In a time when certain political forces are working to diminish the rights and visibility of the LGBTQIA+ community, it becomes increasingly important to actively support and amplify queer voices across all sectors — including the world of interior design and home decor. By choosing to purchase from LGBTQIA+-owned and operated businesses, we not only contribute to the economic success of the community but also help ensure continued visibility and representation in the marketplace.
Supporting these creative entrepreneurs goes beyond just the act of shopping — it’s about creating spaces where queer stories, aesthetics and experiences are celebrated and normalized. Each purchase becomes a small act of resistance against attempts to push the LGBTQIA+ community back into the shadows, while simultaneously helping to build and sustain businesses that often give back to their communities through advocacy, mentorship, and support of various LGBTQIA+ causes.
The following curated list highlights some of our favorite LGBTQIA+-owned home decor brands that deserve our attention and support. These businesses not only offer unique, high-quality products but also represent the diversity, creativity and resilience of the queer community.
