Home Decor in Madison, WI

“Cory is a great person and knows all about furniture, design and what we were looking for. He has helped us out before and did a great job we will always come back to him
When we need something. Slumber land always has what we need”

“Through the Century House website, I found several bed frames. However, it wasn’t until I worked with Darin that I found the Wallace bed frame and an amazing mattress. Appreciate the assistance, ease and prompt delivery!”

“One of my all time favorite vintage shops! Year round halloween decor for sale & so many beautiful items. The store is always immaculate and everything is fairly priced. The owner is also so nice and helpful. 11/10 go check it out!”

“My boyfriend and I have been looking for couches for quite some time and the experience we had at Rubins was great from beginning to end. We didn’t imagine we’d necessarily be purchasing from them when we walked in, just wanted to browse, and JJ walked up to us to greet us and started conversation with us. We ended up setting up a time with him to have him visit the house and help us in our process. After all, we had visited at least 5 different furniture stores, been looking online, and weren’t finding ANYTHING we liked. Off the bat, what JJ recommended was not a layout or color either of us would have been creative enough to come up with, and we are both so happy we went through with this process and could not be more pleased with the results. I could go on and on, but we were just very impressed by how much consideration was put into making this something that took us and our lifestyle and likes/dislikes in mind. We were very easily able to justify going a little over budget for the great quality of service and products that were provided and I would recommend anyone to at least check out Rubins.”

“Since we are already Sleep Number bed owners, it was an easy decision when we needed another one for a different location. Denise was so easy and fun to work with and made recommendations that we hadn't even thought of. I will continue to come to this location for all my needs and can't recommend them enough. Ken was in training and I see he will be someone to count on as well!”

“We LOVED working with Rugrats flooring! They were able to make my very picky dreams come true with my perfect rug!
Everyone was so kind and willing to make anything possible. Loved Richie’s communication and the hospitality of the front desk! 10/10 recommend for all your flooring needs!”

“Really good people and really great stuff. The store itself holds mostly the smaller items and is beautifully curated. Larger furniture is at the warehouse, but you can follow on Instagram or talk to the owner/employees about events or pieces you are interested in. That's how we got our working Grundig! Quality and uniqueness is prioritized, and everyone here is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the art, storytelling, and craftsmanship of decor.”

“This place is my go-to whenever I need to buy a gift or card. But I always manage to find a few things for myself as well. They have a great variety of cute, unique and high quality gifts, art and jewelry. I love that they offer so many things from local artists and makers! I’ve bought gifts here for kids, my parents, my friends…you’re sure to find something for whoever you’re shopping for, regardless of age or tastes. And the service is always friendly and thoughtful.”

“Bought a swivel some 28y ago from Rubin’s on Monona Drive. Finally stopped in to replace it. They were so helpful there. NO PRESH! And they even helped me get chair in car saving on delivery charge.

We love it!!!

“I absolutely cannot recommend Laura and her team enough. She overwhelmed each and every expectation I had. Months after completion of this project, I am still blissfully happy with the results.We chose this house because it was way under market value, and it had the footprint I wanted. It was built in 1986, and had never been updated since. We needed the entire first floor redone and opened up. We needed gas lines moved, all electrical moved, and plumbing reconfigured. We went down to the studs.Laura made the planning process exciting and easy. Picture sitting down with a great friend and talking about everything you want! She did everything to perfection, BUT I am realizing looking at the photos how many requests I really hit her with: window seat, dog "garage," pantry cabinet, side-mounted sink in the island, moving the utilities, the "BREAKFAST NOOK CONCEPT," the bin drawers, the cookie sheet drawer, the touch faucet, the refrigerated drawers and the dining room to office plan... our wonderful designer listened to all of it and made it real. Then of course she gave me the opportunity to choose all the materials: granite, tiles, flooring, paint, island legs, lighting locations and fixtures, water fixtures, cabinet fixtures, custom cabinet colors (and she even came over and helped me wear and distress it herself, spending hours on the process with me) and she guided me through all of it. She shopped with me, and budgeted with me. (Then I chose all the furniture and treatments, but she was available, had I chosen to hire her for that as well.) So somehow, it's all stuff I could never have done on my own - and yet it's all unquestionably "me." Laura had an innate understanding for MY style, and she never lost sight of my goals.Laura worked within my budget (I suspect, at some cost to her). We spent just over $100,000, which was exactly what I communicated my budget to be. She gave me an entirely new first floor for this cost. She budgeted in everything: labor, design, demolition, fees, permits, materials, hardware, and appliances. There were NO surprises along the way. She never collected until I was happy. She found ways to get me what I wanted while still staying in my budget. She NEVER, NEVER tried to “upsell” me on anything whatsoever in order to increase the project scale. She reused materials whenever possible, and guided me when it was not possible. In addition, she handles all of the “red tape.” I signed my contract, and she handled everything else. Every step of the process with her was a huge relief. Have you read, “get your designer’s estimate, then double it?” That absolutely did not happen here. I also feel that the value for the scope of this kitchen, living room, bathroom and dining room project was absolutely excellent for what we accomplished.Importantly, Laura handled the lion’s share of this project for two weeks while we were out of the country. We weren’t even here! She and her team (electrician, painter, cabinet maker, demo guys, flooring installation, gas, heating and a/c, tile and backsplash, etc.) worked late into the nights many times (we know because of the Ring app) to get everything done by each of her deadlines, our deadlines, and the inspection deadlines. When we came home, everything “ugly” or loud had been done - and most of the work was complete. How’s that for trust?Laura’s team of contractors, artisans and employees are the best, this Laura is the one in charge. Don’t be fooled by her light and easy manner - she had the scope of this project in hand from the broadest scope to the finest detail. Her blueprints and plans are precise and seasoned by experience. I am so impressed by and grateful to her. I would never use another designer to plan and execute my projects.”

“I would highly recommend working with Jeff at the Sun Praire store. He was so professional and provide excellent information in purchase today. He truly is calm and patient and kind.”

“Calabash Gifts is a truly special place. It's gifts are beautiful and unique. They have so much and the gifts are reasonably priced and affordable. The owners are a wonderful couple who will help you find something to your liking. Madison is lucky to have Calabash Gifts. Let's support our terrific small businesses. This one is a jewel!

“My wife bought me a great sundial from these folks and 4 months later it's all rusted. For the price I think it was a waste of money. The president of the company suggested repainting it👎”

“Rubin's is either your cup of tea or not. The styles are generally modern, Scandinavian inspired and very interesting. We stopped at their warehouse/larger store (there is also a design center downtown) and found a large showroom full of things I'd very much like to buy. There's a clearance area off to the side that sells floor models and returns at good discounts. We were looking for some lounge-y chairs and there were options aplenty. Helping us was very knowledgeable Barb who was never intrusive and let us look around. After making the rounds, we kept coming back to one specific chair - Barb let us know they had 2 in stock from a cancelled order (most things are made to order) in our preferred color, plus they were included in their anniversary sale. SOLD!! I work on the commercial furniture side and felt that the quality here was oberall very high and the prices, for what you get, are pretty fair. It's not IKEA prices to be fair but it's also not made in China crap that will fall apart and bottom out in a few months. You'll love it if: you appreciate mid century or modern design, want a high level of quality, want to customize items. You won't like it if: you need cupholders in your furniture.”

“I just loved this place! Such beautiful, affordable jewelry options. I left with three pendants to put on necklaces and could not have been happier with the choices, as well as the help from the staff member. A place I will definitely frequent anytime I come to Madison.”

“We recently visited this lovely little shop while we were in the area. I had a wonderful conversation with the owner, who was very kind and interesting. I found a sticker I had been looking to replace for years, and I found it in this shop. The owner gave it to me as a gift when she saw how happy I was. So thank you again! We'll visit again next time we are in Madison.”

“This is the first time shopping on this website usely I shop on instacart but they charge to much for fees. But at home has some great merchandise some stuff is expensive.”

“Nate was helpful, friendly and present for questions but didn’t pressure. It was a night and day experience difference from Ashley off Todd Drive. I don’t get anything today but will definitely be back based on this experience.”

“ROSS is my favorite store, & here's why. My feet are size 15 and it's difficult for me to find shoes in my size. I found a pair of size 15 Jordans for $65. That is an incredible deal. You never know what you'll find here. I've found awesome snapbacks, household trinkets, and other gems. Staff was also friendly.”

“We shopped at the Sleep Number store in Madison yesterday to purchase our new bed. George helped us and he was phenomenal! He was very professional and personable. He was not pushy (like sometimes salesmen can get). He really wanted to understand our needs and what we were wanting to change about our current bed situation. We got everything we needed and were in and out in about 30 minutes. I cannot recommend Sleep Number enough and will send anyone his way when they are ready to upgrade their sleeping experience!”

“I went in to purchase a new mattress. The salesman, Rey Cruz, was very knowledgeable and steered me to the mattress that was right for me. I need a lot of furniture after a cross-country move, and will definitely shop at your store.”

“We have found good clothing (mostly shirts) and shoes multiple times at afforable prices. We'll definitely be returning. The cashier service could be friendlier. Plenty of parking.”

“Visited this urban outfitters recently and have visited quite a few urban outfitters. All of the staff were really friendly and the store was very clean but I do have one issue. I feel like the men’s section was VERY limited compared to other urban outfitters and I feel like this has been a trend with urban outfitters over the past few years. I would love to see more options for men in the future like it felt like there used to be.”
