There are a few pieces of furniture that you can find in almost every home. It’s hardly surprising, as people often search for new furniture on the same websites. For those who want to furnish their home a bit more uniquely, myHOMEBOOK presents ten online furniture shops that aren’t frequented by everyone—and whose offerings are still fresh and exciting.
When searching for shelves, cabinets, and beds, many people inevitably end up with the same providers. The result: homes often look similarly furnished. Some pieces of furniture can even be immediately identified by their origin. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it can lead to frustration for some. Therefore, it might be worthwhile to browse for furniture at one of the following ten online shops.
10 Online Shops for Furniture
1. Westwingnow
This shop is by no means unknown. However, the partially exclusive selection, collaborations with designers, or higher-priced furniture pieces guarantee a more individual setup. Minimalism, Boho, or Industrial–furniture and decorative items can be found for nearly every interior style.
Materials and Sustainability:

- Leather and down come from strictly controlled and humane farms

2. Made.com
Independent designers are at work here, creating unique products–from furniture and decor items to textiles and a bit of garden supplies.

Note: The page with information on “Quality and Environment” is not accessible; myHOMEBOOK has inquired with the company–a response is still pending (as of 11/25/20, 10:38 a.m.).
