Anyone who’s ever gone sofa shopping knows furniture prices can quickly rise. That’s why Rob Royer launched Interior Define. The company's Lincoln Park "guideshop" complements its online-first mentality, offering customers a chance to interact with the physical product in person, speak with designers and explore extensive customization options. The brand offers accent chairs, couches and sectionals without going through a middleman, which keeps prices impressively low, with sofas starting at $1,200 (including white glove delivery).

5.Nadeau Imports

  • Design and interiors
  • Uptown
  • price 3 of 4

Founded in 1991 by Californian husband-and-wife duoTom and Angel Nadeau, this home decor mecca features imported handmade wood furniture from India and Indonesia at wholesale prices (read: higher than IKEA, but much less than Restoration Hardware). Nadeau began as an insiders-only source for interior designers but has now been selling to everyday shoppersand bargain hunters for years. It's not shocking to see why Nadeau is spreading nationwide—with its rapidly rotating selection of unique pieces at prices that put big-box retailers to shame. Be prepared to spend some time weeding through the warehouse-like store. Inventory goes quickly, so snap decisions are encouraged.

6.Jayson Home

Get ready for a dose of decorating delight. Inside this vintage building are unique furniture and accessories worthy of inspiring an entire room: driftwood sculptures ($135–$1,500), silver-plated pitchers and trays with horn handles ($100–$750), zebra rugs ($800) and even co*cktail tables mounted on tree trunks ($750–$1,200). The garden section carries fresh plants and flowers year-round, plus beautiful pots and planters.

The prices. Come ready to find some bargains.
