So you’ve bought a new house or condo. Hooray! Now, to make it a home. Whether your style is modern and minimalist or edgy and eclectic, San Francisco has plenty of places to shop for furniture and home accessories that can make your home stand out. Bonus prize: All make excellent sources for holiday shopping (#shoplocal). Here is a by-no-means comprehensive list of our favorite curated, independent decor shops.

Acacia (415 Valencia St, Inner Mission, 415.643.4847, acaciasf.com)
With a hip, Scandinavian vibe, Acacia offers a broad array of products to smarten up any room, and the people and pets who occupy them. Acacia shares the space with local natural skin care maker Heliotrope—again, hello holiday shopping.

Black & Gold (2200 15th St, Duboce Triangle, 415.658.7707, shopblackandgold.com)
This shop’s namesake colors feature prominently in the product mix, giving a sheen of luxe to any space, but they also flow through plenty of pops of color to keep things fresh and bright.

Garden Court Antiques/Epoca (1700 16th St, Potrero Hill, 415.864.6895, gardencourtantiques.com/epocasf.com)
With the philosophy that great design transcends all ages, this two-in-one gallery artfully combines elements from several centuries, from 18th century French and English antiques to dapper midcentury modern lighting. Ask gallery manager Jim Gallagher about the turtleshell and porcupine boxes.

Heath Ceramics (2900 18th St, Inner Mission, 415.361.5552 x13, heathceramics.com)
A mainstay of design in the Bay Area since 1948, Heath’s matte textures and soft colors inspire a sense of comfort. The occasional vase makes a nice touch, or go whole hog and cover a wall in their gorgeous tiles. The showroom incorporates elements of wood and leather for maximum warmth, and you can enjoy a bite at Tartine Manufactory, in the same building.

Hudson Grace (3350 Sacramento St, Presidio Heights, 415.440.7400, hudsongracesf.com)
Founded in this flagship space by two former retail executives from Gap Inc. and Williams-Sonoma, Hudson Grace has expanded to a mini-empire of six design stores in California, Chicago, New York, and Atlanta. The space is clean, serene, and awash in subtle earth tones.

Maker & Moss (364 Hayes St, Hayes Valley, 415.928.1287, makerandmoss.com)
A fourth-generation San Franciscan, Matt Bissinger turns his keen eye to local artists and craftspersons to fill his space with objets inspired by natural materials: Wood, stone, fibers, and metal. The items make the vast, reformed industrial space feel warm and inviting.

March (3075 Sacramento St, Pacific Heights, 415.931.7433, marchsf.com)
March’s airy space is offset by its mix of warm, earthy furnishings. Pieces range from the austere and geometric to the plush and inviting. Perfect for the budding artisan launching a new atelier.

Paxton Gate (824 Valencia St, Mission Dolores, 415-824-1872, paxtongate.com)
If you’re looking for a conversation piece, this is the spot for you. Paxton Gate was started by two landscape designers inspired by the natural world, bringing its wonders inside. Think lots of (often quirky) taxidermy, shimmering insects in shadowboxes, and more. Sure to make someone ask, where did you get that?

The Perish Trust (724 Dividsadero St, Alamo Square, theperishtrust.com)
Rich, moody, and intriguing, The Perish Trust draws you in with a thoughtful yet eclectic mix of carefully curated used objects and new works from local artisans, all with a uniquely Californian aesthetic.

Rare Device (600 Divisadero St, Alamo Square, raredevice.net)
What started out as a gift and bricabrac shop has blossomed into a charming source for local, artisanal wares. With a bent toward the starkly modern and colorful, Rare Device is chockablock with shoppable, giftable items sure to delight.

Stuff (150 Valencia St, Mission Dolores, 415-864-2900, stuffsf.com)
Midcentury modern mavens, rejoice. This vacuous warehouse is chockablock with miles of it; don’t be surprised to stumble across a Noguchi or Eames, hobnobbing with all manner of other modern wares. You could lose a day or two in here. But hurry — Stuff will close its doors for the last time on January 31, 2024, due to a radical rent increase by the landlord.

Sue Fisher King (3067 Sacramento St, Pacific Heights, 415.922.7276, suefisherking.com)
For over 40 years Sue Fisher King has been embodying the very essence of Pacific Heights, with elegant yet complex designs for luxe homes. Think florals, animal prints (or prints with animals in them), and rich colors.

When Modern Was (4001 24th St, Noe Valley, 415.970.9030, whenmodernwas.com)
Sorta shabby chic, sorta steampunk, this one’s a bit hard to categorize, but it absolutely lures you in with quirky bric-a-brac, hand-painted furniture, and much more.

Yonder Shop (701 11th Ave, Inner Richmond, yondershop.com)
Pacifica ceramicist Linda Fahey applies a beachy vibe to this studio and shop in the Avenues. Her ocean wave-inspired plates would make any home feel like a coastal getaway.
