Design Trifecta on Water Street

Feel-Good Interiors

“Wellness living.” That’s the phrase used to describe the inventory at the new Clayton Gray Home. But what exactly does that mean? “We specifically look for small, hand-made, and made-to-order products that are unique to our area,” says owner Wendy Garraty. “By sourcing from smaller companies, we are able to communicate with the vendors personally to ensure sustainable practices are followed.” With more than 5,000 items on site, Garraty doesn’t have just wellness-chic covered, but also vintage finds, as well as product from renowned brands like Arteriors, Made Good, Palecek, Kelly Wearstler, and Oly Studio. Fall brings Verellen to the shop. “We don’t do filler,” says Garraty. “Each piece matters.”

New Beginnings

Dwell Home Market is heading into autumn 2024 with a rebranding and a new name. Dwell and Company reflects the showroom’s grander scope moving forward. “Our design ethos is modern, global, casual interiors with superior quality,” says co-owner Kristy Craig Anderson. “We have more than 60 new Dwell and Company-designed pieces in development, all created with the current design trends and our customer feedback in mind.” Things have sure come a long way from Dwell’s meager 2014 beginnings as a purveyor of second-hand bookshelves, vases, and lamps. Today, Dwell’s inventory is all-new and the company offers home staging styling services from Tampa Bay to Sarasota.

Green Corner

Yura Vine Brothers started as a pop-up shop at Hyde Park Village in 2019. Five years later, its 900-square-foot location on Water Street is one of the city’s most popular plant shops. According to co-owner Samuel Rodas, a big part of the success has to do with Yura’s design services. “We offer ways to incorporate beautiful plants and planters into businesses and homes,” he says. “We also do a lot of unique moss art.” The hundreds of varieties of plants don’t hurt either.
