Black-Owned Home And Lifestyle Brands To Support Right Now And Forever

While home decor seems like it's just about shopping, ‌whom‌ we choose to support can actually make a huge difference. One of the easiest ways to show ongoing solidarity with and support for the Black community — besides donating to causes such as the NAACP, the ACLU, and Color of Change (just to name a few) — is by shopping at Black-owned lifestyle and home businesses as you decorate your home.

In celebration of Black History Month, we wanted to share some Black-owned businesses that should be on your radar this month and always.
