Welcome to House by the Video Store Studio, where nostalgia meets modern design to create homes that are as unique as you are. Inspired by the vibrant, eclectic energy of the ‘80s and ‘90s—think video store nights, neon signs, and the hum of a VHS player—we’re here to help you craft spaces that blend retro charm with contemporary functionality. Our mission is to make interior design accessible, fun, and deeply personal, whether you’re furnishing your first apartment or reimagining a family home.
Our Origin Story: A Love Letter to Nostalgia
House by the Video Store Studio was born from a shared love of the past and a vision for the future. Our founders, a group of design enthusiasts and retro aficionados, grew up in an era of bold patterns, mixtapes, and Friday nights spent browsing video store aisles. Those moments of connection and creativity inspired us to create a brand that captures the warmth and personality of that time. We wanted to bring that magic into modern homes, where every piece of furniture and every design choice tells a story.
It all started in a small studio, where we began curating furniture and decor that felt like a hug from the past. From mid-century modern armchairs to neon-inspired lighting, we sought out pieces that sparked joy and conversation. Over time, our passion grew into a full-fledged design studio dedicated to helping people create spaces that feel both timeless and fresh. Today, House by the Video Store Studio is a community of dreamers, designers, and nostalgia lovers who believe that every home should reflect the personality of its inhabitants.
Our Design Philosophy: Retro Meets Modern
At the heart of our work is a commitment to blending retro aesthetics with modern practicality. We’re inspired by the bold colors, playful patterns, and unique textures of the ‘80s and ‘90s—think geometric rugs, velvet upholstery, and quirky lava lamps. But we also understand the demands of modern living, where functionality, comfort, and sustainability are key. Our curated furniture collections and design tips strike a balance between these worlds, offering pieces that are as durable as they are delightful.
We believe that great design doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. That’s why we offer free tools like our style quiz, room visualizers, and blog packed with actionable advice. Whether you’re drawn to the sleek lines of Scandinavian design or the vibrant chaos of retro pop art, we’re here to guide you through the process of creating a space that feels authentically yours. Our goal is to make interior design approachable, so everyone can experience the joy of a well-designed home.
What Sets Us Apart
Unlike mass-market furniture retailers, House by the Video Store Studio focuses on curation over quantity. We don’t overwhelm you with endless options; instead, we handpick furniture and decor that embody quality, character, and a touch of nostalgia. Each piece in our collection is chosen for its ability to transform a room, whether it’s a statement-making retro sofa or a subtle vintage-inspired lamp. We also prioritize sustainability, partnering with artisans and manufacturers who share our commitment to ethical production.
Our team travels the globe to source unique finds, from flea markets in Paris to artisan workshops in Brooklyn. This allows us to offer exclusive pieces you won’t find in big-box stores. But we’re more than just a furniture retailer—we’re a resource for inspiration. Our blog covers everything from color theory to space-saving hacks, while our social media channels offer daily doses of design ideas and behind-the-scenes glimpses into our creative process.
