Start
Your Own Home Store
Open
a Home Furnishings Store
or
Home Accessories Store
Imagine
having an exciting and creative career as the owner of a
home decor store, getting paid to help people make their homes more beautiful.

When you
open a home decor store, your days will be filled with fabulous
products, inspiring projects, and people who appreciate fine
merchandise.
The
popularity
of home decorating television shows has resulted in people's desire to
beautify their living spaces and express their identities through
their décor.
While
it can be fun to shop or work in home decor stores, nothing quite
compares to the rewards of having your own successful store. Among
the benefits of opening your own home décor store is being able
to choose the products you will sell.
You
might choose to fill your store with home accessories, home furnishings,
or other household items – from art to accent furniture, candles to cabinets,
linens to lamps, pillows to paintings, rugs to racks, shower curtains to
chandeliers, and more.

You might
choose to offer items for the entire home or specialize
in products for a particular area of the home, such as the bedroom, bathroom,
kitchen, or garden. Plus, you can increase your income by
offering items that almost every homeowner needs or wants, such
as hardware or holiday decorations.
If you sell products on consignment,
you will have less risk than most types of retail businesses because
you can fill your home store with inventory without paying until it's sold.
No
matter what you choose to sell, your store will be an expression of your
creative
spirit and business savvy. You can create a beautiful place
that you are proud to call your own.
If
opening a home accessories or home furnishings store sounds like the career
of your dreams, the FabJob Guide to Become
a Home Decor Store Owner is for you! In
this e-book you will discover how you can get started and succeed
in the home decor store business.

"People
come in here, look at the items, admit they can live without them but then
explain that the item just simply makes them smile, makes them happy, or
makes them feel good by thinking of how happy it will make the person they’ve
bought it for."
—Alex
Aldama, owner of Fuego 718, Brooklyn, New York
"I love being creative
and I get to be as creative as I want during the day. I can change a display
if I feel like it. I can design a kitchen, or price some merchandise. I
don’t want to do the same thing every day. I want every day to be a surprise."
—Heather Draper, co-owner
of Bespoke, Victoria B.C.
"When it all comes together
and the store looks great, you love the products that are coming in, the
weather is nice, customers are shopping, spending money and giving you
compliments ... and when you make big bank deposits — that’s when it is
rewarding and I wish that for everybody."
—Deb Dusenberry,
owner, Curious Sofa, Kansas City
