Home Goods- Decor Resources for Empty Nesters and Downsizers

Now that you’re older you may want to downsize or redecorate after your kids leave the nest. I moved from a large house to an apartment so my decorating needs are different than they were before. I’ve also found that it can be a hassle and sometimes physically difficult to haul furniture or other home goods home after shopping for them at a store. Fortunately, online home decor shopping sites abound these days to make shopping for home goods easy and convenient. Large items ship directly to your door. I’ve found several companies that I personally like and have listed them for you below.

The links below contain some affiliate links, which means I have partnered with these companies. If you click on a link and make a purchase I will receive a small commission (like a few cents) All of these sites are safe and I only promote brands I truly believe in. This helps to support this site’s maintenance and fees and I thank you in advance. Please read my site Disclaimer and Privacy/Cookie policy if you have any questions.
