Dwell Home Co is a locally owned and operated shop featuring affordable modern furniture and thoughtfully selected home decor to help create spaces that you love within your home. Kaitlin was able to interview the owner of Dwell Home Co: Jamie Batson about her shop. 

How did you come up with the idea for this shop?

I've always loved all things related to home decor and design. Earlier in life, when I had more time, I could sit and watch HGTV for hours and was constantly reimagining and redecorating my own home.  The shop has allowed me to turn that passion into something that not only fills my cup, but also allows me to help other people!

How did you choose the name?

I wanted the shop to have a name that represented home and not just a place to live, but a place you enjoy spending time in. 

Merriam Webster defines dwell as:

1. to remain for a time

dwell in the hallway

2. to live as a resident.

3. Exist

4. to keep the attention directed

 It was the perfect name to describe what I wanted to create.

How do you obtain the items for your shop?

We travel the country meeting with vendors, new and existing, to source items from all over the world.  I look for items that I personally love and believe others will love too.  Most recently we've started carrying art from an extremely talented local artist, which I am SO excited about!

Are you working on any other business ventures?

Who has time for that?! :)

What is the best thing about running Dwell Home and Co?

My favorite part is having the opportunity to solve a problem for a customer.  They come in with a photo of a space they're struggling with and we work to help them find a solution.  Sometimes it can be challenging to envision how a space can be transformed and we love helping our customers see the possibilities.  

What items do you recommend the most for homeowners? 

We have a lot of new homeowners who are looking for help styling built-ins or open shelving.  We'll have them bring us a picture and then we spend time helping them pick out items that fit with their space and what they like. We've also found there is a need for large-scale art, especially in newer homes with expansive walls and high ceilings.  We carry large art in the shop and can also place custom orders.

Do you have a favorite item from the shop?

Right now I am in LOVE with our Skyler chairs and am SO tempted to bring them home with me!
