Whether you’re new to Kelowna or just ready to refresh your space, decorating your home should be exciting, not overwhelming. Luckily, our lakeside city is brimming with local talent, creative boutiques, and hidden gem furniture shops that make styling your home feel like a breeze.
From earthy Okanagan aesthetics to bold statement pieces, Kelowna’s local shops offer everything you need to turn a house into a home—no big-box shopping required.
Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best spots to source home décor, unique furniture, and interior inspiration straight from the heart of the community.
Lakehouse Home Store
Located downtown on Bernard Avenue, Lakehouse Home Store is a staple for those who want that upscale, cozy-meets-modern vibe. With two full floors of beautifully curated goods, you’ll find everything from designer kitchenware and luxurious throws to statement lighting and local artisan pieces.
The team here doesn’t just stock their shelves—they style them. The store is designed to feel like a home in itself, giving you tons of inspiration just by walking through. It’s the perfect place to pick up a one-of-a-kind accent piece or upgrade your everyday essentials.
Tip: Check out their furniture showroom and seasonal displays for the ultimate design inspiration. Lakehouse is perfect for those who love a clean, contemporary look with personality.
Olive & Elle
Tucked away just off Pandosy Street, Olive & Elle is an interior design lover’s dream.
This boutique specializes in Scandinavian and West Coast aesthetics—think soft neutrals, natural textures, and elevated simplicity. From handmade ceramics to curated textile collections and clean-lined furniture, everything in the store is chosen with intention.
Many of the pieces are from small-batch makers or Canadian artisans, which means you can decorate your space knowing it reflects your values and your taste.
Bonus: They offer interior design consultations if you need a little expert guidance to bring your vision to life.
The Kelowna Art Gallery Shop
Looking to add a truly local flair to your walls? The Kelowna Art Gallery’s Shop is a hidden gem for home décor—especially when it comes to supporting Okanagan artists. You’ll find original prints, small paintings, and handcrafted décor items created by local and regional creators. It’s a great way to build an art collection that tells a story about where you live.
Whether it’s a moody lakeside landscape or an abstract piece inspired by wine country, you’re bound to find something personal and meaningful.
Pro Tip: Swing by during one of the gallery’s rotating exhibitions to discover new artists whose work you might just fall in love with.
Funktional
If your style leans a little more eclectic, Funktional on Bernard Avenue should be your go-to. This boutique is all about mixing the old with the new—vintage-style rugs, locally made wall hangings, minimalist furniture, quirky art, and tons of gift-worthy treasures.
Funktional is fiercely supportive of Canadian artists and small businesses, and it shows in the diversity and personality of its inventory. It’s the kind of place where you walk in looking for a coffee table book and walk out with a perfectly mismatched pillow set, a set of brass candlesticks, and a painting you didn’t know you needed.
Vibe check: Ideal for bold decorators who love layering texture, colour, and a little humour into their home design.
Isabey Interiors
For those dreaming of a full home makeover (or even just a little layout help), Isabey Interiors offers both retail experience and professional design services.
Their expertise features carefully selected furniture, art, and décor with a minimalist, contemporary feel. Think high-end finishes, soft palettes, and custom pieces that feel timeless. Whether you’re starting from scratch or upgrading a single room, Isabey Interiors offers a level of polish that’s hard to match.
Design-forward: They work on residential projects across the Okanagan, so if you fall in love with their work, you can take it one step further and have them help you design your dream space.
Boheme Collective
If you love boho, vintage, or mid-century modern styles, Boheme Collective is your spot. Located in the Landmark District, Boheme is part curated vintage store, part plant haven, and 100% cool.
They specialize in repurposed and upcycled pieces that feel both nostalgic and trendy. Think vintage mirrors, textured poufs, rattan chairs, and leafy green plant babies to bring your space to life. Their inventory rotates often, so if you see something you love, grab it while you can.
Eco-friendly edge: Boheme emphasizes sustainability, making it easy to decorate consciously without sacrificing style.
Mission Thrift Store (and Other Second-Hand Gems)
Sometimes, the best home pieces are the ones with character. Kelowna’s thrift scene is surprisingly rich for vintage lovers and budget decorators alike.
Spots like Mission Thrift Store, Habitat for Humanity ReStore, and Wentworth Music’s pre-loved section (yes, music-themed décor counts!) are great places to hunt for hidden treasures. You might walk out with an antique mirror, a funky lamp, or a handmade vase from someone’s estate sale.
Plus, there’s nothing more satisfying than finding a one-of-a-kind piece that no one else has.
