Moving from one apartment to another is far from an easy task. There’s nothing that rewards that initial haul, though, like shopping for new furniture. Once you have all of your belongings stashed away in your Nashville apartment, you can head out to area boutiques and see what kind of style accents they can add to your home.
Don’t rush straight for the nearest IKEA, though. Why not explore the local furniture gems that Nashville has to offer instead? Not only can you bring a touch of Tennessee into your home, but you may just find the perfect home furniture set at a fraction of a big box store’s price.
COVID-19 Notice
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many Nashville furniture staples had to close their doors. If you’ve heard good things about shops like Two Old Hippies or Bradford’s Interiors, keep your ears to the ground. While these shops may have gone out of the market for now, there’s a chance that they may return in the future.
Finding Your Nashville Home
Shopping in Nashville is never a hardship. You may still want to know where your new apartment is located, however, in comparison to many of these hidden boutiques. With that in mind, consider which of Nashville’s many neighborhoods you’ll want to visit while furnishing your new digs.
Some of the best stops to shop at include:
- 12 South
- The Gulch
- North Nashville
- West End
- The Hermitage
- Music Row
- Marathon Village
- German Town
- Belmont
Make sure to plan your shopping trip with Nashville traffic in mind! Traveling from one end of the city in search of the best home accents is fun, but it can rapidly introduce you to the quirks of living in one of Tennessee’s most populous cities.
