We put the time in to build trust. 

Trust is an important asset while doing business. Our clients are confident in our pricing and our level of expertise. Our furniture designers also need to trust they will be well-represented in an overseas market. Our furniture designers want to know we will maintain their brand’s integrity. Our clients need to count on us to bring them a unique and high-end product at a fair price.

This is how Personal Space was born. Personal Space bridges shortens the leap between between high-end, boutique furniture designers and their perfect customer match. All this, with little extra cost to vendors and our clients. 

How? Proving we could be trusted. We act as central intelligence when it comes to sourcing, custom designs, R&D, global freight, and domestic distribution. Think of us as your personal producer. 

We are proud to say that our customers receive their items from a different continent faster than many domestic companies can deliver to them. This is our passion at Personal Space. Our business model is built around our goal to make industry processes seamless.  Let us do the curating, the customizing; the delivery. All you have to do is choose. 

We love all our personally curated products, but the more we exhibit and look at our site metrics, one thing is certain, people have their favorites. 

The Top-Selling Personal Space Items And the Story of Their New Homes. 

The Kelopak Pendant Light is majestic. Coming in four sizes it's a statement piece handmade by using zipper fabric. Sustainable and hand washable, your light will be forever bright. 

Beau, 35 came to Personal Space feeling frustrated. His wife returns his birthday gift every year. She told him: "I don't regret marrying you, but you have terrible taste when it comes to ladies' gifts." So savage! We had just the item for Beau to impress.

We sold him the Kelopak Pendant Light. When we followed up to ask Beau what his wife thought of her most recent gift, he told us, "She loves it so much, she apologized. I may never have to give her a gift again."

The Lumping Rocker has been the star of every exhibit. Winning the "Instagram Product Pick" at Las Vegas Market 2019, this chic little piece was featured by designer AlvinT at Salone del Mobile in Milan. Providing your order meets the minimum requirement, we can custom create your dream color. 

Simone, 43 had her first baby the year before. She and her family live next to a small horse farm. Simone tells us her daughter's first word was "hoosey" for "horsey". Because she's still too little to ride, Simone chose the Lumping Rocker for her toddler. "I love it because the design is so cool. She loves it because she thinks it's a real horse." 

A partner in the creation of the Virgin Hotel in Dallas, Bill Hutchinson proves the Lumping Rocker is for children and for adults who feel like big kids! 

The Matahari Wall Lamp is such stellar lighting design it sells itself. Beautiful hanging solo or in a group at the entryway of your home, the Matahari Wall Lamp was created using pressed linen. This sustainable and sexy light doubles as a mirror.  

Zara, 30 had moved from London to Hermosa Beach, CA. She was starting a new job and moved into a one bedroom apartment. "It was my first well-paying job and I wanted to buy an investment piece. I was sick of cheap furniture and at this point I feel allergic to particle board. When I saw the Matahari Wall Lamp, I had to buy three! I am officially adulting," Zara said.

The dinnerware game is nothing to blink at. Some of our favorite clients are the ones starting farm-to-table restaurants and small cafés who want R&D. These porcelain matte black and ivory plates have a gold aquoso rim. They come in a full set and were created custom for Personal Space.

Justine, 37 moved back to her hometown of Taos, New Mexico. She purchased a farmhouse and decided to start hosting specialty dinners. She built local buzz about the unique dishes she was serving.

She found us online and wrote, "I have finally arrived. I'm serving farm-to-table specialty dinners and deserts out of my home. Big issue, my dishes are from my teenage years! When you spend hours artfully plating high-end dishes, it gets a little confusing when they're served on old plates."

We followed up with her to see how the plates were working out. Justine's response, "These dishes are allowing me to up my ambience game. Every dinner party raves about them. I set out for my cooking to be the star of the show, but now people are raving about the dinnerware." Justine said.

We'll take it! 

The Da Moon brass dinnerware is our most-ordered online item. The full Da Moon set covers everything you'll need from the Full Moon sauce bowl to the Moon Stone Cup Goblet. 

One of our many Interior Designer clients, Greta, 28 was only a few years into working at her San Francisco-based firm when her colleague left on maternity leave. Greta inherited her clients. One of her newly inherited clients was a dream because she has great taste and was redoing her home from top to bottom. Greta's client had voiced she wanted special dinnerware. "Something that needs to be nurtured and cared for." That's rare, most people want dishware they put in the washer. When we showed her the Da Moon brass plate series, her client stopped hesitating after 2 months of kitchen and dinnerware shopping, and ordered 5 sets! 

Fun fact about brass plates. In previous centuries, royalty would eat from brass plates because the color would turn if the food was poisoned, saving many a king and Queen's life! When we told Greta she relayed the story to her client. "She says that she always knew she was a Queen and that for the next few dinner parties she's looking forward to seeing if she has any false friends at the table."

Until then, <3 from the PSMB Team and Founder,  Laurie Wiluan. 

Sagittarius (November 23rd to December 21st) 

Famous Sagittariuses: Jay-Z, Brad Pitt, Taylor Swift, Jane Fonda, Tina Turner, Samuel L Jackson, Britney Spears, Ben Stiller. 

Symbol: Half-human, half-horse, also known as the Archer, is the learned healer whose higher intelligence forms a bridge between Earth and Heaven.

If you're a Sagittarius, you're always seeking adventure or moving to the next best thing. If you present "The Archer" with a gift and if they don't like it, they'll tell you. Brutal honesty and blunt truth are second nature to this adventurous soul. Because a Sagittarius is a lover of new spaces and places, (always getting bigger and better) as they grow, we want to pair them up with something they can easily take with them on their journey. Sagittarius, we recommend for you something easy to move and also meet your high standards.

For "The Sage" in our showroom, we select, The Thistle Pendant Lamp. Made from pressed canvas, these lamps are creative, intricate and pretty rad. 

Capricorn (December 22nd to January 20th) 

Famous Capricorns: Lin Manuel Maranda, Betty White, Michelle Obama, David Bowie, Ted Danson, Patti Smith, Dolly Parton, Dax Shepard, Kate Moss, Howard Stern, Kate Middleton, Elvis Presley.  

Symbol: The Goat with the tail of a fish is said to face fear and create panic. 

Known as the fiercest goal-oriented sign in the zodiac, if you're a Capricorn, you're probably obsessed with work and success. The Goat is a persistent soul. A Cap will climb up a mountain and slide back down, 10 times before making it to the top. Capricorns do not give up when they want something. I mean, this was written by a Capricorn, but it's the truth, Google it! 

The good and the bad: Ambitious, loyal, sincere, determined, stubborn, self-centered, lone wolves. 

For the status-oriented Capricorn who works non-stop, we choose The Oversize Mayla Chair. It's a three-seater, Capricorn. This means you're going to take a day off and swerve out of your lone wolf comfort zone to hang out with some people you love, but also have a hard time telling them. :-) 

Aquarius (January 21st- February 20th) 

Famous Aquarians: Oprah Winfrey, Harry Styles, Abraham Lincoln, Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Anniston, Ellen Degeneres, Michael Jordan, Paris Hilton. 

The good and the bad: Frank, imaginative, unbiased, independent, detached, unpredictable. 

Symbol: The Aquarius sign symbol is a glyph, which resembles the Scales of Justice. Symbolized by the Water Bearer, Aquarius represents the flow of energy or wavelength. Although there is a standard symbol used to depict each zodiac sign, Aquarius signs and symbols can vary based on the artist who renders it. You may see different Aquarius symbols, spanning from the simple Aquarius glyph of waves to a full-on detailed drawing of the Water Bearer itself.

Accepting of the personalities of a wide range of people, Aquarians are powerfully open-minded. They're creative and naturally inclined to have a broad perspective. If you're an Aquarian woman you're a natural born leader and an asset to any company that hires you. (Hello, Oprah). The Water Bearer is also extremely independent, to the point where they can become detached. If you're an Aquarian you've probably gotten yourself into a relationship where you weren't emotionally involved. Aquarians are known for being attractive and popular, but also unpredictable. Although they tend to have a lot of friends, they have only a select few close buddies. 

Aquarius, because you're creative and independent, we're setting you up with a few bright and fun statement rugs. Meet the Kanta Border Dhurrie Rug, handwoven and dyed, this piece sparks your innovative senses. 

Pisces (February 19th to March 20th). 

Famous Pisces: Drew Barrymore, Chelsea Handler, Albert Einstein, Michaelangelo, Bruce Willis, Cindy Crawford, Billy Crystal. 

The good and the bad: Kind, compassionate, intuitive, sensitive, selfless, dreamers (sometimes escapists), idealistic, over-sensitive. 

Symbol: The Fish. The astrological symbol shows the two fishes captured by a string, typically by the mouth or the tails. The fish are usually portrayed swimming in opposite directions; this represents the duality within the Piscean nature. A Pisces is the mutable water sign of the zodiac.

Pisces are creative and very intuitive. They rely on their instincts to make decisions and have been known to glean information from unorthodox sources (through meditation, dreams or the spiritual realm). If you're in a relationship with a Pisces it helps if you are open or even a little bit "woo woo". :-)  The fish is aces when it comes to out-of-the-box thinking. You can always rely on a Pisces to come up with something that seems strange but is the fix for what you need. Pisces are extremely sensitive. They are deeply compassionate and kind towards others but their sensitivity becomes a hindrance when they're confronted when things go wrong. They can take things to heart and become over-sensitive. No shade, fish, we hope you're not upset with us for pointing out the lovely sensitive nature you have. To make it up to you, we have something special selected for you. 

The Kelopak Pendant Lamp. We chose this for Pisces because it's truly unique. Handcrafted using sustainable materials from zippers, The Kelopak Pendant Lamp is washable. Coming in various sizes, our creative Pisces pals can use them for both residential or commercial spaces. 

Aries (March 21st to April 19th)

Famous Aries: Thomas Jefferson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Diana Ross, Mariah Carey, Elton John, Reece Witherspoon, Kate Hudson, Pharrell Williams,  Aretha Franklin, 

The good and the bad: Energetic, can-do attitude, determined, competitive, confident, trendsetters, ego-driven, abrasive, 

Symbol: The Ram.

Known as the trailblazer of the 12 signs, an Aries likes a challenge. Aires is the first sign in the zodiac, giving those born under this sign a strong instinct to explore. Competition is natural for the ram. An Aries will admit straight to your face they like to be the first to do anything. Aries have a fiercely rebellious streak and like to do things their way. Both a cardinal (leader) and a fire sign, Aires can light up a social situation. They ignite the crowd and get the party started. Always fashionable and bubbly, an Aries is very charming. Rams are also the biggest optimists out of all the signs. However, ego plays a big role in the psyche of an Aires. Threaten the ego of an Aires and you best be prepared for battle.  For the Aires in our showroom, we choose Brass Wall Art. The designs are original and if you'd like one custom, we offer bespoke services. This particular wall art is the focus of the room and rare in one's home or place of business. Just like you, Aries, brass wall art is a true trendsetter. 

Taurus (April 21st- May 21st)  

Famous Tauruses: The Rock, Queen Elizabeth II, Adele, Lena Dunham, George Clooney, Mark Zuckerberg, William Shakespeare, David Beckham.

The good and the bad: Stubborn, strong, dependable, generous, down to earth, self-indulgent. 

Symbol: The Bull. 

You bulls are extremely charming and personable when you feel like it. Keywords: (when you want to be). Which brings us to another key Tauran trait: stubbornness. Like your fellow earth sign Capricorn, the bull is unspeakably headstrong.  But it works for Tauruses as they keep close company. They prefer quality friends over having an entourage. The bull is dependable. Hire a Taurus and you won't be disappointed. If you're lucky to be friends with a Taurus, you'll find a loyal and trustworthy ally. Known as the strongest sign in the zodiac, the bull is not emotional but when you are it's full-on Telemundo! Dram-MA. What people don't understand about the bull is they are just as hard on other people as they are on themselves. But the cool thing about a Taurus is they work hard, but they know how to take me-time too. Carving out a long weekend and a day off for a facial or a haircut is pure bliss for the bull. Some people feel Tauruses are lazy. But, a Taurus is headstrong first. The bull only puts energy into projects they're passionate about; not what people delegate to them. Their ruling planet is Venus, which means it's a Taurus you want to host the party (and an Aries to circulate or DJ) :-) Being ruled by Venus means they know their wine and they have a taste for good food. For the lovely bull in our showroom, we pick these stunning porcelain plates with a gold and platinum aquoso rim. This dinnerware comes in matte black and ivory. As a natural entertainer, your dishes will be the stunner of the gorgeous party you throw. 

Gemini (May 21st-June21st) 

Symbol: The Twins 

The good and the bad: Adaptable, Intellectual, great communicators, witty,  indecisive, lacking direction, nosey. 

Famous Geminis: Angelina Jolie, Kanye West, Chris Pratt, Lenny Kravetz, Paul McCartney, Nicole Kidman, Lana Del Ray. 

The traits of the Twins are more flexible than other signs of the zodiac. While most signs are known for one key thing, a Gemini is more varied. Some Geminis enjoy being the center of attention while others like being on the sidelines talking about the person who is the center of attention! That's the Twins for you. Life is never boring with a Gemini. You can drop a Gemini off anywhere and they'll adapt. A Gemini can live in 10 cities in 10 years and be completely cool about it. The Twins are known for being highly intelligent. They are outgoing and generally seek deep conversations full of witty banter. However, they want to know everything about everyone. It's said to never tell your darkest secrets to a Gemini unless you want your life to appear on the World News. We can just hear the twins protesting now. Blaming the other one for having a big mouth. :-)  It's hard to shop for two people at once, but because Gemini's are pretty chill and adaptable, we've got the perfect gift, The Matahari Wall Lamp! Inspired by nature and the art of origami, this mirror/lamp is paper cut and reflects a dynamic contrast of light and shadow. Perfect for your many facets, Gemini!  

Cancer (June 21st-July 22nd)  

Symbol: The Crab

Famous Cancers: Will Ferrell, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Kristen Bell, Nick Offerman, Larry David, Michael Phelps. Mindy Kaling. Frida Kahlo, Elon Musk. 

The good and the bad: sensitive, complicated, sentimental, empathetic, family-oriented.

Cancers are known as "moon children". The Moon is the ruler of feminity, fertility and maternal instincts. Cancers rule with their emotions first. They are extremely family-oriented. Cancers will fight for a family member to the end. They prefer the stability of the family and home life versus being nomadic. They are nurturers and emphasize with others very easily. They are quick to come to the rescue of another person or animals. Moonchildren are also ruled by the tide and can be moody. It requires patience to understand the mood swings of a Cancer. But remember, they are sensitive first, so when the crab bites, it comes from a place of hurt. A Cancer will snap at someone then the next day takes that same person to lunch. That's the ride with a moonchild! Being that Cancers love their homes the most it's an honor to pick out something for the Cancer in our showroom! For you, we choose The Petal Chair, regal and stately it works wonders with the Honeycomb B Cotton Dhurrie Rug and Thistle Pendant. Together, these three objects work in harmony giving you your own personal space! 

 Leo (July 23rd- August 22nd) 

Symbol: The Lion 

Famous Leos: Madonna, Kylie Jenner, Barack Obama, Lucille Ball, Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Lawrence, Keanu Reeves, Bill Murray, Tim Burton. 

The good and the bad: Loyal, fame-loving, kind-hearted, supportive, optimistic, egoistic, dominating. 

Leo is a fire sign ruled by the sun. A Leo will plead no contest if you accuse them of wanting attention. The Lion is the most regal sign in the zodiac and has a great need to be admired. Leos love the limelight and often seek careers in the performing arts. Sometimes Leo's ego will get in the way of their success. Lions have gigantic hearts. They're often kind and helpful and will go beyond to show a loved one or friend their loyalty. They're also headstrong and when they take a stand it's hard to persuade them otherwise. For the Leo in our showroom, we pick one of our faves, The Wonton Table Lamp. Inspired by the shape of a won ton and chopsticks this piece is attention-grabbing, full of light and a true showstopper. Just like you, Leo. 

Virgo (August 23rd- September 22nd) 

Symbol: The Maiden (The Virgin). 

Famous Virgos: Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Pink, Adam Sandler, Warren Buffett, Cameron Diaz, Dave Chappelle, Amy Poehler, Melissa McCarthy. 

The good and the bad: Meticulous, practical, reliable, intelligent, modest, overcritical and judgemental, fussy, harsh.

Virgos are hard workers who seek to better themselves. They have a knack for being analytical which can make them good at giving advice. The Maiden is always assessing the people around them and calculating their next move. They are a tough crowd, those Virgos! They seek perfection and cannot ignore faults in situations or others. Their meticulous nature can make them extremely negative towards others and themselves. However, the Maiden values family. A Virgo will go beyond to keep family ties intact. A Virgo loves to show and share their love but is not need themselves.  For the detail-oriented Virgo, we present our stunning Naked Raku Plates. The Virgo will love in their high-quality and 

Libra: (September 23rd to October 23rd) 

Symbol: The Scales 

Famous Libras: Kim Kardashian, Cardi B, Lilly Singh, Kate Winslet, Donald Glover, Bruce Springsteen, Zach Galifianakis, Lena Headey. 

The good and the bad: Balanced, charming, superficial, just, diplomatic, self-indulgent. 

Libras seek harmony, symmetry, and peace. Libras are ruled by Venus, which makes them very romantic. Libras find it hard to say, "NO" to people and their efforts to please everyone and this can result in their becoming stressed. Libras have a strong sense of justice and fair play. They are known for their diplomacy and make great listeners, always willing to hear both sides of the story. However, Libras can get carried away with external beauty sometimes ignoring peoples' depth of character. They love material things and can sometimes waste money on unnecessary luxuries. For the judicious and harmonious Libra (who also loves nice things) we pick The Rubic Shelf. We think Libras would rule this a great pick! 

Scorpio (October 23rd to November 22nd). 

Symbol: The Scorpion

Famous Scorpios: Anna Wintour, Ryan Reynolds, Hillary Clinton, Pablo Picasso, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bill Gates, Whoopi Goldberg, Julia Roberts, Kris Jenner, Bethenny Frankel.

The good and the bad: Focus, brave, ambitious, secretive, manipulative, vengeful. 

Scorpios are one of the most misunderstood signs in the zodiac, because of their incredible passion and power. A water sign that derives its energy from the psychic and emotional realm. The Scorpion is known for being secretive. It's said that their true feelings run so deep, and their emotions remain hidden. However, a Scorpio is often willing to uncover what other people are afraid to explore. A force to be reckoned with, The Scorpion is passionate and extremely intense. There is no challenge they are not ready to meet. This can make them ruthless at times. Not known to let sleeping dogs lie, mess with a Scorpion and you best be prepared for battle.  For the Scorpio in our showroom, choosing something for you is no contest. the pick was easy, The Dragon Scale Vase. 

Where does your teak furniture originate? The world’s fascination with teak wood is a long one. Boats made with teak have been found to be over 2000 years old.

Why did shipbuilders use teak? Mature Teak Wood has a high oil content, high tensile strength, and tight grain. Its natural weather, rot, and pest resistance is highly regarded. In Indonesia, it’s very easy to find very old houses made entirely of teak. Mature Teak Trees were once very plentiful and therefore, many people used it for houses, boats, and decorative items.
