The 5 Best Home Furnishing Stores Around Truckee/North Lake Tahoe Region

A well-designed home isn’t just about style — it’s about how a space feels. According to a survey by the American Institute of Architects, demand for multi-functional and wellness-oriented spaces has skyrocketed in recent years, reflecting a shift in how people view their surroundings. The Best of North Lake Tahoe and Truckee highlights local home furnishing stores that offer not only beautiful pieces, but thoughtful design with mountain lifestyle in mind.

Cultural Threads

Walking into Cultural Threads in Truckee feels more like entering a global bazaar than a traditional furniture store. Co-founders Chris and Jen have carefully curated a collection of handcrafted home goods and decor with roots around the world — Moroccan rugs, Indian block prints, Turkish pillows and much more. But the story goes deeper than aesthetic. Cultural Threads operates on fair trade principles, working directly with artisans and cooperatives to ensure ethical sourcing. Each piece has a story, often woven by hand, and the store’s ever-evolving inventory invites discovery with every visit.

More than just a retail store, Hemmings & Jarrett is also an interior design firm, offering full-service guidance from concept to installation. Their long-standing relationships with craftspeople and suppliers allow them to bring custom furniture and one-of-a-kind finds into clients’ homes with both precision and style.
