighting, – plus every other home ware under the sun. In the old days, Denver locals were only allowed admittance with an interior designer or on selected days when they opened to the public. Now, the Denver Design District is grouped into two sections – “retail showrooms” and “trade showrooms.” The public can visit and purchase directly from the retail showrooms. The public can also purchase from the trade showrooms by using one’s own designer or one of the professionals on-site at the campus. Location: Broadway and Central Avenue, Denver. Phone and Contact: Marina Dagenais 303-282-3226
ARHAUS – More intimate than the Denver Design Center, ARHAUS offers sophisticated, mostly traditional styles with a fresh edge. An extensive collection of upholsteries, dining, bedroom and accessories give more of a boutique feel rather than a chain feel (which it is.) Two Denver Locations: 8433 Park Meadows Center Drive in Lone Tree and 171 Clayton Lane in Denver (Cherry Creek.)
Modern:
Mod livin’ – A homegrown Denver company showcasing all things mid-century modern – This video captures it all:
Location: 5327 East Colfax Avenue, Denver
Pet Friendly:
The Livable Home – Is an innovative, local Denver company that could also fall into the “high-end” section of this post. Owner, Amy McCawley’s innovativeness warrants a standalone category. Ms. McCawley selects fabrics for her store’s sofas, chairs and ottomans based on their ability to withstand pet hair and pet stains. Best of all – this is done without chemicals and instead done with careful selection of picking a fabric based on different factors, one being a tight weave. And of course, pet-lovers can order custom doggie beds for their favorite pooch. Location: 2510 15th Street, Denver
Arts and Crafts:
Modern Bungalow – Is a one-stop-shop for all things arts and crafts. From furniture to lighting to area rugs arts and craft lovers can find every possible home décor under one roof.
Location: 2594 S. Colorado Blvd. (Colorado and Yale in the U-Hills Plaza)
Green/and or Recession Busters:
Brandt & Whitney, Inc. – Okay, so they don’t actually sell furniture, rather they rehab, repair, reupholster and do custom upholstery, make slip-covers and more. A perfect solution for that favorite couch with good bones and worn upholstery or that antique armoire you keep meaning to have repaired.
Location: 4885 S. Broadway, Englewood
Inexpensive:
American Furniture Warehouse – Another local company with stores all over the Denver metropolitan area that offers inexpensive couches, bedroom suites, kitchen tables, accessories and more.
Locations: Many throughout Metro Denver
