Home Décor Wholesalers for Small Shops (Trends + Margins )

🧾 How to Evaluate Décor Suppliers

✅ Ask for catalogs or digital lookbooks – these reveal seasonal collections.
✅ Check MOQs – under $300 is ideal for first-time buyers.
✅ Request samples – small décor items can vary in finish or material.
✅ Study packaging photos – some items (like glass vases) require special protection.
✅ Confirm export options – ensure they can ship or recommend freight partners.

💡 Issy’s Tip: Suppliers like Creative Co-Op and Mud Pie often release Spring/Fall collections — pre-ordering ensures you get best-sellers before they’re gone.

📸 How to Merchandise Décor for Higher Sales

• Group products by color palette or theme (e.g., “Earthy Neutrals”).

• Add cross-category bundles: candle + tray + vase = ready gift set.

• Use storytelling displays both online and in-store (“A Cozy Morning Corner”).

• Feature before-and-after styling reels on Instagram or Pinterest.

🧡 Remember: Décor isn’t just what people see — it’s how they want to feel in their space.

🧠 Common Mistakes Small Shops Make

❌ Ordering too many bulky or seasonal items first.
❌ Ignoring packaging for fragile goods (see Fragile Packaging Guide).
❌ Not testing price sensitivity before bulk reorders.
❌ Buying from unverified marketplaces that don’t offer export support.

Start small, measure results, and reinvest in what sells fastest.
