Step away from the big-box stores. (Just for a minute. We would never deny you long walks through the Target aisles.) Indie brands give you the chance to update your home's design with a not-so-predictable furniture choice.

Not only does shopping from an independent brand give you the chance to support small businesses, but most of these companies demonstrate a higher purpose by giving back to local communities, showcasing under-the-radar artisans or following sustainable practices. Keep scrolling to discover some of our favorite brands that are sure to give your home a one-of-a-kind look.
