Urban Home Market not only knows our customers, we embody them. We are known for being a vibrant home to a variety of lighting, architectural pieces, gifts, home furnishing and design services, all collected in one space.
What you’ll find inside Urban Home Market is always different. Every season offers a chance to find new and unique products to complement your home and fit your lifestyle.
Located at 1001 Doug Baker Blvd. at The Village at Lee Branch, shopping at Urban Home Market is never boring or intimidating. We want to immerse our customers in a complete experience that appeals to all of the senses while staying authentic and approachable.
While Urban Home Market is often mistaken as an upscale retail chain, we are a family-owned business that is spun out of a home and family-grown passion. Therefore, we offer personalized service and products that big corporations and big-box retailers cannot. There is no national sales plan provided by a corporate office in another state. It is simply Kathy McMahon and her vision.
Being local allows us to focus on the “family community” and serve each customer as a friend and neighbor. These friendships tie creativity and design with authenticity because of our knowledge of our customers.
“Our customers are our friends, and what we do is never, ever about selling to them,” Kathy said.
Urban Home Market’s core philosophy is guided by style, design and the passion to inspire imagination throughout our store. We have a dynamic, energetic team of designers and visual merchandisers who are responsible for every aspect of the store’s look and feel.
“Storytelling” is a key focus for our showroom. Each vignette serves as a series of different inspirations created to be inviting and stimulating. Our merchandising does not highlight the product so much as set a mood and create a starting point to direct the customer on their path.
Every season, our team of buyers travels across the country to attend major national furniture and accessory markets to find the latest product and design trends. This, combined with our interests and the needs of our local customers, determines our inventory.
Our team of degreed interior designers at Urban Home Market are accomplished and dedicated. Each one has more than 20 years of experience in residential and commercial design. The designers work with clients to achieve a shared vision that fosters creativity and delivers results that exceed expectations.
Urban Home Market even has a Design in a Day program in which the design team will transform any space in one day. As a local, family-owned business, we take pride in offering programs that support new homeowners, as well as other local designers and Realtors. The talented team can help you make your house a home.
Our merchandising mix is dynamic, layered and dense. We have many humble, recycled and natural materials. Many of the store’s most striking visual effects have been crafted out of mundane materials. This adds a rich layer of artistry and visual wit to the store experience.
We also want to give back to our local community by supporting local artisans, and we make an effort to bring in local vendors. We have recently taken on more local artists, giving people a chance to shop local pottery, kitchen towels and much more. This is part of the Market Place, which also offers specialty boutique items such as clothing, accessories and special gifts.
