It's set up in a warehouse and it's tucked away where not a lot of thru-traffic goes. Maybe it's the design but the couches are not the ones you sit in for for comfort, but for looks.

Omforme has been my go-to for years when I want to add a unique piece of furniture or accessory to…read moremy home, or purchase a special one-of-a-kind gift. My first purchase was a coffee table Carter made with hexagonal mirrored tiles. From then I was hooked. My next purchase was a gorgeous mid-century liquor cabinet. I've purchased elegant fun gifts for friends at Omforme -- tell Carter about the recipient and he has always had a number of great suggestions. But my favorite part of Omforme is Carter's personal restyling of furniture. He carefully restores the original to beautiful condition, and then adds a bit of flavor to update it. I have also brought him some garage sale finds or family heirlooms, and each time he has transformed it from a boring old piece of furniture with "good bones" to something I love to see and use in my home. I consider Carter my personal furniture artist and home style consultant. He has helped me change my home from "comfortable" to "warm, welcoming, and uniquely beautiful".

In fact, we saw a good deal of empty nesters shopping here on Sat morning. Aside from furniture, this is a great place to stop in for gifts and home kitsch. While, not much here fits my home's style, I really had a great time wandering around...it reminded me of trips I've taken through Northern Europe and the Netherlands. I didn't even need to dust off my passport.

What looks like miles of the restored original floors (yep, original!), a remodeled stairwell that no longer makes it seem like you're entering your aunt's musty basement. This showroom for the home is open, bright and positively stunning. Roam is a store that won't please everybody, but it will please those with modern taste and a deep pocketbook. It would also be a good place to buy an interesting wedding gift if you have very posh friends. Between high-end imported furniture to... well, still very high-end local goods (Blu Dot), there's lots of room to browse here. I must admit that Roam doesn't quite roam into my budget or personal style. When the friendly owner (I think) began to explain some of the designers they carry, I wanted to stop her and say, "All my furniture is from craigslist, m'lady." Still, I can appreciate what they are doing here. In my brain, it roams more into the category of frivolity-that-might-actually-be-kind-of-awesome.

First lets talk about location...its pretty great, not too far off Hwy 100 and Excelsior…read more There are plenty of other stores in the area, but they have their own parking lot so you don't have to try to scavenge for street parking. I came in specifically to look at Joybird sofas as they are an authorized retailer and have sofas on the sales floor. Its scary to make an online purchase (and such a large, custom purchase) without touching and feeling an item, so I was thrilled to learn this store was so close to home and had what I was looking to purchase. I had a great time working with Kristin. After countless emails and a couple visits to the store I ordered my sofa, and also ended up with a chair and lamp. Kristin was great to offer her designer opinion while listening to mine and helping me make the big decision based on my existing home design. They offer financing (OAC) and 'white glove' delivery (they take all the packaging stuff with them when they leave, set the item in the room of your choosing) just like Joybird, but they will for other items you purchase there, too. The kicker is the 2 week in home trial period. Keep it for two weeks and if you decide you hate it they will take it back to the store and offer you store credit to replace the item. This really eased my worry about spending 2K on a sofa I may not like as much in person. I can't wait until it arrives! They also have home decor items here, like pillows and lamps. Its a super fun place to just look around and get inspiration, or fall in love with a custom fox lamp which would totally look amazing on your nightstand. Or maybe that fun mounted anatomical model of a heart on your desk. Or maybe that chair with acrylic arms. You get the idea... Inventory is changing constantly, so visit often. See you there!

I immediately knew I was going to be at home in this store. There was furniture and accessories, for you neutral people there was plenty of that. For those of us who like color, plenty of that too. My designer Billie was super sweet and let me browse but also let me know that anything can be custom ordered and that this is just a small sampling of what they can get for me. I wasn't sure if I could afford it so I had her price out a chair for me it was $1100 but they had a 20% off sale so it would be $880. I'm new to furniture shopshopping so I went to another store later (La-Z-Boy) and it was comparable to that. I walked in at 20 minutes to closing on a Sunday night, but Billie didn't seem rushed at all. I was the one saying "let's just wrap this up. Can you give me something to look at online?" And she gave me two websites she thought I would like based on our conversations and looking at what they have to offer. I will see where our furniture shopping journey takes me but I plan to be back!

I will say, staff didn't seem warm and friendly (ie a smile, or offer to help), but at the same no one was directly rude. I gather if you ask for help, they'd assist. I noticed by the bed frames, a sign that said they have tools to disassemble, but you had to do it yourself, which is still helpful since some places wouldn't even offer that.

Customer service-As an example this purchase is going to be picked up by our movers and transported to our new house out of state. Eric complete understands this process and was ready to help and ensure everything worked out smoothly. Another example since we are trying to match colors. Eric said bring in a drawer or shelf from your old furniture so we can 100% match things. 2. Selection-If you like mission style furniture this is the place. Huge selection and huge number of stains. 3. Quality-It is unsurpassed. No ifs ands or buts. 4. Sustainable-They have their own tree farm and provide wood to the craftsmen. 5. Price-We looked at buying similar furniture where we were moving. The cost was 2.5 times more. Even with moving it was a no brainer. Whether you are in state or out of state this is the place to go. I cannot recommend them enough.
