If you want to support Black-owned businesses, there's plenty of home decor and furnishings to choose from.
From candles to handmade textiles, here's a list of nine Black-owned home brands and stores you can shop.
Big and small Black-owned brands and stores are often overshadowed by major retailers, limiting the exposure they deserve and need to grow. Every February during Black History Month, many stores showcase and bring awareness to Black-owned brands and products, but unfortunately, a lot of companies stop promoting them once February ends.
To help you support Black-owned makers, brands, and retailers year-round, we put together this list of some of our favorite stores and brands that sell furniture and decor.

The shop was named "Kibo" after the highest summit in Africa. Coupled with 54, the name symbolizes the "height of contemporary African design across Africa's 54 countries," according to the website. Quagraine has assembled a vast collection of home decor, lighting, linens, and more — all created by contemporary African designers.

Albany Park has created four collections for customers to shop from, one of those being the Ẹkáàbọ̀ collection.

When it comes to painting, Clare founder and interior designer Nicole Gibbons knows how difficult it can be when shopping for the perfect wall color, and that's why she started Clare.
