5 favorite Home Decor Stores in Montclair, New Jersey
Sarah Elizabeth
UPPER MONTCLAIR -
Ampersand Interiors and Garden is still fairly new to the area yet not sure where Upper Montclair (or we!) would be without it. The owner Polly has curated the store choosing beautiful and unique pieces, with an emphasis on one-of-a-kind objects made locally, and carries everything from ceramic and glass vases and dinnerware, to throws and original art. The shop also carry a variety of rug and flooring options, and Farrow and Ball brand paint and wallpaper, making it an asset to home owners and interiors designers alike. The staff could not be more friendly and there is parking behind their shop, making it an easy and enjoyable home decor destination.
Howell, just a block over is a jewel box of wonderfully curated home decor items. Their plush velvet pillows are perfection, as are their whimsical trays and colorful glassware. You will always find something unique here, and a favorite area is their jewelry selection toward the register, specially their necklaces hand-made by women in Kenya. Walk to the back to the sweet children’s decor area and I dare you to not grab something for the little person in your life! There is plenty of parking in the lot on Bellevue Ave by the train, or behind their shop.
Moss and More - What’s a home or space without plants and greenery? Also fairly new shop to upper Montclair, this beautifully-curated bouquet is a tranquil oasis of green, where you feel better just stepping inside. Their terrariums are blissful, I’d admired them around town wondering where I could find one until someone pointed me to Moss and More. Not to be missed are their succulents which subtly add color and life to a room. Just around the corner from Howell, with plenty of parking in the lot across the street.
DOWNTOWN MONTCLAIR -
Tableleg Home - Downtown Montclair just wouldn’t be the same without this wonderfully curated shop. Once described as a mini-ABC Home it has a tightly curated selection of home decor items from mirrors and table lamps, to whimsical art and their famous “Montclair” coffee mugs. Zac has rounded up the best for the home, some of our favorites include their crystal pitcher and matching glasses, the John Derian items they stock, hand-towels and lighting. There are 2 parking decks near the shop, one on North Fullerton and the other right off South Fullerton.
Swoon - Though their much-loved brick and mortar store has closed, all of the same global treasures are available at their online shop, and you can find Radika the owner, at various pop-up shops around North Jersey. Some of our favorite global finds are the festive juju hats perfect for just about any wall, as well as her silk hand-stitched quilts that are great for guest rooms or the foot of your bed for an extra pop of color. Also dont miss their woven baskets perfect for toy storage, another boutique carrying something for everyone!
