20 Asian-Owned Home Decor Brands That You'll Shopping All Year
It's always a great time to celebrate diversity within the design industry. Not only does shopping with intention make it possible to secure unique home decor of good quality, it allows you to support small businesses that are lesser known. With Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month in May, we've decided to spotlight a few of our favorite Asian-owned home brands that offer gorgeous, high-quality collections.
No matter your design aesthetic — traditional, contemporary, eclectic or boho, you're sure to find home goods that elevate your space. These Asian makers, designers and creatives bring us everything from modern planters, funky candles and colorful glassware to well-made furniture and one-of-a-kind decor.
Find a playful mix of creative cultural pieces (think: Japanese sakeware, glass teapots and hand-painted vases) and minimalist home essentials (hint: weighted blankets, storage organizers and innovative cookware). Plus, we sprinkled in home brands that sell cleaning products, affordable houseplants and memory foam pillows.
This curated list makes it easier to shop AAPI-owned businesses. Just note that we've only scratched the surface — there are many other incredible home brands out there. If you're looking for more ways to show your support, you can read our stories on Asian-owned beauty brands, AAPI-owned fashion brands and gifts from Asian-American and Pacific Islander brands.
