Home Decor in Hilo, HI

“10/10 experience! Keli‘i, the owner, is the reason so many people keep coming back. My boyfriend visited his shop back in September and made it clear we had to stop by once I finally made it to Hilo—and I’m so glad we did. The shop is full of fun, unique trinkets, hand curated by Keli‘i himself. He knows the story behind every single one. When we visited, he was hand weaving bracelets and making leis right there in the shop—you could really see the care and effort he puts into his artistry and into creating such a welcoming space. Nothing compares to the hospitality you’ll receive from this warm and generous Hawaiian native. His passion and knowledge make the experience unforgettable. I can’t recommend this place enough—it’s an absolute must stop when you’re in Hilo! I already can’t wait to go back and visit again when we return to the island.”

“We were very pleased with Geri's concerns for what we thought we needed. She was patient, educational, and did not attempt to pressure us. VERY much appreciated.”

“Once in Hilo is a moderately upscale boutique with hand-made silk blouses, art crafts like koa wood pepper mills and wine stoppers, hand made (hilarious) Filthy Soaps, dish towels, jewelry and huge giant tikis. The tikis are for sale for either 9K or 10K (I forget) but they don't ship them for good reason. If you want those tikis, you gotta show up with your crew and have the help of several men to lift those gorgeous hunks of wood. Tiki carving is becoming a lost art. The lady in the store was super nice and friendly, attentive and gave a lot of history for each item I was interested in but I ended up not buying anything due to being on a budget, otherwise I would have bought that cool steampunk-looking pepper grinder for $125.00, or the amazingly awesome Tidepool Koa Wood Table for $2,650.00.”

“Wonderful experience! Shanna located exactly what we were looking for, and very quickly. Piece was delivered in excellent condition and is perfect for our needs.We will certainly call on her for any future furniture or decor items.”

“Fantastic wood gallery and service with Aloha! I stopped in for the first time and was greeted by Claudia.

If you are looking for a one of a kind 100% Locally hand crafted wood item RK Woods has anything you need and more! They do custom work also no be shame ask for a custom piece. RK Woods has the best hand fine crafted woods selection in Hilo check them out!”

“Such gorgeous, organic wood designs! This store is a lovely mix of affordable local arts (jewelry, ceramics, fabric art, etc) and high end furniture designs from one of a kind woods obtained through local arborists. The owner/designer Jonathan is wonderful to chat with; so worth stopping in to wander the display rooms and be amazed in every one.”

“What a treat to run into Bruce’s shop after shopping from his other beautifully curated stores in California (Berkeley and Oakland) many years ago! It was a wonderful coincidence and incredibly lovely to see him again and another beautifully curated shop in Hilo!”

“On September 16th, when my husband's six siblings and I went sightseeing in Hilo, we happened to meet Asako, who worked at the store, and we looked into the store. It's a very nice shop with a great sense of style, stocking items such as hats and quilts that the owner has carefully selected and can only be found in Hawaii. Be sure to stop by when you go to Hilo. Asako-san, thank you for your kindness ??”

“We purchased a sofa at Paradise Plants in Hilo, but our home is on Oahu. We just loved this couch, it was different and very much island style. Paradise Plants did an amazing job wrapping it up and took it to young brothers for a minimal fee. We received the couch in perfect condition and they were very very helpful making it easy for us to purchase it. I highly recommend Paradise Plants and when we return to Hilo we plan on visiting them again. Shout out to Shannon and Vickey.”

“Went to Home World Furniture and was greeted immediately by an associate. We were asked what we were looking for and shown several options to choose from. At no time did either of us feel pressured to make a purchase. It was a very pleasant experience. The associate, went as far to make sure we got the best price availabl, gave us a list of all furniture stores who carried the same item we were interested in. The associate suggested that we go home with the list and check the other stores out before making our decision.We did just that but didn't get the same treatment as we did at Home World in Hillo nor did they have the same amount of inventory either. I was surprised how we were pressured to make an immediate choice and make a purchase at the competing stores.In the long run we decided to go back to Home world and make our purchase. If, in the future we find the need to buy more furniture we will go to Home World. We will tell family and friends about Home World when they are looking for furniture too.”

“I ordered the custom pyrography platter from this wonderful business. I have long since admired similar works often found in hotels and store since I was a teen. I have been to the islands many times and owning such a work has long been a dream of mine. What can I say the platter is absolutely stunning and much loved. It also arrived carefully packaged so as not to cause any damage. I would recommend this business to anyone seeking out a lovely piece of art whether from home or visiting the islands. I was not on the right island when last I visited, but next time I am I look forward to visiting in person.”
