The 10 Best Home Decor Shops in the Akron + Canton Area
If you’ve ever visited the Akron and Canton area, you’ll know that we’re a hub for vintage shops, antique malls and flourishing interior designers. So it’s only natural that our area is home to an incredible lineup of charming home decor shops!
The next time you’re shopping for furniture, wall hangings, lighting and accessories, make sure these businesses in the Akron and Canton area are on your shopping list. From one-of-a-kind barn wood tables to the perfect light fixture for your entryway—you’ll have everything you need (and more!) for your home before you know it.
Arrowhead Vintage & Handmade Goods
Husband and wife team Melissa and Dave Sherrill opened Arrowhead Vintage & Handmade Goods in 2014 in a tiny studio space located in the Canton Arts District. Today, you can find them a few blocks away in a much larger venue, packed full of retro, vintage, mid-century furnishings and plenty more fun, weird things.
Birchwood Supply Co.
Birchwood Supply is more than just a home decor shop—it’s an experience. Step through the quaint, unassuming front door and take in an amalgamation of vintage scoreboards, well-worn couches, mirrors made from local tire forms, and much more. The shop is owned by Jason Horinger, a local designer who handmakes a lot of the goods, including some of the stunning custom tables and centerpieces, that you’ll find in the store.

This family-owned shop features everything from custom furniture to women’s fashion. They currently offer two full lines of furniture, Norwalk Furniture from Ohio and Craftmaster Furniture which is made in North Carolina. If you’re unable to make it to the store in person—don’t worry! They have their entire collection available to view online, so you can shop from the comfort of your own home.
The Bomb Shelter
Retro furniture is a must in Akron, and we are particularly fond of The Bomb Shelter, which sells vintage kitchen appliances, furniture, clothing, toys and TV sets. They opened in 2001 with 18,000+ square feet of warehouse space and a goal to give a second life to things from their childhoods. So take a moment to peruse goods from over a thousand different places all over the world—if not for the fantastic prices, but for the overwhelming nostalgia factor!
Bridgewater Primitives

If the HGTV hit, Fixer Upper is your jam, Bridgewater Primitives is a glorious find. The homely Alliance storefront is brimming with well-loved old pieces and homemade goods that any rustic-decor enthusiast will adore. We have a particular fondness for their incredible selection of homespun candles (especially the lovely blueberry scent) that would be a fantastic addition to any decor.
Gypsy Grace & The Vintage Goat

From crystals and bundles of sage to rustic candles and locally made soaps—no matter what your style is, Gypsy Grace has something for you! Self-described as a “cool junk” shop, this Akron business is chock full of interesting, one-of-a-kind items that have been up-cycled and given a brand new life. Their inventory is always changing, so make sure to check them out on Facebook to see what new items they have in store for this week!
Laura of Pembroke
Laura of Pembroke is a family-owned boutique full of stylish women’s clothing, gifts and home furnishings with locations in both Cleveland and Canton, Ohio. Each piece in their massive, classy storefront is full of European influence—from the pleated couches to the statement-making glass chandeliers. They also happen to have a full interior design team on staff that offers stylish, sophisticated design services for both residential and commercial spaces throughout Ohio.
Main Street Modern
Mid-century modern decor has been all the rage for several years now, and one of the best places to get your modern fix is, of course, Main Street Modern! Their 40,000-square-foot warehouse is the largest gallery of mid-century modern furniture in Ohio and is a go-to Canton spot for funky furniture and groovy decor.
