Notes from the Box

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. Recognizable. Easy to find. But they’re only part of the story. At Out of the Box, we spend a lot of time looking beyond...

When Natural Light Isn’t Enough Winter has a way of reminding us just how much we rely on light. Shorter days, long nights—and even with snow reflecting brightness outside, it rarely feels like enough once you’re indoors. That’s where great lighting comes in. At Out of the Box, we’ve recently brought in a large...

A Curated Look at What We Love Right Now Every now and then, we like to do something a little different. Instead of highlighting categories or trends, we turn to the people who know our inventory best—our team. The result?

And when friends and family are on their way over, you start to notice your space a little differently. Maybe it needs a refresh. Maybe just a few thoughtful updates. The good news? Sprucing up...

A Season for Opening Our Homes As we gather together in the coming days and weeks, our homes naturally take center stage. It’s where conversations happen, meals are shared, and memories are made.

And for many, it’s the most meaningful holiday of the year—no pressure of gifts, just good food, great company, and time spent together. At Out of the Box, this is one...
