As an interior designer, one of my favorite parts of the job is finding one-of-a-kind pieces that truly make a home sing. If you’re looking to elevate your Denver-area home with unique and high-quality items, these three stores have something to suit every design style – from sleek urban lofts to cozy mountain cabins.

Modern Nomad is an eclectic marketplace that feels like a cross between a global bazaar and a high-end boutique. Located in a 1920’s historic building, Modern Nomad is actually a collective of mini-stores housed under one roof, each with its own unique take on decor. Walking through the space, you’ll find a curated selection of vintage and contemporary pieces, textiles, lighting, and art from various vendors that each bring their own flavor, whether that’s bohemian, mid-century modern, or globally inspired.
