Don’t let the name fool you. Outdoor items are only part of the inventory at this multi-story design space. Relaxed, cozy, and eclectic in its offerings, this Summerland shop offers hand-woven baskets, cotton throws, and small-batch liquid hand soaps, as well as large-scale paintings from emerging artists. For outdoor spaces, there are made-to-order cast-concrete fire pits, planters, and teak furniture scattered inside and throughout the shop’s terraces and, indeed, on the front porch.

Wondering where Angelenos find that perfect antique birdbath? Water fountain? Pre-potted arrangement of succulents? This is the place. Founded by Shane Brown—whose Big Daddy’s Antiques in Los Angeles’s West Adams, has long been known for its pre-sorted flea market finds—The Well similarly overflows with vintage and antique items large and small. Vintage prints from California, iron floor lamps, wood-beaded chandeliers, , marble tables, urns; you might need a U-Haul.

Bruce Gregga and William Laman founded their antiques store in a charming cottage, in the heart of Montecito in 1995 and have spent the decades since maintaining a reputation for pieces with provenance and flair. This is the rare place where you can find a 19th-century Tibetan painted weapons chest, a 17th-century Dutch oak commode, and Indian-inlay side tables commingling with newer everyday items like woven rattan hampers and Moroccan straw market totes.

Since the ’70s, Pierre Lafond has held court over a corner of Montecito’s Upper Village’s Montecito Market and a duo of boutiques from his wife, Wendy Foster make up the ground floor of this emporium, but out the back and up the staircase is a haven for interior design enthusiasts, Upstairs. The selection is overseen by Lafond. There’s a constant rotation of vintage-inspired ceramics; bedding from Belgium-based Libeco and Australia-based Walter G.; and loungewear from Skin and Hartford.

Making it all the way to the third floor of the Blue Door’s jam-packed antiques shop in Santa Barbara, can be a little overwhelming; the shop is full of everything from vintage ’50s coffee presses to melamine serveware.

For high-end decorative items and furniture that function as works of art, there’s no place quite like Galerie XX. But while the mediums and styles of the pieces here may vary, the quality and heritage, from artists like Nakashima, Lalanne and Ponti, is always top-notch. Recently relocated to Santa Barbara, the former Los Angeles–based gallery retains its acclaimed collection of 20th-century decorative arts, furniture, and artwork.
