Pricy, but so fun to walk through and admire the beautiful pieces. They arrange the furniture perfectly. Plus the store is much larger than it appears. There were multiple rooms, all nicely decorated. Most focused on furniture, women's apparel, and gifts. Some rooms with products from other boutiques, one with bird baths and seed, and another with sale items. The employees seem to all be good friends and enjoy their job, which is refreshing to see. They host events, for instance, Christmas tree decorating. I think we arrived just after an event since they had drinks and snacks out. Overall, we enjoyed walking through this shop and recommend it to others! read more

Once you get inside, it's a cute little shop with a variety of trinkets and homegoods. While they do have a couple of chairs and couch pieces, this place is more so for little knick knacks to place around the house. They also have some jewelry, cute socks and things of that sort. I appreciate the fact that they are requiring people to wear masks. And I can see myself returning to pick up a few decorative items. read more

I have lived in Raleigh for over 20 years at this point and never noticed Inspirations when it first popped up. With that said, when our favorite birdseed provider closed up her retail shop in North Raleigh she moved inside Inspirations, we had no choice but to go in there and grab it. BRILLIANT! I have to warn you-you will get sidetracked in the most glorious way. I have gotten so many fun, unique gifts there along with many things for myself. (One for you... two for me... two for you...three for me.) My youngest daughter is a teenager and this store has turned into her go-to store for gift-giving as well. Everyone loves her gifts bc they aren't "cookie'cutter" big box store kinds of gifts. There is a great variety of items (did I mention perfect for gifts?), from one-of-a-kind socks for dad, personalized tumblers, precious baby gifts, wedding or anniversary gifts, pampering aromatherapy shower bombs, North Carolina gifts for those out-of-state friends who just miss it back home, and all the way to beautiful furniture and decor to make your house a home. Seriously, no one has asked me to review this place-nor can anyone buy my reviews. I like Inspirations THAT much! It is easy to get there and very hard to leave. Bring your wallet and a big car to carry everything you've bought. It is such a fun way to spend your time (& money)! read more

Really nice and eclectic shop with a wonderful selection of unique gifts

I always love a stop at Inspirations, and I've been going to the store for several years. I hadn't been in for a while, and I was so surprised to meet designer Edward Walker there! He's very friendly, helpful, and has his designs available in the store. I recommend that everyone stop in! read more

Very cute store. I have only been here twice but the manager or owner knows what he is doing! The set up of the store is very well done. The furniture is unique and special. My future mother in law has spent a decent amount of money here. He knows her by name and greets her once she walks in the door. They also have her number to update her on new items. Now THAT'S how you make money. read more

This is the best store I have been to in the area. The store is close to the airport, so I decided to visit it to get some gifts before heading back to SFO. The place was amazing! Everything was thoughtfully displayed in the store. The arrangements of items in each room created an elegant work of art. Highly recommended! read more

From the outside, Inspirations does not look like anything special. I have driven by it many times and you probably have as well on the Furniture Row that is Glenwood Avenue. Inspirations is located next to where Fred's Beds used to be and inside, there are 11,000 square feet of space filled with all kinds of treasures from various vendors. There is a big emphasis on furniture and there are all kinds of tables, hutches, chairs, mirrors and decorative pieces in the main room. There are also little boutiques with soaps, jewelry, clothing, Lily Pulitzer coffee tumblers and much much more. If you are looking for unique furniture, definitely check this place out. I met the owner of House of Jewels and she was super friendly and had gorgeous urban farm pieces. Once they go, they go so the inventory changes constantly. I would highly recommend coming here for unique gifts because they have everything. Socks, soap bombs, jewelry, you name it. It is fun just to browse and get ideas as well. Follow them on instagram too because they keep the inventory up to date and that is how I found out about this neat shop. It reminds me a bit of the Cotton Exchange in Wake Forest with various vendors but more furniture here at Inspirations. read more

What a wonderful store this is! My mother in law is visiting and so I took her to this place knowing she loves checking out little trinkets and such. This store is much bigger than it looks, offering so many vendors as well as unique pieces of furniture. The price is very reasonable and we both had so much fun checking out all of the things! This is definitely a great place to go to take visitors to, or just to find some unique local pieces to send as gifts for your friends and family. Love it! read more

I absolutely LOVE this place!! They have all sorts of great gift items, locally made items, and fantastic furniture. I have bought some really unique gifts there and a dining room table. All of the staff are really friendly and shopping there is an experience in itself. About once a month they host a girls night out with appetizers and wine for free. It's fantastic to sip and shop. One of the guys that works there even makes homemade candles and sells them in cut bottles. Love them! Check out The Wine Cellar next door too! read more

Absolutely love this place. Everyone here is super friendly and always willing to assist. I always find something that I absolutely have to have here. And am always excited to see what new items they have in store. read more

An absolute treasure chest of goodness! I just moved to Raleigh from Columbus, OH and I was looking to find some unique vintage pieces for my apartment. THIS IS THE SPOT!!!! I could have bought the whole store if my wallet allowed, but for now I'll settle for beautiful decor and jewelry. The mix of vintage as well as thoughtfully selected new furniture pieces displayed in lovely vignettes will have you racing around the enormous store wanting to find a home for your treasures as well. read more

Tacky, overpriced decor. Staff is unfriendly. A mixture of clothes, bird seed, furniture and tacky wall decorations.

Once you visit inspirations, you will avoid the malls forever. This amazing store is a "one stop shop" for all things beautiful and unique. The 12,000 square foot showroom is filled with furniture, home decor, fashion and an eclectic mix of styles and offerings . In addition to store owned items, there are over 30 vendors that have "mini shops", beautifully displayed within this larger store, "Inspirations." You can enjoy a complimentary beverage while shopping and even sign up for different classes and upcoming events. Its located across from. CARMAX on Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh. read more

I was very excited to go to this store. However, I was so disappointed with the customer service. Not sure if it was me or just an off day. I won't return to this store. read more

I walked in and was greeted in such a friendly manner. No pushy sales, just offered a drink or snack and told to "have fun." This store is beautiful! So many vendors and such a great place to get artistic ideas for decor. The furniture is well priced, but I found myself looking at little pieces from vendors. I can't wait to go back to see what else I can find. read more

We just bought a home in Cary. I found lots of great art etc here! Looking forward to revisiting soon.

Love this shop! They have a nice selection of furniture and home furnishings as well as clothing, jewelry, candles and accessories... They even have a Celtic shop! The staff is very welcoming and helpful. I go in at least once a week to see what's new. read more

Full disclosure, I'm a vendor here, but I started out as a shopper. I was so charmed by the vibe, selection of wonderful goods and the manager, Dale, that I signed up to be a seller. It's in a strip mall, you think it's just going to be another furniture store, but it's 13,000 square feet of fun. You'll enjoy browsing and exploring. Clothing, home decor, handmade items, gifts and simply charming. I hope you'll give it a try! read more

I drove an hour to go to this store. When I asked for the restroom they informed me they were closed because of Covid. They also stated that to let people use it they would have to clean it every half hour. I'm sorry you would be inconvenienced in any way so that I could shop and buy in your store. I know these are difficult times And we all have to do a little extra. If you can't open your restroom to the public you should close your store. I have shopped many stores and this is the first time I have heard this. Some even tell me they have just sanitized their restroom. Wow they don't mind doing a little extra. read more

Amazing place - very spacious too! There are "sections" within this room, that are decorated with antiques, pictures, furniture, and rugs, all laid out in ways to give great ideas for your own home decoration. Prices are reasonable...and it's possible to find great bargains that are less than $100. read more

Great place to find unique and original style furniture, decor, boutique clothing and jewelry for reasonable prices. If you do not want the same decor everyone else has then this place is for you! Amazing staff! read more

Wow wee! Love this store! So many unique items. Such great prices. Definitely will return.

I absolutely love shopping here!! I can always find something for my friends, family and definitely for me too!! There is so many one-of-a-kind items, furniture and clothes. I'm a big fan of their shop and sip (wine and shopping) yes please! There is a ladies night out, amazing fun and best of all it's a fundraiser for breast cancer. Definitely worth your time to stop by and look around and shop sip some wine and be taken care of by the amazing people who work there. read more

I try to make it here at least once a month, as the stock of lovely furniture, home decor, clothing and accessories changes regularly. The owners are super-friendly but not in your face, and offer you a lemonade to sip as you browse. We've found some nice art and jewelry here so far, and always enjoy wandering around the surprisingly large space. read more

Inspirations is the perfect one stop shop. From gifts to decor to furniture this place has everything you could need...and if they don't have what you need, they will be happy to assist you in finding it. Open 7 days a week with hours to fit any schedule. Check them out. read more

So glad we stumbled upon this goldmine, so aptly named. Every time I go, I am inspired by the wide range of design styles, from modern to retro, farmhouse to vintage, plus huge surprises from vendors who sell unique jewelry, clothing, note cards -- truly, I know of no other place like it. The management team is friendly, welcoming, and gracious, and truly in no rush to get you in and out. Take your time, sip some tea (or wine) circle around and take another lap. Now I'm following them on IG, so I know I'll be heading there again soon. Highly recommended! read more

I love this place! Furniture from modern to vintage, clothes, decor, rugs, jewelry so many options you are sure to find something that suits you! The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. read more

This is the place to come to be inspired to decorate your space no matter what your living situation is. There are so many unique items here, vintage, antique, handmade, and new. I have been on the search for a unique chair for my desk at home as well as a dining set. This store is separated by so many different vendors. They have everything from clothing, candles, jewelry, and handbags. I was offered a mimosa was when I walked in so I slowly sipped as I walked through the store. I was so overwhelmed that I forgot what my main focus for visiting the store was. I did not see what I needed on this visit, but items are quickly sold. My favorite vendor from this store is One of A Kind Design. I will definitely be back soon because I know I will find that perfect piece. read more

Bought a dining room table a few months ago. Looked up and down Glenwood Ave and was seeing the same thing in every store. So glad I stopped in here. Different booths and all unique. Keep going back to get "inspired" for other room. read more

L.O.V.E. this place! You can't go wrong...acres and acres of fabulous home decor that changes on the hour it seems like. Every time I go in there, it's a whole new store. If I see something I MUST HAVE, I snap it up because chances are, it won't be there when I go back. And I've never gone wrong. Everything I buy there looks GREAT. And the staff is simple amazing. They are helpful and really know the store. And, mostly, they are fun! read more

Love Love Love this place! The people are incredibly nice and helpful and the store is packed full of really unique furniture, art, accessories, fashion and more! As an interior designer i find this store to be a "one stop shop". They have new furniture like sofas and rugs that i can custom order but they also have over 30 different vendors with varying styles and price points. Antiques, new, up-cycled, farmhouse, shabby chic, traditional they have it all! read more

This store is a real "inspiration"! From the moment you enter the front door! You are greeted by a friendly staff, and it is a feast for your eyes. Beautiful and unique home decor items, furniture, gifts, wreaths, florals and women's clothing and accessories! New and repurposed vintage furniture that is very affordable!! Even chalk and clay paint and supplies for the DIY shopper. Great place to shop for sprucing up your home and wardrobe, or to find that special gift. I think you should check it out! read more
