“The best rooms have something to say about the people who live in them,” iconic English designer David Hicks once declared.
From morning coffee, informal playdates, business calls, elegant dinner parties, and cozy family nights, homes help occupants nourish the best versions of themselves. They must be as distinguished as they are comfortable, and nowhere are unique visions and house transformations better achieved than at Middlebury Furniture and Home Design—a truly one-stop shopping destination boasting distinctive offerings, luxurious designs, and impeccable customer service.
“We didn’t want to be a run-of-the-mill furniture store,” owner Dean John Yimoyines notes. “We wanted to be a lifestyle center that offers a broad array of items for all things home.”
Since his father, Dr. Dean Yimoyines, opened the store in 2009 as a luxury furniture consignment destination, Middlebury Furniture has evolved into a 52,000 sq. ft. showroom featuring an impressive and customizable collection.
Traditional. Eclectic. Glamorous. Rustic. Farmhouse. Neoclassical. Minimalist. Will you choose a luxe settee? Avant-garde chairs? An alchemist bookcase? Sconces or an old world chandelier? Captivating rosewood, mahogany, or live-edge walnut? Furnishing possibilities are endless.
From dramatic wingback chairs to gilded dining tables, you will find it all here, each piece designed to make a statement while offering utmost comfort and durability.
Customers may gather inspiration from meticulously assembled vignettes—featuring legendary crafters including Baker and Theodore Alexander—or browse the consignment selection of like-new furniture ranging from historical pieces to modern art.
Middlebury Furniture’s interior design experts combine 80 years of experience and stand poised to coordinate projects from start to finish, including furniture and floor plans, color palettes, lighting, rugs, artwork, window treatments, and Hunter Douglas shades.
Consultations generate information not only about style preferences, but lifestyles and tasks performed in any given room. Customization is available for every decor element, whether it includes tufted or woven rugs from companies like Stanton or Nourison, handcrafted dining sets from Barkman, or Hancock & Moore sofas, chairs, and recliners featuring countless leather options.
Increase bedroom serenity with the Biltmore Mattress collection and Sferra luxury bedding, while enhancing your living quarters and workspace with innovative technologies. Whether integrating a tailored home theater or listening room, creating a smarter home by adding automation, or strengthening networking capabilities, you will find the latest audio and video trends at Take 5.
Because all services are housed under one roof, choosing textures, colors, wood finishes, and decorative accessories is a convenient and cohesive process.
“The result is a curated aesthetic where rooms blend into each other and create a home that is as beautiful as it is functional,” Yimoyines notes.
If you are looking for a shopping adventure or seeking a specific product, the Shoppes at Whittemore add to Middlebury Furniture’s appeal. Linda and Rachel Yimoyines coordinate and manage the largest MacKenzie-Childs collection in Connecticut, as well as other leading brands sure to impress; the gift shop features a vast display of quality products, ranging from luxury body products, gourmet treats including Bridgewater Chocolate, fashion accessories, housewares, and gifts for baby and pets.
When you are finished debating decor choices or completing a successful shopping spree, you can drive less than three miles to Vyne, one of the state’s highest rated and most beautiful restaurants and bars, which the Yimoyineses opened in 2018.
From fine furnishings to vibrant artwork, gifts for all occasions, and outstanding cuisine, the Yimoyines family offers an exceptional experience in their hometown of Middlebury.
