Whether it’s the art hanging on the wall, the lamps casting a warm glow or the knickknacks brightening shelves, home decor helps breathe life and personality into a space. But shopping at big chains or box stores can make it difficult to find that unique wow factor. St. Louis is home to plenty of local home decor stores that can help you add character to any space.
