Step inside George Home, a space where Mid-Century Modern, vintage, and antique treasures come together. Part of the Titus Road Design Collective in Washington Depot, the store is a design lover’s dream, offering thoughtfully curated furnishings, art, lighting, and accessories to infuse elegance into any room.
Since its founding in 2017, George Home has been celebrated for its eclectic and ever-evolving selection. When it recently went up for sale, it was a perfect fit for Peter Nichols and Greg Domres, former New York residents who have called the Litchfield Hills home for nearly a decade.
When the store reopened in March, it unveiled new collections reflecting Nichols’ and Domres’ decades of experience in fashion, retail, and home design, while continuing to honor its reputation for quality and distinction.
“We want to uphold the legacy and trust that customers have in George, but also evolve, adding more whimsy, color, and a bit of unexpectedness,” says Nichols, who spent more than 20 years as a buyer in the luxury sector, working in London, Hong Kong, and New York with globally respected names including Michael Kors and NET-A-PORTER.
The sentiment is echoed by Domres, his business partner and husband, whose decades-long career spans some of the most influential names in the home industry, including a ten-year tenure at John Derian Company and work with Nickey Kehoe Collection in New York City.
Domres, a longtime chenille stem artist, shares with Nichols a deep love for beautiful, thoughtfully curated pieces, ensuring every item in the collection has style, character, and timeless appeal.
George Home mixes sensibility, fashion, and global perspectives, ranging from Mid-Century Modern English antiques to handcrafted bowls and the work of local artists. From Qing Dynasty tea tables and lacquer chairs to traditional American folk art and glazed pottery spanning the hemispheres, the store caters to every corner of the home, from Italian mirrors to hand-stitched linen pillows, glazed vases, candles, and hostess gifts.
Expect to find limited-edition, oneof- a-kind Dumais Made lamps designed in Bantam, Woodward Weave rugs– handmade and inspired by historical designs–abstract paintings by local artist Heather Neilson, and other exceptional finds.
Now offering extended hours, George Home is also participating in Second Saturday, a monthly event sponsored by the Titus Road Design Collective that offers an inspiring afternoon of design, art, and fashion. Guests can stroll, sip, and shop while exploring new collections, exhibitions, and collaborative showcases at George Home and fellow members KMR Arts, Pasquale et Maurice Home, Eckert Fine Art, and The Pinnacle CT.
From rare antiques to statement lighting and bespoke works of art, George Home is a destination where elegance and eclectic charm converge. In an age defined by passing trends, Nichols and Domres are committed to offering something far more lasting: new layers of inspiration where storied objects and contemporary design intersect, inviting clients to create spaces that feel personal and effortlessly refined.—georgehomect.com
