We love making our living spaces look cute. But for us here at RH, we care a lot about the story, meaning, and impact our home buys have. That's why we've done a deep dive into exploring the numerous Black-owned home decor brands out there and pulling our absolute favorite pieces that are making us hit "check out." These Black-owned businesses specialize in everything from bed sheets to furniture to glassware, though this list is in no way comprehensive of the incredible talent out there.
While we celebrate Juneteenth today, these BIPOC designers and brands should be on your radar long into the future, too. Bookmark this page and start filling your cart!
Alongside the popularity of the 15 Percent Pledge, where major retailers like West Elm, Nordstrom, and Macy's have promised to devote 15% of shelf space to BIPOC brands, many retailers have created collections to make it easy and fast to discover established and emerging brands. We've tried to make it easy, too, with a list of places to discover Black-owned brands at the end of our finds.
