Join us on the Boroughs & Burbs podcast this Thursday from 3pm to 4pm for episode #112, where we delve into the world of home aesthetics with Rhonda Eleish and Edie van Breems. Known for their unique ability to bring an inviting aesthetic to a diverse range of homes, from rustic retreats to grand estates and chic city apartments, their approach to design is both versatile and deeply rooted in Scandinavian traditions.
We'll explore their journey from launching Eleish van Breems as a fine antiques gallery in a historic 1760 house in Woodbury, CT, to establishing their presence with inviting storefronts in Westport and Nantucket. Their fresh take on Gustavian and country Swedish antiques, paired with contemporary Scandinavian accessories, has garnered an international following.
In light of the current home furnishings industry trends, where demand for home goods spikes amidst challenges of higher costs and lower margins, we'll discuss strategies for thriving in a volatile market. We'll also touch on the growth of e-commerce in home furnishings, which continues to rise despite a slow overall market expansion.
Tune in for a captivating conversation on design, business, and the evolving landscape of home furnishings.
