Sure, Ikea, Target, West Elm, The Container Store, and the Crate & Barrel outlet are obvious and great choices to decorate your apartment. But for a home with some soul and personality, it's best to go off the beaten path. That's why we've rounded up a highly-subjective list of 38 amazing furnishing stores in Washington that will help your place truly become your own. Listed from north to south, we've got suggestions for where to outfit your home — from the living room to the kitchen utensil drawer.
