Tired of visiting the usual chain stores at the Galleria Mall, or ordering furniture online only to discover that it doesn't look or feel how you expected? There is no better way to shop for furniture and home decor than by visiting stores in person to see and test how pieces actually look and feel before buying. If you live in the North Sacramento region, you may not realize that there are some fantastic local furniture shops to be found here. If you are looking to spruce up your home, check out these 3 home furnishing stores in Rocklin, Loomis, and Granite Bay, California:
The Feathered Nest
3264 Taylor Rd, Loomis, CA 95650
The Feathered Nest in Loomis, California, is a delightful shopping destination with small town character. Located just past the charming main strip in Loomis, this store offers a beautifully curated selection of furniture, home decor, and decorative accents. Test chairs and sofas, get a feel for table heights, explore artwork, kitchen wares, and linens, or see and touch their displays of rugs and textiles. They house a mix of classic, timeless furniture, and quirkier pieces that will add personality to your home. Make a day of it, and stop one of the local restaurants before or after exploring the shop. My own family loves to eat at Taylor's, a casual little burger spot known for its menu of more than 350 milkshake flavors.
2. Pottery World
4419 Granite Dr Suite B, Rocklin, CA 95677
Pottery World was one of the first furniture and decor stores I visited after moving to Rocklin. Their name stems from their large selection of outdoor furniture, fountains, and pottery. However, as an interior designer, I find the real treasures to be inside. They offer a large assortment of furniture, lighting, decorative accents, and artwork, as well as a colorful selection of fake flowers, clothing, jewelry, and personal care items. While you ponder which pieces you like best, you can stop at their in-store restaurant. With cozy indoor seating and an outdoor patio, it's the perfect spot to take a break and enjoy a coffee or a full meal. Located alongside I-80 in Rocklin, Pottery World is an easily accessible destination for anyone visiting from a nearby city.
3. The Shop by Design Shop
8705 Auburn Folsom Rd. Granite Bay, CA 97546
The Shop in Granite Bay, California is an 18,000 square foot home furnishings destination sure to have something for everyone. Their style leans transitional and traditional, but includes more modern pieces, too. They have a Visual Comfort Lighting showroom, as well as a large selection of rugs, pillows, artwork, and hardware. Their new expansion makes it easy to test a range of chairs and tables to find the look and feel that's right for you. I felt a bit like Goldilocks testing every chair in the store, and was reminded that at just 5'-2" tall, many dining chairs leave my feet floating above the floor. Wouldn't it be nice to know how a chair fits your frame before 6 of them are delivered to your doorstep?
BENEFITS OF SHOPPING LOCAL:
There are many reasons to visit these stores - style, service, selection! Here are a few:
Support your community by supporting local small businesses. Stores like these are an important part of the local economy, run by ambitious, hard-working shop owners who understand the value in curating a beautiful in-person shopping experience.
I said it before and I'll say it again: testing furniture in person before making a purchase can save you a lot of hassle, stress, and wasted money when online images don't meet your expectations.
Shopping is fun! Get off your computer, go out into the world, and enjoy the simple pleasure of walking through a store and touching things.
