Recently, I had the honor of moving into an office in the Old School House building in Claremont. I found myself in need of decorating an empty office space that needed to feel comfortable, stylish, and had a dash of my personality to it.
I shopped at various boutiques, home business, and stores in Claremont that were perfect for decorating any space. It was a fun and inspiration adventure that resulted in my adorable office!
Here are the best places in Claremont for decorating any space.
Norens Space
Norens Space is a goldmine in Claremont for authentic vintage décor. Located in the Old School House Building at 415 W. Foothill Blvd Claremont Ste138 (adjacent to Elvira’s), Norens Space sells mid-century modern décor, accessories, furniture, art, houseplants and more.
Their décor is truly one of a kind and are conversation starters. What I love is their prices are very reasonable and their selection is carefully curated.
Niel Noren and Kim Noren are the owners of Norens Space in addition to the and also Norens Nursery in Claremont Village. Their customer service is top notch and if you’re lucky enough you’ll get Sylvia to help you find the right piece for your space!
Covey Gardens
Covey Gardens offers interior styling consultations and design services for any space small or large. They have a storefront located on the corner of Yale Ave and Foothill Blvd with incredibly stylish décor for any room.
I bought a gorgeous marble top side table with gold finishing, an indoor snake plant (with pot), and candles for a side nook of my office.

There are several rooms and an outdoor space all filled with antique décor and furniture all handpicked and curated by Lisa, the owner of Ivy House Antiques.
You’ll definitely spend a fair amount of time in each room taking a look at all the beautiful antiques. Every time I have gone, I never left empty handed, there is something for everyone here!
