With an impressive array of designer brands in styles from Scandinavian chic to Memphis-inspired and everything in between, it’s hard not to stock up on candles, pillows, cookware, and table items. (Pro tip: Organize your shopping experience with the Shop by Style page, which lets you browse selections based on your favorite look.) Here, find five of the coolest names in décor now available at Nordstrom, plus we find them all.
With stunning colors presented in unique shapes, Maison Balzac is a great source for the modern table. Dress up a spring dinner party by adding a pair of warm yellow hexagonal cups (the subtle side profile looks elegant; the gradient is totally festive) plus some candle holders and tapers. (Bonus: they all also make great gifts.) From pastels to rich amber to smoky gray, there’s a chart for every style. Can’t you decide? Try this set of glassware in four different colors, or mix and match with a few different items from the show.
For a dose of minimalism: Ferm Living
Leave it to Ferm Living to come up with a watering can so stylish that you’ll actually want to display it after use. The Danish brand has all the essentials for plant parents, from modern planters designed solidly for indoors or out (a raised bed works well under a window sill, while powder-coated steel means it can stand up to bad weather) to a Bauhaus-inspired balcony box perfect for those Working with a small balcony. If you have limited natural light or you don’t have an outdoor space, this cushion with curvy leaves and a loose shape will give a similar effect. Bonus: No watering needed!
A bottle of wine and a bouquet of flowers is great to bring to an evening out with friends, but if plans are a bit extravagant, say a weekend at someone’s house, going the extra mile is a nice touch. Tales of delicious Italian spring scented candle comes in a Murano glass holder and is a great example of thoughtful and luxurious gift. With 100 hours of burning time, it will last a long time, and when finished, the empty jar can become a vase, pencil holder, or votive holder.
For a vintage feel: myset
Misette tableware has a vintage pop art feel, but doesn’t have the chips, scratches, or uneven numbers that come with vintage pieces. Its sister brand’s porcelain bowls and bowls are made in Portugal, while its handmade mugs are made in Brooklyn. Dinnerware, whose designs range from psychedelic swirls to hand-applied floral accents, would look great with linen placemats and some pointy candles. The only thing missing was a home cooked meal and a bottle of champagne.
MoMA Design Store’s focus on high-performance, beautifully designed household goods means there’s something for everyone, whether it’s a stunning lamp, Nicholai Wiig-Hansen porcelain, or a stacked jewelry box. In the kitchen, a Memphis-inspired wok and pot may not make your food taste better, but it looks good enough that you don’t need to hide it between uses. And it’s not just about looks; This Italian-made design has been updated with a non-stick, scratch-resistant interior – but form meets function typical of the MoMA Design Store.
