About Us
Making Design History Since the 1990's!
We are on the second generation for many families in Florida. That's right, we started changing the landscape of home furnishings in Southwest Florida way back when, and are still going at it strong here in 2024!
So whether you're starting out in your first home, are a newly arrived Floridian, are empty nesters or somewhere in between, we are here to provide you with furnishings you'll be inspired by and proud of for years to come. Stand out from the crowd with hand crafted, sustainable furniture.
At Decor Direct, we don't just craft furniture, we create functional art.
Community
At our heart, we are more than just a business; we are a committed member of the Sarasota, Bradenton & Lakewood Ranch Florida community for three decades. Our dedication to making a difference extends beyond our sustainable furniture focus, as we proudly support a variety of local charities that touch lives and build brighter futures.
Among them, the American Legion stands out for its unwavering commitment to supporting those folks who have put their life on the line to support the ideals of the American dream. Our team member, Don exemplifies this commitment, having served in the US Navy and also being instrumental in the expansion of the American Legion Post 30 here in Sarasota, as Commander of Post.
Additionally, our collaboration with Habitat for Humanity underscores our belief in the power of community and the focus on safe and affordable housing.
