Design Plus Consignment Gallery, San Rafael

The minds behind Design Plus Consignment Gallery believe in objects—in the stories they can tell, in the affection a person can have for a chair or a lamp, in the dimension a well-selected chair can add to a room. And with those beliefs in mind, these interior-design experts created showrooms that feels more like an art gallery than a furniture store. Yes, the tables, decor, and lighting fixtures here have all been owned before, but that doesn't make it a thrift shop. Because it's obvious from the condition of the pieces that they've been cared for and are simply looking for an appreciative owner to give them a home again. Design Plus customers, then, are able to bring a spirit of creativity and personality to their rooms, combining eras and motifs in a way that's not only distinctive and beautiful, but eco-friendly, as well.
