The Most Scrumptious Home Decor in Virginia Beach

The Cottage Shop

★★★★☆ 4.4 (7) • $$

"Bottom Line: A beautiful display of quality and tasteful housewares and gifts.The Cottage Shop in the Outer Banks Mall is definitely one of my favorite stores in the area! The Cottage Shop is a fairly large store consisting of tasteful home decor and gifts. Many items are beach themed but there is plenty of cool and cute stuff for (in)land lovers too. Here are the types of things you can expect to find at The Cottage Shop:- linens like tea towels, hook rugs and bedspreads- home decor like candles, artwork and Fiestaware- scarves, flip flops and jewelry- drinkware like Tervis, Yeti and decorative wine glasses- Christmas ornaments - stuffed animals and toys for little ones- greeting cardsYou can also expect a friendly staff!This is a great place to get a gift for someone else or yourself!"

Pine & Porch

★★★★★ 4.8 (5)

"We always enjoy visiting 'Pine & Porch' & their wonderful staff! It has everything to enjoy a laid back day with wine or just about any craft beer you can imagine (in cans) ... a few on tap. They also house local artists pottery and art! If you're looking for music.... they have it outside in the open shed with seating! One of my favorites!"

HomeGoods

★★★★★ 4.5 (8) • $$

"This Homegoods is NOT at all like my Homegoods... meaning it's not as crowded with merchandise (but still well-stocked), it's not as crowded with people, and things don't (necessarily) go in the blink of an eye. I was in town on an early Friday night, and the store was EMPTY. Friday late afternoon and early evening in my store is swamped because people want to see what's new. By the end of the day Saturday, whatever you wanted Friday and didn't get is gone!I saw a cabinet on Friday that I made myself a deal with -- if I came back after work Saturday afternoon and it was still there, I'd get it. Well, it was. So I did. Yay!There was second piece that I was eyeballing... it was waiting for a customer to pick up when I got back Saturday!"

Urban Village

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Urban Village is a s good as it gets! Great products, unique and well displayed, super friendly atmosphere, makes you want to do business with Urban Village. Highly recommended when you just do not know what to get for someone extra special. No kidding, a great store!"

The Globe

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (5)

"I had a wonderful experience in The Globe Gift Shop. Their collection of gifts is unparalleled. I was able to cross several people off my gift list after my visit to The Globe. The sales staff were very courteous yet not overly solicitous. I found the quality of their items to be stellar. I will most definitely shop there again! --Amy"

W S Stetson's Seashells

★★★★★ 4.7 (3)

"Bottom Line: Small shop with seashells and Wanchese apparel. This shop looks so fun and beachy from the outside and I have been curious about it for years. I recently finally stepped in to do a little exploring this August. The retail store has shells, more shells, driftwood, nautical home decor, some jewelry, small gifts and Wanchese apparel. By Wanchese apparel I mean t-shirts and such paying homage to the charming fishing village. I was expecting local shells but it seems a lot of them were from overseas. Everything was so nicely labeled with the type of shell and the origin - I really appreciate those details.The retail store is just a small portion of their building as I believe the core of their business is being a wholesaler. The business participates in various trade shows throughout the year and retailers can sign up for wholesale accounts. Overall this was a neat stop in the quaint village of Wanchese."

Little England Mercantile

★★★★☆ 3.7 (7)

"In love! I have passed this place a few times heading into Gloucester. They are about 3-5 min on the left side when you come across the bridge. The store has so much charm! They have decor, jewelry, limited clothing, limited children's items, pillows, some furniture and many great gift items. Farmhouse vibes for sure! Heather was helpful while I shopped. She greeted me when I walked in and informed me of any sales they had. She then just let me shop to my hearts content. Allowing me to place items up on the cash rep area so I could use both hands to shop. She was awesome!"

Home Emporium

★★★★☆ 3.8 (44) • $$

"Love this store! It has lots of great and unique finds. It carries floor mirrors, indoor and patio furniture, calfskin and sheepskin rugs, and even gigantic rugs, flooring (laminate and tiles), cabinets, vanities, garden planters, bar stools, the list goes on and on. It's like a cross of Home Depot and lumber liquidators and world market."

Lady Antiquity

★★☆☆☆ 1.6 (7) • $$

"You don't need to be the "antique-y" type to enjoy browsing this store and its eclectic selection of unique items from furniture to jewelry.As I perused the roughly 1,000 square-foot store, I sub-consciously likened the experience to that of walking through Haynes or other similar home furnishings store where they accessorize a particular area of the store to make it feel like you're actually in a specific area of a furnished house. In the case of this business, some sections will flash you back to a 19th century bedroom. The owner clearly thought through the whole product presentation element. Despite having a ton of stuff, you never felt cramped nor did you have to walk gingerly through the store to avoid accidentally bumping in to things. That said, if you have small children, keep an eye on them.Two ladies run the store and both are as friendly as they come. They do estate sales as well.Come check out the store. Easy to find. Right next to the Great Bridge on North Battlefield. New treasures await!"

Jollity & Co

★★★★☆ 3.6 (16) • $$

"I absolutely adore this little party store. They have every cute, trendy item for whatever you're hosting! From llamas to mile stone adult parties- their products won't make your party feel straight out of a 90's Party City catalog. It's Instagram and 2021 ready. This stuff is quality! It's goes way beyond the classic party vibe and elevates your celebrations to an event and experience for everyone involved.They also can make custom decorations like balloon arches and custom wall cut outs. If you've got a theme they can work with you to recommend the best product combinations to bring your party to life! Most recently I came here for my boyfriend's 39th birthday and was able to find the perfect combination of items to make the celebration feel like an experience and was perfect for the man who "hates birthday parties" who is dating someone who plans events as part of her job."

Seagreen Gallery

★★★★★ 4.7 (71) • $$

"Bottom Line: One of my favorite stores in the Outer Banks and the closest thing to a treasure chest on the barrier islands.This updated review is loooong overdue. I love Seagreen Gallery and I'm the proud owner of many finds from this store that sells salvaged items, antiques, repurposed items and hand crafted items. My all time favorite find is my string of lights made from tumbled wine and beer bottle necks - I have several strings and they make me so happy! I've also collected a Coca-cola crate, flowers made from old maps, picture frames, various art pieces, stickers, coral, old telephone insulators, cork fishing floats,driftwood with decoupaged vintage photos and a whole bunch of other stuff. The decor of my home in Maryland is somewhere between traditional and transitional so I didn't initially think the eclectic Seagreen Gallery would be for me but it absolutely is! On every visit to Nags Head this is one of my must-go places. In addition to neat items the staff is always friendly and I appreciate that they are taking COVID seriously by requiring a mask to be worn and providing hand sanitizer."

Williamsburg Bazaar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (3)

"Nice quality items-just on the expensive side. Found a beautiful desk someone had refurbished. Staff is exceptional!"

Christmas Mouse - Williamsburg

★★★★☆ 4.1 (36) • $$

"This was another Mom connected visit for me. Mom loved Christmas and everything about it. One of her favorite things to do was to decorate the Christmas tree. What better place to visit and spend some money than a place that is noted for having ornaments.I have been to one of these while on vacation in the Outer Banks, so this was not a mystery for me. I still do not understand how someone can work in here year round and still remain sane. It just baffles me that you don't go crazy listening to and dealing with Christmas year round. You are a strong person to be able to work in here.I browsed while I was in here before decided on what to get. I have to say that it will take you forever to go through here. There is an upstairs that overlooks the downstairs which is equally filled with ornaments.As a side note, they do carry a small amount of items that deal with other holidays/seasons but it is obviously overshadowed by Christmas here.Once you do make a selection make your way down to the register area and be helped by the wonderful staff here. The lady that helped me here was amazingly kind. She took time to chat with me and wrap every ornament I both separately, as if I was to hand out small gifts to the people I had bought them for. Such a nice experience."

Christmas Mouse - Norge

★★★★★ 4.6 (5) • $$$

"Adorable and Great Staff - Nov 13, 2009Prices, selection and helpful staff were remarkable. We were really impressed with our purchases and their prices."

Refreshed Coastal Inspired Living

★★★★☆ 4 (4)

"Coastal cuteness overload! This is such a great find in the heart of Great Bridge, especially if you need a gift for a lover of all things beachy! My mom & I had a girls day Christmas shopping and stopped in here after perusing some other nearby shops. This is located toward the back of a shopping center right near the Locks Bridge. On a busy day, parking here is at a premium as there are many other restaurants and stores in the center. Many spots are monopolized now for curbside pickup at neighboring shops.As soon as you walk into Refreshed, you're overwhelmed by the beautiful blues and whites of coastal decor. It's eye candy, for sure! The staff greeted us right away, asked if we were looking for anything special, and were readily available if we had questions.They offer hand sanitizer at the front door and let you know that they require masks. The 3 staff members we saw all wore masks during our entire visit.They carry Simply Southern clothing and accessory items and have some unique beachy gifts for everyone. I even found some stocking stuffers for my decidedly non-beachy husband (flavored popcorn for the win!). I loved venturing in - I wish I had sooner - and got some great ideas for other family members future gifts. This place is a gem!"

The Mole Hole

★★★★☆ 4.4 (19) • $$$

"Absolutely lovely! We stopped in while away on vacation and stepped into a refined lady's la la land :) The shop is lovely and filled with oodles of delightful finds. The staff there are extremely helpful and welcoming and are always available to help you find what you need or to talk about pieces for sale in the shop. There is a great selection of estate jewelry, a section filled with Brighton and another filled with Pandora. Also on hand are other sections of jewelry as well as a large assortment of purses. The clothing is of high quality, comfortable and fitting for lady's who lunch :) There was a lovely baby section that had a great selection of items to gift to new moms. There is a cafe within the shop that had a solid selection of items to eat as well. I'd highly recommend stopping in if you have a chance!"

The French Door OBX

★★★★☆ 4.1 (19) • $$

"Bottom Line: A women's clothing boutique with fun accessories and some gifty items.The French Door is abeachy cross between Anthropologie and Francesca's. They have quality brands and fun colors. But sometimes I don't feel like trying on clothes so I like that I can skip that side of the store and oooohhh and ahh at the soaps, jewelry, scarves, purses, cards and such. I always walk out with something."

Hertfordshire Antiques & More

★★★★☆ 3.5 (2) • $

"My husband and stopped in on our way to N. Carolina to take care of some business. It was a decent size shop in an old building in the quaint little town of Hertford. They had nick backs, old magazines, furniture etc. I found a pretty pitcher to water my plants in. Is this A place but I might go to even though it's out of my way? Probably not but interesting stop, And you can get some coffee next-door."

Gulfstream Gifts

★★★★★ 5 (10) • $$

"It wasn't hard to find treasure here- this store is packed with lovely items. I got a small pair of sand dollar earrings for my daughter, mermaids for little pool divers, and a beautiful oyster shell pedestal plate. I could have bought a lot more- the mermaid options were plentiful and the jewelry was very reasonably priced and unique. Will definitely return."

Gypsy Soul Boutique

★★★★★ 4.6 (7)

"I've walked past this small boutique like 1000 times and haven't been inside. This past weekend while the weather was warm and we were walking around with iced coffee - the doors were thrown open to welcome the warm air and I stopped in for a quick look. It's really cute! It's small inside but well laid out and is brimming with cute clothing, jewelry and accessories. There was a good number of people inside shopping and I saw a few shirts, jackets, and leggings I liked as well as some very pretty jewelry. This could be a new spot when I want a unique item to add to my wardrobe!"

Kitsch

★★★★★ 4.5 (19) • $$

"This store is adorable. I LOVE that they only feature items from local Virginia artists and that they have classes where you can come and meet new people and learn to make some crafts. I think it's a fabulous idea and there were all sorts of cute little things inside. They have terrariums - which I am currently obsessed with since I kill every other type of plant I buy - they had candles, little dolls, clay making, etc. Tons of stuff. Check it out if you are a crafty type person, I think you'll love it!"

Dazzles

★★★★☆ 3.7 (12) • $$

"This shop is in the Duck Waterfront. There's plenty of parking. The nearby shops are also fun to visit. There's also a coffee shop and a casual eatery.This shop has some of the BEST stuff for gifts, and just fun stuff to buy for yourself. Staff is super friendly! Follow them on socials because they have some great FB live shows with heavily discounted items."

Lammers Glass Gifts & Antiques

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (22) • $$

"Mermazing gift shop with breathtaking stained glass and other handcrafted pieces of artwork! As you walk in, a fragrant aroma envelopes you and relaxes your soul. Don't forget to look up, as the ceilings are filled with strikingly gorgeous pieces ! I walked in and just stopped and took it all in! I love mermaids and I spotted them everywhere! There are rooms and rooms of cards, jewelry, lamps, garden decorations, candles, soaps and more! Mazes of treasures await you and your eyes will be in for a creative treat! In the back of the store there is a pantry with kitchen gadgets, mixes, honey, linens and crafts. Further into this cove of gems you will find antiques and signage, then trek upstairs to the 1/2 price floor! Truly you can spend hours here. Get inspired and enjoy this one of a kind shop!! Beware of the elderly lady who follows you around lurking over your shoulder and listing rules whileyou shop. "No photos"... "the artist want to protect their creations" "don't touch" - I said l, it would seem like they'd want to advertise their wares so folks would come in and buy! Furthermore, who's going to come in and copy these artists? How many stained glass professionals are there around here? Well, as you can see, I'm a rule breaker! #troublemaker #takingpicsallday #ignoringyou #youbetyourglassidid #lostastar"

Sugar & Grace

★★★★☆ 4.1 (18)

"CANDLES CANDLES CANDLES!!! Sugar and grace co had a DIY candle bar! Located in Selden Market in Norfolk. I went in last week with my daughter and we made our own soy candles. You get to choose the fragrance of the candles the type of jar you want and the are made with wood wicks. The store is very pretty. The are are a variety of different candles, body creams and scrubs for purchase. The customer service is great! I will definitely be returning. This is a Black woman owned business!"

Black Tie Beach

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"Definitely Bougie . Upscale and wonderful. My favorite is the men's section. Men are always hard to buy for. They have a great selection and nicely displayed. I wanted to take the whole store home . Christmas gifts are going to be easy to buy for this year. This store is awesome Owners are so nice and they offer information. They are helpful . There is a lot to look at . It was great when I said something about soap they were showing me all kinds of wonderful options . Oh and they have bridal registry. Perfect for bride and groom to register."

Outer Banks Furniture

★★★★☆ 4.4 (7)

"As soon as I walked in I knew I'd find my furniture here. Beautifully decorated settings, from bedroom to living room. Great selection and good prices. Our salesperson was Michelle, she was excellent very attentive to help you as much as you'd like or left you to do the decor if you wanted. If there was an issue, she was right there to help and satisfy your issue. Will definitely go back and recommend people. Kudos to great selection, prices and service!"

Classic Reflections

★★★★★ 5 (3) • $$

"I finally visited this cute store and was pleasantly surprised at the unique and interesting items they have there. I will definetly be back & I highly suggest this place to anyone."

VA Vintage

★★★★★ 4.7 (3)

"Wow, there's a ton of stuff to see here! There is a lot of diversity through the store, from books, to toys, and some homemade items. Everyone we met was super friendly, and it's a really inviting store! We found a few things we didn't know we needed, and the prices were good too. We've visited a couple times, and there's always something different to see."

Vintage Vibe Home & Garden

★★★★☆ 4.4 (7)

"Love the variety of antiques and homemade items inside. You might have to make a couple of laps inside....because trust me. You're gonna miss something in one lap. Lol They have their own parking area. Bathroom for customers only. Staff is very friendly which is always a plus! Also! They are expanding! They're making the barn next door into more space for shopping! It's definitely a hidden gem of an antique store in Chesapeake!"

Budget Blinds of Elizabeth City/The Outer Banks

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (3)

"I found this "company" on a Google search for motorized blinds and drapes. We have a brand-new built home at the beach needed all windows treated with motorized blinds and drapes, we are thinking a $25-30,000 job. We made an appointment with Kirk's wife for Thursday at 3 PM explaining to her that we had to leave the island to go for a doctor's appointment but that we should be back by 3 PM and she said, "No worries. If you find you're going to be late just email us and let us know." At 2:25 PM we emailed to let them know we would be 10 minutes late as our doctor's appointment ran longer than expected. At 2:55 PMKirk called us and said, "we have a 3 o'clock appointment, where are you?" We explained that as we told his wife, we were on our way back from a doctor's appointment which ran considerably longer than expected and as his wife had advised us, we had emailed letting him know that we would be 10 minutes late. He huffed and puffed and hung up, apparently not having read his email. We arrived home at 3:11 PM and no budget blinds. A card was stuck in our door. At 3:44 PM Kirk returns to our home and rings the bell. I answered the door. He does not say a word, doesn't say hello, doesn't identify himself, nothing. Feeling quite uncomfortable with him, I asked if he was Kirk, and he said yes. Witnessing a bad attitude, I asked him if he was having a bad day. His response: "Well, I've been riding around all afternoon losing money with you." I responded, "Well, I can make that better for you or worse for you." He stopped in his tracks, turned around, headed for the exit, and said sarcastically, "Have a nice day." Really? All because we were going to be 10 minutes late and ended up being 11 minutes late? When we had originally told them that we might be late and that was OK during our phone call with his wife. But apparently not with Kirk. My question is how the hell does he stay in business?? Rude. Bad business."

Christmas Mouse - Duck

★★★★☆ 4 (12) • $$

"Bottom Line:  A huge variety of Christmas ornaments arranged by theme but very few local or unique ornaments.Wow - the Christmas Mouse, located in the Scarborough Lane Shoppes, is a huge store full of Christmas ornaments and other holiday décor. There is something about a forest of heavily decorated fake trees that I find truly mesmerizing. They even had an entire tree dedicated to the unicorn theme and I really regret not getting a photo of it. The huge selection of ornaments is mostly organized by theme, with some exceptions like the Olde World Christmas ornaments which I recall being all together. A lot of the ornaments are from familiar brands and I wish they had more that was locally made in the Outer Banks. Overall, it was fun wondering around this large store but I didn't add anything to my collection on this visit. However, I will plan to visit the newly built Christmas Mouse location in Nags Head this summer. Nearly two years after their store sadly burned down they have reopened in a lovely looking building."

Kiln Kingdom

★★★★★ 5 (6)

"This place is an uber-charming and unique new addition to the Colonial Williamsburg shopping and dining area. Housed in the corner shop at Prince George and N. Boundary Streets, this spot has been many things over the years (for a long time it was a camera shop, if I remember correctly, back when those still existed, lol).It has been transformed into one part retail space selling lovely, colorful Turkish pottery and dinnerware and one part coffee and sweet shop serving strong and delicious Turkish coffee "on the sand" (heated over hot sand), Turkish delights and other house-made sweet treats.It's a great spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of DOG Street and enjoy a hot coffee and tasty dessert."

Modern Beach House

★★★★☆ 3.7 (6)

"This was a cute shop in a wonderful area with all other local crafty shops! It's a tad but overpriced but the items they have are so unique and beautiful! I felt like I needed everything in the store!! I also came back to this area like 3 times in a span of 7 days because it was just so cute!"

A. Dodson's

★★★★☆ 4.4 (30) • $$

"Cute cute cute! I've been driving past this spot for years and always wanted to stop in but it's really hard to find - I mean - I have a general idea where it is and that it's here but I always drive past it and then have to turn around to come back and just never really felt like committing. I always said, "Well, next time..." So finally I stopped in last weekend while in Smithfield for a Vintage market. There are tons and tons of items in here you can find gifts and home decor and jewelry and clothing and perfumes. Housewares and cups and whatever. It's full of things. Literally thousands of them. If you have a co-worker or someone you are looking for a small gift for - you'd be able to find something for probably just about anyone in here."

Tin Soldiers

★★★★★ 4.7 (7)

"This is the place when you are coming down Shore Drive with the tall Toy Soldiers and a bunch of neat stuff sitting out front. I finally pulled in to get a closer look and what a cute little house of treasure! I was very impressed by some of their antique or antique-finished furniture and at very reasonable prices. The house is filled with unique gifts from the past and present. There is nothing junky about this store. They get new stuff in every day of the week and the owners are ready to help you find your next special piece for your home."
