Home decor stores are really shaking things up in the industry by teaming up with well-known designers and tastemakers. These awesome collaborations have totally changed the game in interior design, giving us the chance to enjoy beautiful pieces at a much lower cost than the designer's own brand - and I’m thrilled to share my favorites with you! I've either specified their brand collection for my client projects or have drawn inspiration from their incredible creativity.
In this post, we're going to take a deep dive into the world of furnishings and home decor collaborations with some of the hottest furniture stores out there like CB2, Crate & Barrel, West Elm, and Lulu & Georgia. These exclusive items are all about sophistication and style. But here's the catch – they won't be available for long! We’ve rounded up our favorites from each collection so you won't miss out on the chance to transform your living space with these amazing pieces.
Lawson Fenning x CB2
If I had to design a space using just one source, they'd definitely be one of my top picks. Lawson-Fenning has an amazing brand collection that's a fantastic blend of their own amazing work and some unique collaborations. I'm personally really drawn to their casegoods collection, which combines understated elegance with a strong architectural influence.
The collaboration between CB2 and Lawson-Fenning has brought us an absolutely stunning collection. It captures the essence of California's design heritage, masterfully translated by founders Glenn Lawson and Grant Fenning into each and every piece. Their inspiration spans different design movements, from Arts and Crafts to Mid Century and 1970s California design, all highlighting simplicity and functionality. And let's not forget the natural elements and warm materials that bring out the west coast charm!

Athena Calderone x Crate & Barrel
How can we miss the multi-hyphenate Athena Calderone and her Pinterest-famous Brooklyn townhouse? She is a renowned lifestyle expert, author, and founder of the lifestyle brand, EyeSwoon. I truly admire how she skillfully mixes antiques, vintage pieces, and modern design to create a cohesive and inviting space that surprises you in a good way.
Athena teamed up with Crate & Barrel to bring her unique style to life. Her exclusive collection of large furniture, decor, and dinnerware is a perfect blend of French mid-century modern and Italian 1970s inspiration.
