Notes from the Box

Art That Tells a Story Some pieces don’t just decorate a space—they carry meaning. Kuna molas are one of those art forms. Handcrafted by the Guna people of Panama, these vibrant textiles are rich in color, symbolism, and tradition. Created using a reverse appliqué technique, each piece is carefully layered and cut to reveal...

Because We All Need a Little Help Let’s be honest—most of us spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Whether it’s preparing meals, hosting friends, or just grabbing a quick cup of coffee, it’s one of the most used spaces in the home. And because of that, it should work well—and look great...

Seeing Art in the Everyday Art isn’t something reserved for galleries. It’s everywhere—if you’re paying attention. It’s in the way sunlight filters through a tree on your morning walk. The movement of steam rising from a cup of coffee. The textures, colors, and patterns we pass by every day without even realizing it. Art...

Beyond the Big Names Most people recognize the major names in home design. Brands like Ralph Lauren, Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn, and West Elm have become household staples. They’re trusted.

Instead of highlighting categories or trends, we turn to the people who know our inventory best—our team. The result? A collection of pieces that reflect real taste, real personality, and a true mix...

Creating a Space That Encourages Imagination There’s something special about designing a space for kids. It’s not just about furniture—it’s about creating an environment where they can explore, imagine, and grow into who they are. A space that feels like theirs. At Out of the Box, we believe kids’ rooms should be just as...

A New Year, A New Perspective on Your Space Winter has a way of slowing things down. It gives us time to reflect, reset—and start imagining what’s next. And when it comes to your home, there’s no better time to begin planning a refresh, redesign, or even something entirely new. At Out of the...

The “Cherry on Top” of Great Design Art and décor are often what people notice last—but remember most. They’re the pieces that reflect your personality, your experiences, and your eye for design. They sit on tables, shelves, and consoles quietly—until someone stops, points, and asks about them. At Out of the Box, these are...
