An Interior Designer’s List of Reliable Etsy Vendors

If you’ve been following along here at Clouz Houz for a while, you already know how much I love Etsy. Every Monday, I share my “Etsy Find of the Week” on Instagram, so make sure you’ve got those notifications turned on for CH! But today, I’m going beyond a single find and diving into some of my all-time favorite Etsy vendors.

It’s no secret that we sourced a lot of materials from different vendors across the globe to style and furnish our Tumalo home. From plumbing and lighting fixtures to antiques and handmade items, Etsy has been a treasure trove of unique, high-quality pieces that have helped bring our vision to life.

One of the things I love most about Etsy is that it’s a one-stop shop for just about anything you could need for your home. But, what makes it even more special is knowing that by shopping there, I’m supporting other small business owners.

Clouz Houz tip: Now, if you’re ready to dive into the world of Etsy and find those hidden gems, let me share a little insider tip: the key to a successful Etsy search is knowing the right keywords. Here are a few of my go-to phrases:

  • Vintage Lighting
  • Handmade Kilims
  • Custom Steel Drapery Rods
  • French Antiques

These are the shops I can personally vouch for — vendors who offer responsive customer service and quality craftsmanship. When I recommend them, I do so with confidence, knowing that they’ll deliver items that are as beautiful and well-made as they appear online.

So, if you’re ready to dive into the world of Etsy, here’s a list of my approved vendors. These are the shops I’ve come to trust and love, and I’m confident you’ll find something special too. Happy shopping!

Antique Furniture Pieces

Fox Den Boutique: I stumbled upon this gem of a shop while searching for the perfect butcher block kitchen island for our home. We were over the cookie-cutter designs from big chain stores, and wanted something with a bit more character. We ended up having ours locally made, but this shop has some STUNNING pieces! They offer an incredible selection of antique wooden pieces — everything from vanities and kitchen islands to armoires and cabinets. Each piece is unique, with that perfect blend of vintage charm and craftsmanship.

Durable Hardware

Paso Robles Ironworks: When it came time to hang our drapery panels (which I found at H&M—more on that later!), I knew I wanted something custom but didn’t want to break the bank. That’s when I found Iron Works. They make drapery rods to order, so you can customize them to fit your exact needs. The result? A super chic look that gives off all the vibes of high-end custom drapery hardware, but at a fraction of the cost. It’s an easy way to elevate any space without overspending.

Lighting

For our home, we turned to several incredible Etsy shops for lighting. Mullan Lighting, a larger manufacturer with an Etsy presence, provided us with high-quality fixtures that perfectly matched our vision. We also found unique pieces from Olde Brick Lighting, Bryandshop, and Smile Lamp Works. Each of these shops offers something special, from rustic to modern designs, and ensures a special ambiance for any space.

Eclectic Rugs

If you’ve seen the kilims in our Rumpus room, living room, or guest rooms and thought, “Where on earth did they find those?” — let me introduce you to Eclectic Rug. We scored these gems on Etsy, and honestly, Etsy is like rug heaven. They’ve got the best quality, authentic kilims, and a ton of unique styles.

Pillow Covers & Cushions

When it comes to pillow covers, we’ve tried out more than a few vendors and found some real gems. Flying Tack, Bo And An Studio, Hand Crafted By Misa, and Sew and Cloth are all top-notch for pillow covers. Seriously, once you’ve got your inserts, it’s so easy to justify a little pillow refresh — especially when the prices are this good! Custom pillows without breaking the bank? Yes, please!

We’ve recently discovered My Chateau Store and are seriously considering them to recover our dining chairs. They offer gorgeous seat cushions for chairs and benches, along with napkins, tablecloths, and curtains in both standard and custom sizes. If you’re looking to give your dining room a fresh look, this place should be your next stop!

We see it all the time—people spend so much money on furniture and decor, only to step back and realize… nothing actually works together. The problem? No clear plan. No defined style. Just a mix of pieces that looked nice individually but don’t create a cohesive home.
And this can get expensive—fast. Swapping out trendy items, replacing things that don’t fit, redoing entire rooms because they don’t feel right. The truth is, even the best pieces won’t shine if they aren’t working in harmony.
So, how do you avoid the cycle of design mistakes and wasted money? It starts with a vision—understanding your style, knowing what you need, and putting together a plan before you buy. This is exactly what we help with, and we’ve got something coming soon that’ll take the guesswork out of the process.

What is my style? What do I actually like? 
If you don’t know your style, you’re not alone.
This is the #1 thing I hear from clients-and it’s usually what keeps people stuck, buying things they don’t love, or feeling totally overwhelmed when it’s time to decorate.
Instead of jumping straight into shopping, slow down and observe what you’re naturally drawn to.
Start by pinning-without overthinking. Save anything that speaks to you: colors, materials, whole rooms, even fashion or travel images.
Then zoom out. What shows up again and again? A color palette? Reclaimed Wood? Soft shapes? Clean lines? Layered neutrals? 
That’s your style talking.
Want to know what comes next?
Here’s how to go from inspiration to actual intention:
1. Measure your space - Don’t eyeball it. Measure your walls, furniture, walkways— everything. This prevents major design regrets.
2. Create a flexible floor plan - Play with furniture layouts to get a feel for what fits and flows.
3. Build your shopping list - Only once you’ve done the above should you start sourcing. You’ll feel way more confident in what to look for, and way less likely to impulse buy.

I might be a little biased with this one—it hits close to home in more ways than one. This style reflects a way of living that’s grounded and intentional… rooted in nature, but designed for everyday ease. It’s where modern functionality meets the kind of rustic character that only gets better with time.
