Home decorators can spot a crooked candle from across the room and treat throw pillows like emotional support animals. Shopping for them means choosing décor that feels both intentional and perhaps Instagram-ready.
Fortunately, the North Bay overflows with shops that speak fluent “interior energy.” These gifts bring beauty, mood and effortless style to the spaces your loved one has already rearranged three times this year.

Modern California Calm Décor
SummerHouse, Mill Valley
SummerHouse is the North Bay’s unofficial headquarters for the “California calm” aesthetic—linen pillows, sculptural vases, textured throws and tabletop objects that look effortlessly placed, even when they’re the result of painstaking styling. Everything here feels intentional and serene, making it ideal for the décor lover who critiques restaurant lighting and has strong opinions about scent profiles. A gift from SummerHouse becomes part of their ongoing interior narrative: one more detail in a space they’ve been refining for years.
