5 Best Home Accessories Stores in New York (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Brad Smith
By Brad Smith, Home Services Expert · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 7 min read

You need a housewarming gift, a set of glasses that don't look like they came from a hotel supply closet, or just something to make an empty apartment feel lived in. Between them, the home accessories stores in New York on this page have racked up more than 7,100 Google reviews, and the review counts alone span a huge range, from 489 up to 2,418 at the top. That gap says as much about foot traffic and brand size as it does about quality, so the ratings, which run a tight 4.0 to 4.5, matter just as much when you're picking where to go.

Short answer: MoMA Design Store leads this list at 4.5 stars across 2,418 Google reviews, the deepest track record here for design-focused home goods. Lot-Less and Century 21 NYC also rank highly but are general discount and department stores that carry some housewares, not dedicated home accessories retailers; Pearl River Mart and CB2 are the closer fit if home goods are specifically what you're after.

MoMA Design Store

4.52,418 Google reviews

MoMA Design Store is the retail arm of the Museum of Modern Art, selling design-driven home goods, glassware, and gift items, many produced exclusively for MoMA or represented in its permanent collection. Google lists it as a home goods store, book store, and gift shop. The SoHo location, separate from the main museum shop, is a smaller, boutique-style space that reviewers describe as calmer and more curated than MoMA's flagship store across from the museum.

What people praise

  • 2,418 reviews averaging 4.5, the largest review base on this list by far
  • Reviewers specifically praise the SoHo location's calmer, less crowded layout
  • Multiple reviewers call out the lower level's home goods and housewares selection
  • Staff described as knowledgeable and helpful without being pushy

Worth knowing

  • A minority of reviewers say staff could be better versed in museum member benefits

#2🕑 Open 7 days

Lot-Less

4.41,380 Google reviews

Lot-Less is a discount department store chain with locations across Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Queens. One longtime reviewer calls the Chambers Street location the best dollar store in Manhattan, and the mix leans toward everyday basics, food, and household items rather than curated home decor. It's worth knowing upfront that this is a general discount retailer that happens to carry some housewares, not a dedicated home accessories store.

What people praise

  • 1,380 reviews averaging 4.4 across a citywide chain
  • Reviewers praise the item selection as broader than typical dollar stores, especially for lunch boxes and small housewares
  • Multiple locations across Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Queens for convenience

Worth knowing

  • Several reviewers note posted store hours don't always match actual hours at some locations; call ahead if timing matters

Our take: A solid rating for a discount chain, but it's general merchandise first. Go here for budget basics, not for a curated home accessories selection.

Century 21 NYC

4.02,079 Google reviews

Century 21 NYC is an off-price designer department store that reopened its flagship near the World Trade Center after the original closed. Google categorizes it primarily as a department, clothing, discount, handbag, and shoe store, and its own site markets designer clothing and accessories at up to 65% off. Home goods aren't a core focus here; this is a fashion-and-accessories retailer that happens to sell some housewares alongside apparel.

What people praise

  • 2,079 reviews averaging 4.0
  • Reviewers describe genuine designer brands, Gucci, Missoni, Bottega Veneta, at real discounts
  • Multiple longtime customers say the store has steadily improved selection since reopening
  • Praised for a clean, well-organized layout across its three floors

Worth knowing

  • Several reviewers note the reopened store has less selection and higher prices than the original flagship, and higher-end items rarely hit clearance

Our take: A strong rating for what it actually is, a designer clothing and accessories clearance store. Include it here for completeness, but it's not the pick if home accessories are specifically what you want.

Pearl River Mart

4.3796 Google reviews

Pearl River Mart is a New York institution founded in 1971 as what its site calls a friendship store, selling home furnishings, ceramics, gifts, and fashion imported from Asia alongside items designed by Asian American makers. Google lists it as a home goods, Asian household goods, and gift shop, which lines up with what reviewers describe: a broad, browsable mix of housewares and decor rather than a narrow specialty.

What people praise

  • 796 reviews averaging 4.3
  • Reviewers repeatedly call it a genuine NYC institution with a wide ceramics and housewares selection
  • Praised for unique gift options not found at typical retailers
  • Second-generation ownership actively responds to customer feedback in reviews

Worth knowing

  • A handful of reviewers mention pricing feels high for a smaller or newer location compared to the original flagship

CB2

4.0489 Google reviews

CB2 is a modern furniture and home goods retailer, part of the Crate & Barrel family, with a SoHo store on Broadway. Google lists it as a furniture store along with bedroom furniture, kitchen supply, rug, and outdoor furniture categories, and reviewers describe full-room styling help from in-store staff rather than a self-serve browse.

What people praise

  • 489 reviews averaging 4.0
  • Reviewers specifically name staff, including designers on-site, who help style full rooms
  • Multiple reviewers praise smooth delivery coordination for larger furniture pieces
  • Interior designers cite it directly as a reliable source for client-budget furnishings

Worth knowing

  • One reviewer described a sizing mix-up on a custom sectional order and slow follow-up from the call center; confirm exact dimensions and delivery terms before ordering large furniture

Our take: A genuine home and furniture retailer with design support built in. The rating trails the top picks slightly, driven mostly by delivery and custom-order friction rather than product quality.

How we ranked these stores

Rating is each store’s live Google average. Review volume is how many customers actually left a rating, ranked against the others we compared. Confidence blends rating with volume, so a 4.5 on 2,418 reviews scores higher on trust than a smaller sample at the same rating. Recency checks how recently people are still reviewing. No store can pay to change these numbers; the only thing money buys on this site is the Featured badge, and none of these five paid for it.

What do home accessories cost at these New York stores?

Prices vary enormously depending on which kind of store you’re in. Budget basics at a discount chain like Lot-Less typically run under $20, while curated design objects at MoMA Design Store, Pearl River Mart’s ceramics, and CB2’s furniture span a much wider range depending on the piece. Check current in-store or online pricing directly, since none of these retailers publish a fixed price list.

Where to shop across the city

MoMA Design Store, Century 21, Pearl River Mart, and CB2 all cluster in Lower Manhattan and SoHo, an easy multi-stop afternoon on foot. Lot-Less has the widest footprint, with locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Queens, so if you’re searching for a home accessories store near me outside Manhattan, that’s the chain most likely to have a location close by.

What to check before you shop for home accessories

  • Does the store carry the specific category you need (decor, furniture, kitchenware), or just a general mix?
  • What’s the return and exchange policy on sale or clearance items?
  • For furniture, what’s the delivery timeline and fee?
  • Are online prices the same as in-store, or does the store price-match?
  • For custom orders, what happens if dimensions or details are wrong on arrival?
  • Does the location you’re visiting carry the full catalog, or a reduced in-store selection?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data, ratings, review counts, and how recently people are still reviewing each store. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another store’s score or position. None of the five stores on this page paid for placement.

How did you choose these five stores?

We compared businesses in New York that came up for home accessories with a real, active Google Business Profile, then ranked by rating, review volume, and recency. A few of the results, Lot-Less and Century 21, turned out to be general discount and department stores rather than dedicated home accessories retailers; we’ve flagged that honestly in each write-up rather than pretend otherwise.

How often is this updated?

We last verified ratings and review counts in July 2026. Treat the numbers here as a snapshot, not a live feed.

Which of these stores is best for a housewarming gift?

MoMA Design Store and Pearl River Mart are the strongest picks for distinctive, gift-ready home items based on review content. CB2 is the better call for furniture-scale gifts.

The bottom line

MoMA Design Store is the safe default if you want a genuine home and design retailer with the deepest review record on this list. Pearl River Mart is the pick for something more distinctive. Skip Lot-Less and Century 21 for this specific errand; they’re worth visiting, just not for curated home accessories.
