Tricycle

Vintage furniture and décor hold a special place in my heart. Blast-​from-​the-​past pieces bring a little flavor to home furnishings, and they are fun to spend time searching for. If you’re suffering from Ikea-​induced decorating boredom, head to Tricycle. This adorable shop in Wynwood sits quietly among the larger than life gallery spaces in the area. But inside, this one-​room vintage furniture stop is anything but quiet. From amazing vintage couches recovered in modern-​day fabrics, kitschy bronze ducks hanging on the wall, awesome dragon sculptures, mod vases and funky mid-​century chairs, tables and end tables, you’ll certainly find something to spunk up your interior design style. The owners are actually professional designers themselves, so I’m sure they’d be willing to share a tip or two. Tricycle prides itself on green living by using recycled materials and taking a green approach to refinishing furniture. They also support local artists by featuring their wares in the store. Most prices fall in the $ 200 range with couches falling in the mid $ 3,000 area. It’s definitely affordable and cool enough to get your designing wheels in motion.
